Even though she was only 21 years old at the time of the audition — and a total newcomer — she did not bow to the pressure, and told the agents that she’d only be stripping to her underwear for them if she got the role.

“In the Bond audition, I was asked to unzip and drop the dress I was wearing, to just stand there in underwear,” Rosamund told the publication. “And I thought: ‘Well, no, I’ll be doing that if I get the part. I won’t be doing that now.’”

Thankfully, Rosamund’s experience on the Die Another Day set was much more above board than the audition requests, with the star saying in 2018 that she felt completely comfortable throughout filming thanks to the movie’s producer, Barbara Broccoli.
