Halle Berry has said that Pierce Brosnan “restored my faith in men” while on the set of their 2002 James Bond film Die Another Day.The film was Brosnan’s fourth and final 007 film and Berry co-starred as Giacinta “Jinx” Johnson, a national security agent.Speaking to Wired, Berry has shared her resoundingly positive memories of filming with Brosnan. “He will always be my Bond, always,” she said. “I’m a Pierce Brosnan fan.

He restored my faith in men on that movie. There couldn’t be a human who is more of a gentleman than Pierce Brosnan.”“Bond wasn’t on my wish list, no, not to be in one, but I loved the movies, always,” Berry continued. “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.”Berry’s Jinx character was set to get her own spinoff movie, before MGM Studios withdrew their support in 2020, which the actress described as “very disappointing” at the time. “Nobody was ready to sink that kind of money into a Black female action star.

They just weren’t sure of its value,” she said. “That’s where we were then.”Berry has been in reflective mood about her career in the last few weeks, after recently speaking about the legacy of 2004’s Catwoman.“I loved it.
