In case you missed the TV advert takeover - James Bond is back and there's a new breed of Bond girl in town, Moneypenny AKA Naomie Harris.

Not your usual arm-candy, she's a former agent and she's got some serious moves.

You just have to see her in Sony’s ‘Made for Bond’ campaign featuring Bond-esque technology - Sony RX100 IV camera and Xperia Z5 smartphone - to catch sight of her fitness prowess.

So, we caught up with her to pick her brain on what went into building her Bond body… turns out she had it already.

- FITNESS -

She explained: 'With the Made for Bond campaign it is a lot of action and a lot of running around.

'Generally you have to be fit as an actor because you just never know what you’re going to be required to do.

'So, I swim and I also practice gyrotonic – gyrotonic is a mixture of yoga, reformer pilates and tai chi.'

With a martial arts slant to her regular exercise, it's no surprise that she took to the combat scenes with ease. That said, it doesn't sound particularly easy…

'With Bond I had two months before we started filming and even then throughout the filming I was given a personal trainer who took me out five days a week doing kickboxing, circuit training, stunt training including driving and working with weapons.

'So that kind of thing – it’s in your body and you remember it.

'You have to be very agile as well, swinging bags at people, fighting off the baddies and so on – to make it look believable yes you’ve got to be fit.'

If you're starting to feel intimidated, she did assure us 'for the more dangerous things like jumping off roofs, I left that to the professionals.'

- FOOD -

When it comes to fuel, Naomie's not afraid to eat but if you're looking for sweet treats in her cupboards you'll be disappointed.

She steers clear of sugar, caffeine and alcohol and even breakfasts in a rather unconventional way.

Namoie told us: 'I have a massive breakfast. I have the weirdest breakfast ever, everyone is always really weirded out by my breakfast.

'Basically I don’t see any difference between breakfast and lunch. So I will have the same for lunch as I’d have for breakfast - I’ve had Shepherd’s pie in the morning. Or sometimes fried fish and vegetables.

'I thought I was a freak because everyone said, "you’re really weird", but then I went to Jamaica and it’s exactly the same.

'They have fried fish and plantain and callaloo and stews in the morning, and that’s normal. So it’s basically my roots! It’s in my genes.'

2014: Gorgeous Lady of the Week — Naomie Harris - mansfinelife.com

Gorgeous Lady of the Week — Naomie Harris

After a long period of establishing herself as a versatile and talented actress in big movies,Naomie Harris rocketed to worldwide fame with a bullet. Literally. As James Bond’s support agent in the field, she is responsible for taking the shot on M’s orders to stop a terrorist entangled with Bond on a speeding train. Instead she hits Bond and derails his life sending the world’s favorite secret agent into injury-induced existential crisis. Such is the beginning of 2012’s dark and biographical 007 blockbuster Skyfall. And only at the end of the film do we discover that Ms. Harris’ sexy and capable character is, in fact, Eve Moneypenny, now quitting the field and destined for a lifetime of desk work and double entendres. Now that is how you become a big time movie star.

The daughter of Caribbean immigrants in London, Naomie’s mother was a scriptwriter for the long-running BBC soap EastEnders and she caught the acting bug quite young, where she had success as a child actress. Her big break came in Danny Boyle’s excellent 2002 post-apocalyptic thriller 28 Days Later as Selena, one of the harried survivors of a horrible pandemic. After good roles alongside Colin Firth in Trauma and former Bond Pierce Brosnan in After the Sunset, Ms. Harris was tapped to play the mysterious and supernatural Tia Dalma for the 2nd and 3rd movies of the mega-budget Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, Dead Man’s Chest and At World’s End.

Then came her revelatory work in Skyfall, memorably making amends with Daniel Craig’s Bond in Macao but never succumbing to his legendary charms. And then, as if to prove that she was more than just a lithe and beautiful starlet, Ms. Harris did awards-worthy work as Winnie Mandela alongside Idris Elba in the respectful biopic, Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom.

It’s readily apparent from her now-long and accomplished resume that the 37-year-old beauty can not only act alongside today’s hottest leading men — from Depp to Craig —  but can also deftly hold her own with them under any circumstances. In a movie world often dominated by blond bombshells, the dark and lovely Naomi Harris stands out with playful sex appeal, acting chops and a sharp-edged sense of humor. She’s an unconventional original and a major talent and that’s something we absolutely can’t resist. In short, she’s an MFL kind of gal and she’s one of the many reasons we’re keenly anticipating Bond #24 and all her other future work still to come.
