Iconic English actress Dame Judi Dench does not like being called a national treasure.
On David Tennant's podcast, Dench opened up on her journey as an actress and why she loathes the term "national treasure", reports dailymail.co.uk.
"I loathe those words, I loathe them. It's something very, very dusty behind a glass and in a corner. It's a relic and I don't want to be a relic," she said.
Dench also shared that she likes to play evil villains roles on screen.
"I hate to play parts that are expected. If a part comes through and it's some old person dying in a chair somewhere, I think 'oh no no, please not that'."

Dench has featured in over 100 films, including seven Bonds movies as James Bond's superior, M.
