The Oscar-winning star of Bohemian Rhapsody is the new James Bond villain in Daniel Craig’s final 007 movie. However, very little is known about Rami Malek’s baddie with even his name being under wraps. Nevertheless, the 38-year-old actor has spilled some beans from the No Time To Die set, revealing an intimate moment with Craig himself. Malek made the reveal on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert this week while promoting the final season of Mr Robot.
On working with Craig, Malek said: “I was very much looking forward to it and he’s my favourite Bond, if I can say that.
“We had a scene that was a very complicated scene and we were rehearsing for it with our terrific director, Cary Joji Fukunaga.
“We’re sitting at a table over hours just batting about ideas back and forth.
“And we finally cracked this really challenging scene.
“He grabbed me, picked me up – I can’t tell if I initiated the next moment, if it was him or I – but, a kiss transpired between the two of us.
“I’m going to say that Daniel initiated it and I was very taken aback.”

Malek continued: “I took a moment, caught my breath, and I looked out and said, ‘So, does this make me a Bond Girl?’”
Last week, Craig became incredibly emotional during his speech at the No Time To Die wrap party.
According to the Daily Mail, the 51-year-old actor said: “I just want to say, and I am really quite drunk now so I won’t go on for long.
“This has been the best, most wonderful experience I have ever had.
“You have all done the most amazing job.”
Craig added: “I could not be more proud to work with every single one of you on this production.”
The star then went on to thank producer Barbara Broccoli, who chose him to play Bond back in 2005 across five movies to date.
“I would like to thank you for this evening,” he said. “For Barbara, for putting it on.
“Thank goodness, we did this tonight.”
No Time To Die will be released in UK cinemas on April 3, 2020.
