Newest and hottest (?) gals to take a bite out of JAMES BOND 007! Will they SKYFALL DANIEL CRAIG into film fame or wash out like so many Rosa Klebbs? SEVEN hush-hush SECRETS!
They're the latest dominoed dare-dolls to add luster to the ongoing James Bond franchise — MEET French actress and model Bérénice Marlohe and Naomie Harris, who made their 007 debut at a news conference promoting new 007 flick Skyfall.
Here’s Double OH SEVEN things you may not know about the newest Bond babes.
7. Bérénice got her feet wet on French TV: She's had roles on shows such as 2002's Père Et Maire, 2006's R.I.S. Police Scientifique and 2006's Équipe Médicale d'Urgence — a show revolving around a hospital emergency room.
6. Bérénice's role in Skyfall — "a glamorous, enigmatic character" named Severine. The role marks her English-speaking debut.
5. Gorgeous Naomie has been seen before in 2006's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and 2007's Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.
4. Naomie's not just a pretty face: she received classic acting training at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, which was opened by Sir Laurence Olivier in 1946.
3. Naomie's a continental carpooler, working in both the U.S. and England: She said, "It's business first and foremost in the U.S., and you're a commodity. But I love their can-do mentality. They enjoy success and all the doors are open, no matter what you look like or where you're from. It's a big, hungry machine that constantly needs new talent to feed it, so everyone gets a chance. I'm sure my career would have petered out if I'd stayed in Britain; there's just not enough work here. On the other hand, I love coming back and being normal."
2. Naomie's been getting her limbs loose and her aim straight for the role. She said "I've been doing yoga three times a week to get into shape and stunt-driving and firing machine guns, which I've discovered I've got a real taste for."
1. Severin might NOT be Bérénice's sexiest role: She wore only a red wig in a steamy sex scene for Équipe Médicale d'Urgence as she made simulated love to a man as she faced a mirror.
