Rosamund Pike revealed that being a Bond girl is a ‘cool club’ to be part of — though that wasn’t always the case.
As Skyfall, the latest 007 movie, prepares to open, the actress — who played Miranda Frost opposite Pierce Brosnan in Die Another Day — told me she might once have been somewhat ambivalent about being seen as just a pretty appendage.
Even an appendage associated with one of the most successful film franchises in cinema history.
Die Another Day was her first film, and the sudden, full glare of international publicity was startling to her.
Also, she had no comprehension then that she would be associated with Bond history for ever.
Ten years on, she sees it differently. ‘Now I’ve got perspective,’ she said. ‘Now it just seems like a very cool punctuation mark on the CV. It’s a cool club to be a part of.’
Rosamund has been busy adding to that CV of late. She stars with Tom Cruise in the potent new action-thriller Jack Reacher — based on the 2005 novel One Shot by Lee Child — which opens on Boxing Day.
And she recently finished a small role with her old Bond, Brosnan, in the film Long Way Down.
