Rosamund Pike has let us know that while Pierce Brosnan may not have been shaken or stirred on the set of their James Bond film, she believed he was stripped a bit.
In a conversation this week’s on David Tennant‘s podcast, Pike recalled filming the 2002 James Bond film Die Another Day in which she appeared with Brosnan and Halle Berry.
Pike was 22 at the time, playing Bond girl Miranda Frost opposite Brosnan.
During a love scene filmed on a bed with faux furs, Pike said was wearing nipple covers secured with tape.
“We have this clinch, and then we separate, and I look at this body tape and the nipple covers and they’re covered in hair,” Pike recalled on the podcast.

“I thought, ‘Oh my God, he’s so brave, and I’m pulling off his chest hair with every embrace,'” she said.
“It took a couple of takes to realise it was not him. It was the fake fur of the rugs.”
Pike had a laugh as she remembered that she “literally thought I was waxing the poor man’s chest.”

All the men who have played James Bond through the years
Pike said Brosnan was an “absolute gent who “couldn’t have been more supportive or kind” while working on the film together.
It was the first blockbuster film for Pike, who has since gone on to star in other movies like Jack Reacher in 2012 and Saltburn in 2023.
Brosnan played Bond in three other films: 1995’s GoldenEye, 1997’s Tomorrow Never Dies and 1999’s The World Is Not Enough.
During an August 2024 interview with Wired, Halle Berry praised working with Brosnan on Die Another Day.
“I’m a Pierce Brosnan fan. He restored my faith in men on that movie,” Berry said.
“There couldn’t be a human who is more of a gentleman than Pierce Brosnan.”
