In an interview with Harper's Bazaar UK, actress Rosamund Pike recounted her audition experience for the 2002 James Bond film, 'Die Another Day.' She vividly recalled being asked to unzip her dress and stand in her underwear, a request she firmly declined. Despite this uncomfortable situation, Pike successfully landed her role as Miranda Frost. Reflecting on a comedic moment during a love scene with Pierce Brosnan, she humorously noted her initial embarrassment about accidentally waxing his chest, which turned out to be the faux fur from the bed. The franchise is now scouting for a new Bond actor.
In the Bond audition, I was asked to unzip and drop the dress I was wearing, to just stand there in underwear, and I thought, 'Well, no...'
I was so mortified. I thought, 'Oh my God, he's so brave, and I'm pulling off his chest hair with every embrace.'
Pike confirmed that she refused to strip in the audition, showing her stance against objectification in the industry.
The franchise, which was officially taken over by Amazon MGM Studios in February, is currently on the hunt for a new actor to take on the Bond mantle.
