US EditionRosamund Pike Recalls Refusing to Strip Down for Her ‘James Bond’ Audition
- Rosamund Pike recalled that during her 2002 Bond audition for Die Another Day, she was asked to remove her dress and appear in just her underwear, but she declined.
- She made this decision at age 21 before being confirmed for the role of Miranda Frost, surprising herself with her stand against the request.
- While filming a steamy scene with Pierce Brosnan, Pike mistakenly thought she was waxing his chest hair, which was actually covered by body tape and nipple covers on a fur-adorned swan bed.
- Pike described a moment during the audition when, after breaking apart from an embrace, she noticed that the adhesive covering Pierce Brosnan’s chest, including his nipple protectors, was surprisingly covered with hair. This made her feel embarrassed and admire Brosnan’s courage, especially as she thought she was effectively waxing his chest hair with each hug.
- Despite rejecting the stripping request, Pike secured the role and described the rest of filming as smooth, suggesting standing her ground did not harm her career.
