James Bond

We caught up with Andrew Scott, aka Sherlock’s Moriarty, after the Topman Design show at London Collections: Men. Here’s what he had to say about his role in the James Bond movie Spectre, and his favourite piece from the collection so far.

GQ: The first one I wanted to ask you is an easy one – what do you think your favourite piece from the collection you’ve just seen is?
Andrew Scott: It was a beautiful coat. I love a good coat – it was a beautiful navy and black coat, very slim fitting. I actually think Topman are very good for coats, I’m wearing one of their coats today and you can get a really good coat there, yeah.

Topman have dressed you for this one, then?
Just the coat, just the coat!

What else are you up to during London Collections, are you going to any more shows?
Yeah I’m going to a few, I’m going to see Richard James, and I’m going to see Pringle, and Oliver Spence and maybe a few others.

Do you have a particular style tip that someone’s told you that you could share? You’ve played some very stylish characters on TV and on film, so you must have picked up something there.
I think it’s always, you know, try not to be too contrived, and stick to what suits you. I like a bit of colour actually. I think it’s good not to be too afraid of colour, you know?

What’s your favourite colour?
[laughs] My favourite colour is grey.

That’s sort of a colour – my favourite colour’s fringe.
Is it! That’s my favourite type of theatre.

What’s the worst thing that you think you’ve ever worn?

I used to wear this orange denim shirt that my mum got me for Christmas. It was very loose fitting, I didn’t realise you could get clothes in sizes below extra large.

So you looked like a rapper, basically?
I looked like a little Irish thirteen-year-old rapper.

What’s your position on double denim, are you a double denim wearer?

I don’t mind a bit of double denim, it depends on the shade of denim, you know? I don’t really mind it. You’ve got to be extremely careful.

No matching shades otherwise it gets a bit Craig David.
Well, it gets a bit- you know that picture, who was it, the two pop-stars with all the denim on together?

Britney and Justin?
There you go.

What sort of projects do you have coming up?
I’m doing the new James Bond movie.

Any style tips you’ve picked up from there? Have you started filming already?
Yeah I’ve started filming, I’ve got some great stuff in that some really beautiful stuff, yeah.

Are you going to be a well-dressed character? What are you going to wear, can you give us any sneak previews?
I am. Because it’s such an English brand I’m going to be wearing an English brand in it.

Suiting – any labels you can talk about?
I’m wearing Burberry.

Lots of trench-coats, then?
I couldn’t possibly give that away or someone would come and shoot me.

Dave Bautista Reveals Details About His ‘SPECTRE’ Villain

After rising to fame as a professional wrestler and then Guardians of the Galaxy‘s no-nonsense bruiser Drax the Destroyer, Dave Bautista will show off a more nuanced and debonair side as the henchmen Mr. Hinx the new James Bond movie Spectre, directed by Sam Mendes.

“When I came over to meet Sam, I only asked two questions,” Bautista told Empire Magazine in its new cover story. “I asked him if Mr. Hinx was a badass. He said, ‘Yes, he’s a badass.’ I said, ‘Well, is Mr. Hinx intelligent?’ He said, ‘Very.’ That’s what I like about Mr. Hinx. He’s very well-dressed and very well-mannered. I’m not just here to fight people. He has a sense of humor.” He also added, referring to Drax’s difficulty with figures of speech: “He definitely knows what a metaphor is.”

The character, who sports a dense goatee and newsboy-style cap in the first-look image published in the magazine above, will chase Daniel Craig’s Bond to the Austrian Alps, where he will try to kidnap Dr. Madeleine Swann, played by French star Léa Seydoux. (Monica Bellucci plays the other “Bond Girl” in the film). The burly Bautista “slimmed down” to 265 pounds for the part, which will likely be the second-in-command baddie in the film.

The big villain will be played by Christoph Waltz, who many had suspected would be playing Bond’s classic nemesis, Blofeld. But just as Waltz first promised at a press conference in December, producer Barbara Broccoli insisted that he will not be portraying a new version of the Bond baddie.

That being said, the film will still have plenty of more old-school elements, with Broccoli and director Sam Mendes promising a slightly more breezy installment than the previous movie Skyfall, with big action scenes (including a plane chase in Austria) and some (slight) humor. For more on the film, head on over to Empire and download their new issue, and watch the newest set vlog released by Sony, which you can see below.

A quick tease: The video shows some footage from the film’s shoot in Rome, including a speedboat chase up a river and a shootout that Bond evades thanks to his speedy Aston Martin. Mendes also discusses Bond’s newfound seniority over the rest of his team, which includes the new M (Ralph Fiennes), Q (Ben Whishaw) and Moneypenny (Naomie Harris).
