The actor and model answers your questions about bonding with Dennis Potter, corpsing in Austin Powers and her multiple, multicoloured Christmas trees

Why haven’t you done more comedy? You were effortlessly hilarious in Austin Powers. Haigin88
Why, thank you! I learned from the best playing opposite Mike Myers, whom I adored. I used to get terrible giggling fits when we were shooting and had to play lots of scenes without actually looking Mike in the eye, for fear of corpsing.There’s one scene where Austin attacks Basil Exposition’s mother, bellowing to Michael York: “She’s a man, baby!” while trying to yank her wig off to show she’s a spy. But it isn’t a wig as she’s a perfectly ordinary old lady. I ruined every take by laughing and I’m ashamed to say that in theactual movie, you can see I’m glassy-eyed and smirking.

Would you prefer to be a Bond girl or a Powers girl? MarkWatson1
Well, I like a catsuit – which, in this day and age, would mean a Powers girl. But my dream is to be a Bond villain – with or without a catsuit. I loved the Daniel Craig Bond films, but all the villains were men.
