That look.

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Earlier in the week, a reporter for ITV’s This Morning got a pretty curt reply from Daniel Craig, a 47-year-old man and respected actor, when she asked him to “pout” for him.

Now fellow Spectre cast member Ralph Fiennes has been asked the same thing - albeit in jest - and had a pretty similar reaction.

“Earlier this week, a journalist asked Daniel Craig if he would - probably because of his smouldering looks, we know he's a looker - to pout," a Shortlist journalist asked him.

"If I asked you the same question, what would you say?"

With a look of utter disgust, the M actor replied: “Would I pout?! Fuck off.”

Such a rich voice! Such disdainful expression! I would gladly sit and have Ralph Fiennes tell me to “fuck off” in 72 languages.

The journalist congratulated Fiennes on his answer, before agreeing to fuck off himself.

The Spectre promo interviews have generally been a bit of a sh*t show thus far:

Craig was indeed asked whether he thought a One Direction member would make a good Bond replacement, to which he sarcastically replied that he would be “absolutely fantastic”.

Spectre is in cinemas now.
