New Delhi: It was a dream come true for actress Lea Seydoux to star opposite "intense" actor Daniel Craig in SPECTRE, the latest film in the 007 franchise.

The French actress stars as Dr Madeleine Swann, James Bond's former enemy and Mr White's daughter. She plays a key role in his quest to uncover a sinister organisation that may be connected to his childhood in the new Sam Mendes-directed movie.

"I grew up with Daniel. So my Bond is, of course, Daniel. I think he's great. He's very intense and we love him and he's the best Bond for me. There's something very intense that I really love. It became more psychological with him, as well. And more interesting," Lea told reporters while promoting the movie in Cancun, Mexico.

The Blue is The Warmest Colour star said working on the movie was her best experience. "She (Madeleine Swann) is different from what you can expect and she will change Bond's life and maybe I can reveal something, she's Mr White's daughter. I can say that it's been my best experience, really. It's been incredible to work with everyone on this film. I feel very honoured to be part of this film and I'm so happy to be part of it," the 30-year-old actress said.

Daniel returns as Bond for the fourth time. The other returning cast members are Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw and Naomie Harris, while Oscar-winning actor Christoph Waltz, Italian actress Monica Bellucci, Sherlock star Andrew Scott and David Bautista are the new additions in the movie.
