Where better than Cannes, the current epicentre of international glamour, to find a Bond girl?

The smiley French actress is also the new face of Swarovski, so she chats while picking her jewellery for the 007 event on Monday, a public screening on the beach.

Marlohe says she's just excited as fans to see the finished movie: "I know the actors, I know what we've done, but I don't know what they will do with it. So I'm very curious about it."

As for what James Bond is really like, Marlohe reveals that Daniel Craig doesn't deserve his serious reputation.

"He's very, very funny," she says. "He's like a clown."
