Judi Dench, 91, has revealed she has never seen a Star Wars, Star Trek, or any space film, despite once appearing in the sci-fi movie The Chronicles of Riddick. She clarified she has not watched that film either and was persuaded to join it by Vin Diesel. Dench made the comments while addressing rumours of a role in a Star Wars movie, saying she was not involved. In her new memoir, Is It Too Late to Make a Run for It?, written with Brendan O'Hea, she reflects on her career, her preference for theatre over film, and her sense of humour. The book shares anecdotes from her life and career, including her early rejection by a Hollywood producer who criticised her appearance. Dench says she feels safest onstage and has no intention of retiring. She recalls pranks, friendships, and personal memories with warmth and self-deprecation.
