Daniel Craig’s James Bond is famous for his style in tuxes, suits and swim trunks! Naomie Harris tells MI6 about her experience filming Skyfall.
“It’s going really well but we don’t finish until May. It’s a big movie. [Daniel]’s great. He’s such a nice guy. There’s been no trunks,” she lamented.
Harris is playing an MI6 field agent named Eve. The actress says don’t expect full on glam from her character.
“It’s nothing too sexy. She’s more of a tomboy, which I love.”
The Daily Mail has a photo of the latest Bond girl on holiday from January. Harris was on vacation in the Maldives with her family. If only she could be wearing his in the new 007 film.

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.

The Daniel Craig James Bond movies have been pretty serious with no sexual themed surnames for his leading ladies. The series that’s given the world Pussy Galore, Octopussy, Kissy Suzuki, Plenty O’Toole, Xenia Onnatop, and Holly Goodhead, that’s Dr. Holly Goodhead – may finally be loosening up and have little fun.
Naomie Harris – who is not playing the new Miss Moneypenny – plays an MI6 field agent named Eve in Skyfall. Harris was questioned about the secrecy of her character’s surname in an interview with STV:
“Will her name make people laugh? Um, yes. Yes, I suppose it will.”
Naomie Harris discussed how she prepared for the physical challenges of the role.
“Eve sees herself as Bond’s equal and she’s very active. I get to do lots of fighting and driving and stunt work and I’ve been training on the gun range most days. It’s been a lot of hard work. My body’s completely changed. I’ve got muscles where I never knew it was possible to have muscles, which is all very exciting. I’m very happy about that.”
I loved Naomie Harris as Selina in Danny Boyle’s neo-zombie film 28 Days Later. Harris proved she can handle herself with a butcher knife in that flick.
Back to Bond girl names – Gemma Arterton played Agent Fields in Quantum of Solace (she deserved more screen time!) Agent Fields was given the first name of Strawberry in the film credits as a gag.

Actress Naomie Harris puts one James Bond rumor to bed! Hope you didn’t have any money on Harris playing Miss Moneypenny in Skyfall!
When Harris was cast fans and tabloids speculated she would be playing M’s assistant Miss Moneypenny. The character was a mainstay of previous Bond films but has yet to appear in a Daniel Craig film. Producers said Harris would be playing an MI6 field agent named Eve. Speculation continued that Eve would be eventually become Moneypenny as part of the story.
Harris says don’t expect Eve to come in from field duty to sit behind a desk:
“The idea of me being Moneypenny was a good, racy rumour. But Eve is not remotely office-bound. She gets to see plenty of action. That meant a lot of gun training,” Harris told LIVE magazine.
“I’m such a pacifist that I never thought I’d be excited about guns, but I absolutely loved it. The weapons training I’d done on Miami Vice was with real bullets, but this time I was shooting blanks. I did two hours three times a week for three months, mostly working with a Walther PPK, a very light, very beautiful, ladylike gun.”
“What drew me to this was the opportunity to play a new kind of Bond Girl. We are Bond Girls who are multi-faceted, intelligent and capable,” said Harris of the roles herself and Bernice Marlohe will play in Skyfall.
I’ve loved Harris since her role in 28 Days Later and think she will rock 007. Thanks to MI6 for the story.
