Mads Mikkelsen’s portrayal of Le Chiffre in Casino Royale was so cold and menacing that he became one of the most memorable Bond villains in history. Le Chiffre wasn’t a typical over-the-top villain; he was calm, calculating, and terrifyingly sadistic. Mikkelsen’s icy stare, quiet demeanor, and unsettling habit of crying tears of blood added a chilling edge to his character. The infamous scene, where he tortures James Bond with a knotted rope clearly shows his character’s cruelty and leaves audiences squirming.
