It's a bit disconcerting being treated like Madonna.

I love both [Johnny English and James Bond] actually. The action sequences are really exciting because you're getting to work with some brilliant crew and do some great stuff but you always get some magic when you're working with actors.

I can be reasonably funny and light-hearted when I'm in the company of good friends, but I'm not a jokesmith. I tend to be quite serious.

It was the challenge of that that I found daunting, but also engaging and interesting [to play Maigret].

I think you're bound to get a sense of any character that you play. It's not something you often do in comedy.
