The morning show host even suggested that he could be the first 007 with a dog.

The star made the admission on an episode of The Graham Norton Show which saw him promote the return of the hit  fantasy series .

He brazenly said of siblings Niki, Charlie, Simon and Piers: ‘Growing up was intense – we were living on the edge of survival most of the time.

‘To give you an example, my dad came home from work one day and asked my mother why the wallpaper had changed, and she simply said, “It is easier to clean the blood off this one!” There was a lot of rough and tumble!’

Open to offers: Henry admitted that he would ‘definitely have that conversation’ in regards to becoming the next 007

On his character’s lack of dialogue in the Netflix series, he said: ‘This time round he says a lot more and they have popped in some of my expletives from the last series.’

‘From what I understand there are very early conversations happening at the top but there is no list as such.’
