"And I thought, 'Well, no, I'll be doing that if I get the part. I won't be doing that now.' I don't know what possessed me." Despite the disagreement, Pike went on to star alongside Pierce Brosnan in "Die Another Day." In the film, Pike's Miranda Frost, a Harvard grad and Olympic fencer, disguises herself as a fellow member of MI6, only to later be revealed as a double agent. In the movie's climax, she is taken out by another iconic Bond girl, Jinx Johnson, played by Halle Berry. In a separate interview with David Tennant on his "David Tennant Does a Podcast with," she recalled an awkward moment while filming an intimate scene opposite Brosnan. "We have this clinch, and then we separate, and I look at this body tape and the nipple covers and they're covered in hair," Pike recalled. "And I think, 'Oh my God, I'm waxing Pierce's chest.'" She continued, "I was so mortified. I thought, 'Oh my God, he's so brave, and I'm pulling off his chest hair with every embrace.' And of course, it took a couple of takes to realize it was not him. It was the fake fur of the rugs adorning the swan bed. I literally thought I was waxing the poor man's chest."
