Wilson continued, "And besides, I'm not going to 'sweat-it' with nerves because I have a peculiar medical condition where I can't sweat...or cause offense to people because of my adorable Australian accent. So basically I'll just be there to hang out with. Dame Judi Dench and together we'll both try and bond with Daniel Craig", a part of her caption read. Wilson wrote, "And yes, I do mean ‘bond’😉This show will be an anniversary celebration of some important British film franchises such as HARRY POTTER and not such as CATS.
