"Then Matthew (Vaughn) and I have 'Secret Service', which is a nerdy 'James Bond'. We came up with this idea of a wee nerd who becomes a gentleman spy, ditching his trainers for suits and being taught how to speak properly. The reason he gets chosen is that a guy like that is disposable. I am a massive 'Bond' fan and 'Secret Service' is like 'My Fair Lady' meets 'James Bond'.
"Matthew and I are halfway through the script. There is a good role for a 50-something actor to play an older gentleman spy training this young kid. There are not a lot of tough actors in that age group but you would never believe Colin Firth or Hugh Grant in a fight scene. We are bouncing names around."
