IFC have been lucky enough to interview Ralph Fiennes shortly after the SkyFall press conference. Fiennes, who was unable to attend due to prior commitments, spoke briefly about his role on the 23rd Bond flick.

“I don’t get laid, that’s for sure”, Fiennes quipped.

Fuelling further speculation of his possible role as Blofeld, Fiennes suggested that “if you’re a Bond fan, then you’ll be happy”.

Despite admitting he prefers the Bond novels over the films, Fiennes praised John Logan’s script and labelled Mendes “a class act”. The English actor went onto say “they’re doing something quite special I think. I think they’re going to be great for Bond.”
