    AceShowbiz – Pierce Brosnan stopped James Bond co-star Halle Berry from choking while the pair were filming 2002 movie “Die Another Day”.
    The actress, who played Jinx opposite Brosnan’s 007, told “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on Tuesday (April 21) that the actor saved her life after she got a fig caught in her throat.
    “I was supposed to be all sexy, trying to seduce him with a fig, and then I end up choking on it and he had to get up and do the Heimlich,” the 53-year-old recalled. “That was so not sexy.”
    The Heimlich manoeuvre is a first-aid procedure for dislodging an obstruction from a person’s windpipe by applying sudden pressure to the abdomen between the belly button and rib cage.
    She continued: “James Bond knows how to Heimlich! He was there for me, he will always be one of my favourite people in the whole world.”
    It wasn’t the only terrifying experience Berry had on set – the actress suffered an injury during an action sequence in Cadiz, Spain, when debris from a smoke grenade stunt lodged in her left eye.

      Pierce Brosnan Recalls Meeting Drunk Quentin Tarantino Over Bond Movie Pitch

      The ‘GoldenEye’ actor spills on the encounter story he had with the ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’ director during a live video interview that accompanied an online viewing party for his 1995 Bond film.
      Apr 21, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Pierce Brosnan was once pitched a James Bond movie by Quentin Tarantino when both stars were drunk.
      Pierce last played 007 in 2002’s “Die Another Day” and the “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” filmmaker told the Brit he had a great idea for the next film in the series, which he hoped to direct.
      “He wanted to meet me, so I went up to Hollywood one day from the beach, and I met him at the Four Seasons (hotel),” Pierce told U.K. Esquire in a live video interview that accompanied an online viewing party for his 1995 Bond film “GoldenEye” on Sunday, April 19.
      “I got there at 7pm; I like to be punctual,” Brosnan said. “7.15 came around. No Quentin. He was upstairs doing press. Someone sent over a martini, so I had a martini, and I waited till 7.30, and I thought, ‘Where the heck is he?’ Word came down, apologies, so I thought, ‘OK, I’ll have another martini’.”
      By the time Tarantino appeared for the meeting, Brosnan admitted he was “fairly smokered (drunk)” and shared that Tarantino quickly caught up with some cocktails.
      “He was pounding the table, saying, ‘You’re the best James Bond, I wanna do James Bond’,” Brosnan recalled, “and it was very close quarters in the restaurant and I thought, ‘Please calm down’, but we don’t tell Quentin Tarantino to calm down.”
      Pierce didn’t reveal any details of the pitch, although he did mention it to his Bond bosses, who weren’t keen on the idea. But the actor still wonders how the potential project might have turned out.
      “That would be a good one to watch,” he laughed.
