Bond girl Catherine Murino has admitted that she is mad about Kenneth Branagh.

The Italian actress, who stars opposite Daniel Craig in the latest movie in the franchise, said she is attracted to the director's mind.

She said: "Yes, I have to admit I am in love with Kenneth Branagh. From a young age I've been completely mad about him and have loved everything he's done. He's just the sort of man I'm attracted to - intelligent but also very cultured. I have no interest in how men look physically."

Branagh divorced actress Emma Thompson in 1994 after five years of marriage. He was in a relationship with Helena Bonham Carter for the next five years.
