Tall, slim, with large green eyes and olive skin, Kurylenko, 28, is every bit as glamorous as you would expect. Yet she’s no ordinary Bond girl.
This time, Bond has an accomplice in the form of the alluring and mysterious Camille (played by Kurylenko). Like Bond, she is a trained assassin hell-bent on revenge.
While Bond seeks to find those responsible for the death of his lover, Vesper Lynd, at the end of Casino Royale, Camille is hunting the Bolivian group responsible for her parents’ death. She’s a significantly more developed character than the “loved and left” Bond girls of the past.
Continuing to travel the world to promote the latest Bond flick, Olga Kurylenko turned up at an Omega “007 Quantum Of Solace” Party in Tokyo, Japan on Sunday.
Held at the Nicolas G. Hayek Center, the Camille Montes actress hammed it up on the red carpet before being presented a brand new watch from the luxury timepiece maker.
Meanwhile, during a recent interview Miss Kurylenko talked about how incredibly physically exhausting it was shooting stunts for the new Bond film.
The Ukranian-born beauty told Maxim magazine: “I got hurt because I was almost doing the stunts for real. When you see me get thrown to the floor, I’m actually smashing onto the floor. In the movie it’s one second, but we do it for half a day, so you’re falling again and again and again.”
Continuing to tell that the movie’s smooch scenes weren’t typical of her everyday life, Kurylenko tells, “I’ve never done that (kiss someone at first meeting). For me it takes weeks, sometimes months. I have to know a person that long. We have to become friends first.”
“To me sexiness comes from the inside. It’s what a man says, his movements, how he behaves, and it’s all about these little things. Sexiness comes through the eyes. I can’t really explain it. It’s a feeling, a connection,” she adds.
Olga Kurylenko Is Single And Happy
It was in Paris that she met and fell in love with a French photographer, Cedric Van Mol. When she was 20, the two married but split four years later and divorced. She then met an American mobile phone entrepreneur Damian Gabrielle, who persuaded her to walk up the aisle again. But the marriage lasted just over a year and they divorced in 2007.
Most psychiatrists would see her two failed marriages by the age of 28 as a search for a father figure. She insists, however, that she loved both men, and has no “regrets about it”.
“Both marriages, I loved the guys. I was in love with them. They are great people and for whatever reason it didn’t work out. Sometimes you love people but it’s just a connection. You can’t be in the same place all the time. It just happens. I still have good thoughts about them.
“If I had to come back I would still marry them because I had a great time with them. Each of them taught me something and I taught them something. It’s an exchange.” She refutes the suggestion that she may have been too young.
“I don’t think I was too young. In Europe you think it’s young but in my country they think you’re an old lady by 22. Nobody would want you.” This last line is delivered tongue-in-cheek. It’s hard to imagine many Bond girls being left on the shelf in their mid-20s because people feel they’re too old.
Yet Kurylenko admits that she was less than keen to get married for a second time, but was persuaded by Gabrielle. “The second one I told him, ‘we don’t have to get married, it’s just a signature, the most important thing is love,’ but he really wanted to.
He had never been married before, so he thought it was fun. He just wanted a big party. It was the best party in the world. I enjoyed it. I definitely don’t regret it. It’s my favourite wedding. I’ve been to a lot of weddings and my favourite is my own.
We had so much fun, we danced, I was wearing this dress … ” She trails off as she recalls the wedding which took place in Spain. “We’re all going to die anyway,” she continues, “so why not have the fun stuff in your life.”
Now single, understandably she says has no desire to get married again. “It’s not important. I’d rather be in love.” Instead, she is content to have a good time at other people’s weddings, which leads her to ask if one day she can come to mine.
At that moment I know exactly how 007 feels. You just can’t say no to a Bond girl.
