  • Berry revealed that Brosnan once saved her life by performing the Heimlich maneuver when she choked on a fig while filming.

  • Despite the popularity of her character Jinx, plans for a spinoff film were ultimately canceled due to the studio's reluctance to invest in a Black female action star.

  • Before her Bond role, Berry starred in notable films such as 'X-Men' and 'Monster's Ball,' the latter earning her an Oscar.

  • Berry has humorously acknowledged the negative reviews of 'Catwoman,' expressing her enjoyment of the film regardless.

  • 'Die Another Day,' directed by Lee Tamahori, also featured notable actors including Judi Dench and Rosamund Pike.

  • This film marked Brosnan's final appearance as James Bond, concluding his tenure that began with 'GoldenEye' in 1995.

  • Producer Barbara Broccoli has stated that the character of James Bond will remain a middle-aged white man, advocating for the creation of original roles for women.

  • Berry expressed that Brosnan will always hold a special place in her heart, calling him one of her favorite people.
