Actress Dame Judi Dench has become British Vogue’s oldest cover star.
At the age of 85, the Oscar-winning actress has made history by appearing on the cover of the magazine’s June issue, which has been running for more than a century.
Speaking to British Vogue, Dench spoke about his career, which has spanned more than 60 years, where he insisted that he had no plans to retire soon.
“No, no, no, no. Don’t use that word. Not in this house. Not here. Wash your mouth,” he said.
The actress said she lived in the words of Dylan Thomas: “‘Rage, rage against the death of light.’ No truer word was ever spoken.”
Dench revealed that one of the most memorable roles he played was M in the Bond franchise.
When asked if a woman could be chosen as a spy, he said, “I don’t think Ian Fleming wants a female Bond.”
Female action characters are a perfectly good thing, she said, but “call it another way, then.”
He also admitted that his dream role would be to play someone “who everyone thinks is a kind, holy and beatified person, and who is actually killing people.”
Dench was photographed just before the lockdown, but part of his interview was after the lockdown, where he shared his experiences of self-isolation at his home in Surrey.
“I’m sure I feel like everyone else, those unprecedented times are pretty hard to understand,” she says.
“The good thing is that it has made people aware of the situation of others who are completely alone. If great kindness arises from this, that will be an advantage.”

He added: “I don’t take my family with me, but we keep in touch a lot through phone calls and FaceTime.
“I am disciplining myself to learn all the sonnets. I try to learn something new every day, anything.”
Edward Enninful, the publisher, called her “the undisputed queen of stage and screen.”
“She brings great insight and a message of hope from her own quarantine in the English countryside,” he said.
“Always modest, the lady is not a fan of the term ‘national treasure.’ But treasuring her is. Now more than ever.”
