James Bond villain and huge film star shocks staff as he buys Thai street food in Leeds – would you have recognised him?
AN ICONIC James Bond villain left staff members at a Thai street food restaurant shocked when he popped in unexpectedly to visit the outlet.
The well-known actor had his breakthrough in the hit Casino Royale movie from 2006 before going on to land a whole host of further roles.
So it is no surprise that restaurant owners were left gobsmacked when the star made an unexpected entrance into their eatery.
He looked completely different from his time working with Daniel Craig on the hit films – but can you work out who he is?
It is in fact, Mads Mikkelsen, who played the part of Le Chiffre in the hit movie.
The food outlet shared a snap of Mads posing alongside one of its owners.
They wrote alongside it: “A huge thank you to the brilliant Mads Mikkelsen for visiting Zaap Leeds this weekend!
“An incredible actor and an even kinder man, it was a pleasure to welcome you.
“From Fantastic Beasts to 007, and now to ZAAP Thai – a man of great taste! We’re honoured you chose to dine with us. Hope to see you again soon, Mads!”
Other regular restaurant goers could also not believe their eyes that the Hollywood star had stepped foot inside the popular food haunt as they raced to the comments section to share their excitement.
One penned: “This is the best!!!”
As another added: “No way!!”
Before a third said: “Love this.”
Mads, 59, originally moved into acting in the early 90s and became a successful Danish film star before he started snapping up some of Hollywood’s most coveted roles.
His later starring roles include King Arthur, Clash Of The Titans, Age Of Uprising, and Rogue One: Star Wars.
Mads also famously replaced Johnny Depp in the role of Gellert Grindelwald for the third movie in the Fantastic Beasts film series after the actor was let go from the role.
He is married to choreographer Hanne Jacobsen.
They have two children, Viola and Carl.
