Ralph Fiennes reveals a little about his 'Skyfall' character

Whilst chatting to British newspaper The Daily Record recently to promote his new film "Coriolanus", actor Ralph Fiennes also spilled a few beans about his role in the new James Bond adventure "Skyfall".

He told the paper: "I�m allowed to say that I�m a government agent."

His personal history with Bond goes back to the books, as he explained in the interview: "I used to be a complete nerd about the books and the detail in them. They are fantastic. There was Fleming�s obsession with different kinds of champagne and caviar. He kind of fetishises these things."

Fiennes was often touted as a possible Bond actor in the 1990s. On that topic, he said: "There was a time in my life when that would have appealed to me. But I�m a bit on the old side now."

Thanks to `gt007 ` for the alert.
