New Bond Girl Naomie Harris is sharing her excitement for the role and how she sees her character.
“I never thought it was a possibility, so it’s hugely exciting to be a Bond girl. I’m loving it. I love Sam Mendes. He’s a fantastic director. And Daniel Craig is incredible to work with, so I feel incredibly lucky.”
Harris plays a MI6 field agent named Eve and tells ContactMusic about how she sees her role and the training to play a female spy.
“My character would like to see herself as a female bond but I don’t think anyone’s really a match for Bond.”
“I kickbox and do a lot with guns. I started off terrified by the sound of a gun let alone having any idea how to hold one but now I really enjoy it.
Harris, presented at the First Light Awards 2012. First Light provides funding and expertise to enable five to 25 year olds to make their own short digital films and media projects. I’m sure the awards and this actress providing encouragement the next generation of British filmmakers. The film’s director Sam Mendes was a judge for the competition.
Thanks to MI6 and Contact Music for the stories.
I’ve loved Naomie Harris since 28 Days Later. If she can handle a gun the way she worked that machete then looked out bad guys in Skyfall!
