British actor Daniel Craig has appeared in drag for a video ad to mark International Women’s Day, which is celebrated today, 8 March. During the video Craig, renowned for his role as womanising spy James Bond, is educated on the state of women’s rights around the world by none other than Dame Judi Dench.

Dench, who has acted in the role of Bond’s boss M in recent 007 movies, narrates the two-minute video directed by Sam Taylor-Wood on behalf of a partnership of women’s equality charities called Equals.

In the ad, Dench suggests that 007 try his hand at being a woman by dressing in a blond wig, a dress and high heels.

“For someone with such a fondness for women,” Dench asks, “I wonder if you’ve ever considered what it might be like to be one?

Dench goes on to explain that women are responsible for two-thirds of the work done world-wide while earning only ten percent of the total income and own one percent of the property.

“It’s not just about money and power, every year 70 million girls are deprived of even a basic education and a staggering 60 million are sexually assaulted on their way to school.”
