Olga Kurylenko: "My Treasure Trove of Topless Photos Don't Count As Porn"

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

It used to be "become a Bond girl, end up doing softcore Hollywood porn later." Now, it seems getting that in order to get the attentions of 007's producers, you have to do a bunch of nude scenes or topless spreads in order to land the role of one the spy's femme fatales...

Since we're as excited as can be for Quantum of Solace, the followup to Casino Royale, we will find every excuse imaginable to talk about it. Even better when that excuse involves posting a series of nude photos and other career highlights from our second favorite* new Bond babe.

Speaking of these photos to IMDB News, Kurylenko says:

"There are no actresses who haven't appeared naked. These things are not unusual.

"All the magazine pictures are artistic. I didn't do any pornography. It was all done in silhouette. It was advertising stuff.

"It's something I have done but it's not what I enjoy doing. It was part of the job. I haven't been modelling for a few years now. I don't have to. Movies are my passion.

"I always have respect towards people and I do everything with love and respect. There are much graver things in the world to worry about."

No actresses who haven't appeared naked? In that case, Olga, please fill us in on where we might find Scarlett Johansson, Grace Kelly, and full frontal Kerry Washington photos...

*We still have our hearts set on Gemma Arterton, sorry.

when she says "all actresses" have appeared naked let's not forget she's european- nude or topless is a lot more common over there on tv, in advertising, even on the beach! (duh)
