Currently serving on the jury for this year’s Cannes Film Festival, the Die Another Day star was asked whether or not she’d be up for once again playing that project’s Bond Girl, Giacinta “Jinx” Johnson. Variety was on hand to report on the subject, which saw Ms. Berry offer this official ruling:
“In the Bond audition, I was asked to unzip and drop the dress I was wearing, to just stand there in underwear,” Pike shared. “And I thought, ‘Well, no, I’ll be doing that if I get the part. I won’t be doing that now.’” Pike confirmed that she refused to strip in the audition.
EXCLUSIVE: Halle Berry became the first African American woman to win an Oscar in 2002 for her Bond Girl role - but she almost lost it to a radio host.
Juliette Binoche, head of this year's Cannes Film Festival jury, said on Tuesday U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to impose 100% tariffs on films made abroad, among his other policy decisions, was also about saving his reputation.
The L.A.-set heist movie also stars Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan, Monica Barbaro, Corey Hawkins, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Nick Nolte.
