Halle Berry has spilled the beans, and it’s all about none other than the one, the only, Pierce “Suave As Ever” Brosnan! That’s right, the 58-year-old The Union star has been reminiscing about her time dodging bullets, wearing fabulous outfits, and yes, staring longingly into the dreamy blue eyes of the man who will forever be her Bond (sorry, Daniel Craig).
Let’s go back to 2002. Die Another Day hits the big screen, and while the world was trying to figure out how to deal with Madonna’s theme song (we’re still confused), Halle and Pierce were busy redefining on-screen chemistry. Recently, during an interview where someone dared to ask about her time as a Bond girl, Halle didn’t just answer—she positively swooned.
“He will always be my Bond, always,” Halle declared, probably with stars in her eyes and a dramatic orchestral swell playing in the background. We imagine there were doves, too. “I’m a Pierce Brosnan fan.” (No kidding, Halle, join the club. We meet on Tuesdays. Bring snacks.)
Then she dropped the real bombshell: “He restored my faith in men on that movie.” Now, I’m not saying Pierce Brosnan is responsible for healing the collective heartbreaks of all womankind, but Halle sure seems to think so. And honestly, who are we to argue with that? I mean, the man wears a tux like it’s a second skin and can order a martini while dismantling a bomb with his bare hands. Gentleman of the Year? Try Gentleman of the Century!
“Bond wasn’t on my wish list,” Halle confessed, probably shocking everyone within earshot. “But I loved the movies, always.” Yeah, sure, Halle. You accidentally became a Bond girl. Happens to the best of us, right? You’re just out there, minding your business, and suddenly – bam! – you’re parachuting into global cinematic history alongside Pierce Brosnan and his glorious smirk.
“I feel like I’m a part of cinematic history,” she added, all casual, like being in a Bond film is no big deal. Just another Tuesday for Halle Berry. No biggie. “Those movies are iconic.” Yes, Halle, they are, especially when you’re strutting out of the ocean in that orange bikini, making every beach-goer feel like they’ve been living life wrong.
Halle Berry didn’t just like working with Pierce Brosnan—she’s ready to write sonnets about it. And honestly? Same, Halle. Same.
