James Bond is famous for his womanising as much as his death-defying stunts and icy cool under pressure.
But censors in India have ruled the fictional spy got a little too steamy in the newly released Spectre - and have demanded kissing scenes be cut.
Authorities have said that four scenes must be shortened for the Indian release, including cuts to at least two two kisses between Daniel Craig's Bond and co-star Monica Bellucci.
The decision has prompted hilarity on social media, as young Indians mocked the prudishness of the country's film certification authorities.
Earlier this week the certification board gave Spectre a U/A rating, suggesting parental discretion for children under 12.
Compared to Hollywood or the UK, censors in India are extremely strict. They often order film-makers to cut scenes and films with graphic content can be banned completely.
