Joanna Lumley says she kissed every James Bond actor - but Sean Connery was the best

The actress believes she is “the only person alive” to have locked lips with all six 007s. The Absolutely Fabulous star said she “defied anybody not to be in love” with Sir Sean, who died aged 90 last Saturday.

Other Bonds include George Lazenby, the late Sir Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig.

Dame Joanna, 74, was an Angel of Death in Lazenby’s 1969 hit On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

She told Times Radio that Sir Sean is her favourite, adding: “I defy anyone not to be in love with him from things like From Russia With Love. All the subsequent Bonds have been completely remarkable.”

And she claimed: “I’m the only person alive who has kissed every single James Bond.”
