Poker Lessons Make a Card Shark Out of Bond Baddie

New Bond baddie Mags Mikkelsen has become a killer poker player thanks to his role as villain Le Chiffre in Casino Royale.

The actor's character had to portray a top card shark in the new movie and Mikkelsen spent hours perfecting his poker with an expert.

Mikkelsen looks the real deal in the film but his interest in poker continues even after the cameras have stopped rolling says Mikkelsen himself. 'I am a card player and have been playing for many years,� he admitted.

�This time I had the opportunity to get a coach and that was a big help,� Mikkelsen continued. �I knew the game, but the tricks he gave me and the discipline he supplied me with made the difference when I went home and played with my friends.'

Mikkelsen learned quickly and soon became the best poker player on the Casino Royale set. 'I did get a royal straight flush playing with the cast once and I won all their per diem,� he said. �I was ready for people to applaud but they were pissed they lost their money.'
