"At the time, it was not important because I had already made a lot of films, Bond was just something I wanted to do, I liked the idea of getting out of the sea like Ursula Andess, and To be a woman of action-in the 60s we just played sex kittens, "she said. ""

Ekland continued: "I did not know that it would be so big, but in the past 10 to 15 years, it has been super important, because I do [the theater], and it is" Britt Ekland - Bond Girl "And it's just a label it's great today."

In a new interview with PA Media ( via Metro ), Ekland said that if women in more recent binding films were in better position, she thinks that girls from the past were having fun more.

"There are no more bond girls, they are liaison women today. They have it with politically correct and #MeToo, they have a much better time than us," said the woman of 80 years old. "But I don't think the final product is as fun as ours, because we were pretty and we had good bodies and we did not try to look sexy, we were right. ""

She continued: "Today, everything is so:" Don't do that because it will upset this side. "We had none of this. We just went there, we were always in a bikini and all these people are completely dressed, very typical, but it was a job and we did it. So,, I think today that the women of Bond do it - from a point of view of political accuracy - in a much better position. But I think we had more fun. "

No one would claim that beauty is no longer a factor in the cinema trade, but Bond girls were more slightly dressed in the past than in the most recent films in the franchise. Ekland thought about this in the same interview and said that she felt that she had been hired, in part, because of her breasts.

"We all get along very well," said Ekland about distribution and crew The man with the golden pistol . [Producer] Cubby broccoli was very friendly and funny and insisted on the fact that we must all have a meal together - spaghetti, Italian meal every weekend. "But she added:" He invited the cast and the crew and he wanted me to eat a lot because he felt that I was a little too thin. Of course, he had seen The wicker man And he said: "Oh, beautiful madmen, we will take it", then I arrive on the set with the baby [his son, Nic Adler , with Lou adler ] And no crazy then he said, "You have to eat more". I try not to eat because I had to be in bikini all the time, so we were two forces. ""

Ekland has declared in the past that his appearance has led him to undergo plastic surgery later in life, What she regrets .

Ekland was interviewed for the 50th anniversary of The wicker man , in which she played. While speaking of the horror film, the Swedish actor gave his opinion on the intimacy coordinators, which are a relatively new presence on the sets. These people help the actors during the sexual scenes, ensure that they are comfortable and collaborate with the director and other teams.

"We certainly did not have what they have today, at least in America, an intimacy coach, and it is someone who, I think, is in the room when you make scenes of nature sexual, "she said. "We had nothing, we just had to do and he was not filmed in a studio, he was filmed in real rooms and buildings. There was no regulation at the time. This is why the #MeToo movement has taken everyone by such a surprise ... It has been going on for a long time. "

During an appearance in 2021 in the British talk show Cowardly women , Ekland said that No time to die has changed your mind on What a liaison girl should be .

"I have always argued that it must be a" liaison girl ". But I changed my mind, "she said." Last night [at the first], the women of Bond were just that. And they were all so incredible. They were fast, fast. They were great actresses. They were very physical. They never showed their bodies. And it was not accountable. They were simply liaison women. ""

But, when we asked Ekland if the main character of Bond could be played by a woman, she shook her head and said: "Absolutely not".

"It's written as a man," she said. "It is a British institution, a British male institution. You cannot change this. It is not necessary to change it. There are a lot of roles for a woman to be physical, but the link must be leap . "
