“He will always be my Bond, always. I’m a Pierce Brosnan fan,” Berry said in an interview with Wired. “He restored my faith in men on that movie. There couldn’t be a human who is more of a gentleman than Pierce Brosnan.”
Berry starred in the 2002 spy film Die Another Day in the role of Giacinta “Jinx” Johnson, an NSA agent. The film, directed by Lee Tamahori, was Brosnan’s last film as the MI6 agent after having starred in 1995’s GoldenEye, 1997’s Tomorrow Never Dies and 1999’s The World Is Not Enough.
“Bond wasn’t on my wishlist, no, to be in one but I loved the movies always,” Berry also said. “But having been in one, I feel like I’m a part of cinematic history. Those movies are iconic. They will forever be a part of our history, and I’m really honored to have been a part of one, especially with Pierce.”
