'Scary' Bond Girl Rosamund Pike

Rosamund Pike thinks people became scared of her after 'Die Another Day'.

The British actress - who played villainess Miranda Frost in the 2002 James Bond film - believes people are frightened of her since she played the confident and sexy MI6 double agent in the spy film franchise.

She said: "Being a Bond girl was scary, wonderful and life-changing. I felt completely out of my depth doing 'Die Another Day'. I was quaking in my boots on that set. Looking back, I'm incredibly proud to have been a Bond girl. But I think it made other people scared of me."

The 30-year-old beauty understands the role made her appear "unpleasant" but she is keen to reassure people she is nothing like the "supremely confident" character in real life.

She explained to Britain's Mail on Sunday: "Unwittingly I created this image for myself of someone who was supremely confident and completely unapproachable, even quite unpleasant. But that was the character, not me."
