Olga Kurylenko: 'Bond wasn't my goal. It just happened'

Actor News - 25-02-13

The Ukranian star of "Quantum of Solace" recently reflected on her career and her brush with Bond in an interview with Metro.

Although, in contrast to Berenice Marlohe's well-documented campaign to become a Bond girl, Kurylenko says that becoming a Bond girl wasn't a big dream, she does admit that she was keen to make the move from modelling to acting as quickly as possible:

‘With modelling, you go somewhere for 24 hours and you don’t even see the city, you don’t talk to people or see the culture. I didn’t keep any friends, because you can’t make friends. It’s very difficult. Also, apart from work, they all hang out in modelling crowds and parties. I never did. I didn’t feel I belonged there.’

She's becoming a recognised face in Hollywood, but despite this, Kurylenko prefers to make her life outside of America. "When I’m in America, I feel like I’m so far away from my roots, and here I don’t – I’m European. Just walking on the street in London makes you feel like everything has a meaning," she says of London, her new adopted home.
