Halle Berry shares iconic bikini video to mark 20 years since her James Bond debut

Halle Berry has been throwing it back to her days as a Bond girl as she shared a video of her iconic bikini scene from Die Another Day.

The 56-year-old Hollywood star took to Instagram on Tuesday to mark 20 years since the film was released and paid a special tribute to Pierce Brosnan who starred as the famous James Bond in the movie.

In the video, then 36-year-old Halle wore a striking orange bikini and white belt as she seductively emerged from the ocean after a swim.

Pierce, in the role of 007, looked on through binoculars and shouted: "Magnificent view."

Turning around, Halle as Giacinta "Jinx" Johnson replied: "It is, isn't it? Too bad it's lost on everybody else."

In the caption, Halle shared a lovely tribute to Pierce as she wrote: "….it’s been 20 years. Pierce Brosnan forever my BOND!"

She also shared the clip to her Instagram Stories.

Fans have gone crazy for the throwback video, with one person writing: "20 years and you still look Incredible!!"

Another commented: "Halle, girl, that walk out of the water was EVERYTHING!!!! YASS!"

"There have some amazing women in the 007 movies. But you are the best Bond girl. Beautiful," penned a third. Someone else added: "One of the best moments in the BOND franchise ever."

Die Another Day almost wasn't the end for Halle's character Jinx.

The actress had reportedly been in talks with the film's producer Barbara Broccoli about creating a spin-off series for the heroine, but plans were cancelled when the studio withdrew the budget for production.

"It was very disappointing. It was ahead of its time.

"Nobody was ready to sink that kind of money into a Black female action star. They just weren't sure of its value," Halle said in an interview with Variety.

Pierce recently shared his delight on social media after becoming a grandfather for the fourth time, something he hailed a "blessing".

The Golden Eye actor announced the birth of his fourth "dearest" grandchild on Instagram after revealing his son Sean and daughter-in-law Sanja Banic welcomed their second child.

He posted a snap of the couple's new baby boy Jaxxon and penned a heartfelt message to his "darling" family.

Pierce wrote: "Jaxxon Elijah Brosnan, born 3:06pm 11/12/22… all good blessings to you my dearest grandson, welcome. Congratulations my darling Sean, Sanja and Marley. Peace be with you."
