Pierce Brosnan says he ‘vaguely’ remembers saving Halle Berry from choking
They starred together in 2002 James Bond film Die Another Day.
Pierce Brosnan said he “vaguely” remembers saving Halle Berry from choking on the set of Die Another Day.
Oscar-winning actress Berry said the former James Bond star performed the Heimlich manoeuvre on her when she started choking in the middle of a love scene.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Brosnan admitted he was “not sure” what happened during filming for the 2002 action movie.
He said: “I vaguely remember it, I’ve seen little quotes in the press recently. We were on the set, I’m not quite sure what I did, I might have Heimliched her, I’m not sure.”
A laughing Brosnan added: “I just patted her on the back.”
Berry, 53, had told Fallon in April that Brosnan came to the rescue when a fig got stuck in her throat.
She said: “I was supposed to be all sexy, trying to seduce him with a fig. I end up choking on it and he had to get up and do the Heimlich. So not sexy.”
Berry added: “James Bond knows how to Heimlich! He was there for me, he will always be one of my favourite people in the whole world.”
Die Another Day was 67-year-old Brosnan’s final outing as Bond.
