The action film was Pierce Brosnan's last as the character of 'James Bond'. And as Berry reflected on her experience filming, she opened up about working with Brosnan, explaining how the actor "restored [her] faith in men".

"He will always be my Bond, always," the 58-year-old actress explained in a recent interview with Wired as part of their "Autocomplete Interview" series. "I am a Pierce Brosnan fan."

“He was there for me," she later added. "He will always be one of my favourite people in the whole world."

"Bond wasn't on my wish list, not to be in one, but I loved the movies always," Berry went on to recall in the video interview. "But having been in one, I feel like I'm a part of cinematic history."

She later continued: "Those movies are iconic, they will forever be a part of our history, and I'm really honoured to have been part of one, especially with Pierce."

Well, this is lovely.
