Mano a mano with JB

Javier Bardem, who played the relentless, hulking hitman Chigurh in the Oscar winning No Country for Old Men (pictured below), is to be 007's latest adversary in Bond 23, or Skyfall, as the title is now rumoured to be.

The 52-year-old Spanish actor says his parents took him to see many of the old Bond movies so he's especially "thrilled" to be part of the action, although he has, discreetly, declined to give any details of the upcoming role.

Now all we need to know is: who will be the new Bond 'girl'? Might the smart money be on Lady Gaga, who could then also provide a title song?
