Grace Jones 'QUITS' new James Bond film just moments after arriving on set

Grace Jones is said to have sensationally quit the new James Bond movie just moments after arriving on the set.

The legendary star, 70, was reportedly so angry after discovering how few lines she'd been given that she walked out.

Diva Grace played iconic villain May Day in 1985 Bond flick A View To A Kill, starring opposite Roger Moore.

She was due to make a comeback to the franchise but was reportedly insulted at being given just a brief cameo.

Bosses are said to be frustrated after wasting time and money securing her a luxury residence to stay in near Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire.

A source told The Sun : "Grace’s 007 homecoming was meant to be a real crowd-pleasing moment. Bosses were really excited about landing her.

"Of course, she comes with a reputation, so they organised premium accommodation and rolled out the red carpet on set to make her feel welcome.

"But it turns out Grace was expecting to play a bigger role in the movie and took her brief cameo as a slight."

Grace's appearance in the movie was first rumoured in April, and it was thought she'd star in a scene alongside current Bond Daniel Craig.

Her reported walk-out is the latest setback to hit Bond 25.

The film was delayed when star Daniel was injured on the set and needed surgery on his ankle.

There was also an explosion on the set that was so bad it blew panels off the side of the building.

The film had already been thrown off schedule when director Danny Boyle quit over a script dispute in August 2018.

Despite all the setbacks, the movie is still said to be on schedule for release on April 3, next year.

A representative for Grace declined to comment.
