HELEN Mirren reckons the James Bond movies are "sexist".

The Oscar-winning actress hit out at the 007 franchise for degrading women, while insisting the series has starred some of her favourite actors.

She said: "The whole concept of James Bond is drenched and born out of profound sexism.

"Women have always been a major and incredibly important part of the Secret Service, they always have been. And very brave.

"If you hear about what women did in the French Resistance, they're amazingly, unbelievably courageous.
