“Bond” star Naomie Harris spoke in an interview about a “big star” groping her during an audition.
Oscar-nominated actress Naomie Harris, 45, spoke about her experience of sexual harassment. She remembered an incident in which she was groped by a well-known star. In an interview with “You” magazine of “The Mail on Sunday” she said, “a very big star” put his hand under her skirt during an audition.
“The shocking thing was that the casting director was there and the director and of course no one said anything because he was such a big star. That was my only #MeToo incident so I was very lucky considering how widespread this behavior was. “
The “James Bond” movie star added that things have definitely changed: she was on a project that had a #MeToo incident. The perpetrator was released immediately without hesitation, she said. She did not mention names in the interview.
Not only known from “Bond” films
Harris played the character of Moneypenny in the last three “James Bond” films. In 2017 the British actress, who also appeared in “Pirates of the Caribbean” films, was nominated for an Oscar for her role in “Moonlight”.
