Ukrainian-born actress Olga Kurylenko addressed being the latest Bond girl in Quantum of Solace when she met with Australian press.
"That's not what an actor hopes to play", she said, referring to the many women Bond has encountered. "They've mostly been dull and just arm-candy."
The 29 year-old actress plays Camille, a woman also on a mission of revenge, much like Bond. Unlike her feminine predecessors, she did not manage to bed the secret agent. "Yeah, I liked [the older ones] but I especially liked Casino Royale", she says. "The Bond girl is also a lot more interesting in that one. That's what inspired me to go and audition for this one".
Having gotten the part, she then trained for the physical work which pleased her. "It was amazing. It was the first time I'd experienced doing such action stuff", says. "I trained a lot. I trained all the time, all the time - every free moment I had.
