John Cleese talks about life as Q on the Revlon set

The Ney York Daily News have spoken to John Cleese about life as Q while he was filming the latest advert for Revlon:

John Cleese takes over the role of James Bond`s gadget-dispensing Q in "Die Another Day." And, yesterday, the Monty Python veteran got into character for the launch of Revlon`s 007 Color Collection, a makeup line inspired by new Bond girls Halle Berry and Rosamund Pike.

Donning a lab coat at Django restaurant, spymaster Cleese fiddled with some vials that British Intelligence supposedly used to distill the top-secret lipstick shades. In reality, he confessed, "I`m so hopeless with anything technical that you wouldn`t believe it. It`s funny, because [current Bond] Pierce Brosnan is hopeless with gadgets."

Cleese replaces the original Q, Desmond Llewelyn, who died in 1999 in a car accident. He was 80. Llewelyn and Cleese "had a plan," the 62-year-old comedian told Daily News fashion editor Alev Aktar. "He was going to go on until he was 100, and at that point I was going to be 80 and would have learned enough to take the role over properly."
