Bond girls then and now – where are James Bond’s sexy sirens from Halle Berry to Eva Green?
FROM Honey Ryder to Pussy Galore, Bond girls are as iconic as 007 himself.
Next month Daniel Craig's fifth outing as the suave secret agent, No Time To Die, finally hits the cinema - after almost two years of delays.
The new movie marks the return of Lea Seydoux, who first starred in the 2015 film Spectre as Dr Madeleine Swann, daughter of the mysterious Spectre boss Mr White.
The French actress, 36, made such an impression on bosses and fans she was asked to return for the sequel, which was delayed because of the global pandemic.
But what happened to rest of James Bond's numerous bedfellows.
Here, we look at what the stunning Bond girls did next.
