Actress Naomie Harris' main stunt double on the set of James Bond movie Skyfall was a man.
The Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest star plays secret agent Eve in the 007 blockbuster, but she shied away from many of the high-action scenes.
Instead, stunt doubles were called in - and Harris confessed during
an appearance on Britain's The One Show on Friday (15Feb13) that
they were mainly men in women's clothes and make-up.
When asked by TV presenter Chris Evans, "Did you do your own
stunts?", she replied, "I would like to say yes, but... no, I
didn't, unfortunately.
"(They were) mainly stuntmen... The guy who played me in the car
was a guy with a wig on who was 'blacked up' to look like me."
