I did read a brief interview with him when he was doing Spectre promo, and the interviewer was all "ooh you've got Monica Bellucci, how was it having an older woman for a Bond girl?" and he was like, erm wtf they're the same age!
I think he's played a part in modernising moneypenny and the Bond women, tiny steps in an outdated and sexist film franchise so I guess he's not all bad.
