That look.

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

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.
