A couple of weeks ago, the tabloid press were full of pictures of Halle Berry on the Die Another Day set, shooting what looked to be a re-enactment of the famous Dr No moment when Ursula Andress steps out of the sea in that bikini. Now, Berry has had a chance to explain why she donned the bikini. In an interview with American TV show Entertainment Tonight, Berry was asked what kind of costumes we could expect from her role as Bond girl Jinx. 'There's a couple bikinis,' she replies. '[with] a particular scene just to pay homage to [the Dr. No scene].' So was this all Berry's idea? 'No, in the script. I wouldn't have wanted to do that, really. How do you relive a moment that is probably one of the most remembered and loved images of any Bond women? Like, why me? Why do I have to recreate that? That kind of scared me, but you know Jinx is a fashionable girl, she's fashion forward and very sexy and takes fashion risks, and I love her for that.'
