Halle Berry makes candid confession about Pierce Brosnan – what would his wife Keely say?

Halle Berry has starred alongside some of the most famous men in Hollywood – but there's one she'll never forget.

The Union actress, 58, made her James Bond debut in 2002's Die Another Day opposite Pierce Brosnan , and she walked away with more than just being a part of "cinematic history".

"He will always be my Bond, always," Halle told Wired of Pierce, who played 007 for seven years. "I'm a Pierce Brosnan fan."

Halle even went as far as to pay Pierce one of the greatest compliments, adding: "He restored my faith in men on that movie. There couldn't be a human who is more of a gentleman than Pierce Brosnan."

While Halle confessed that being in a James Bond movie wasn't on her "wishlist", she is "honored" she shared the moment with Pierce.

"Bond wasn't on my wishlist," she shared. "But I loved the movies always. Having been in one, I feel like I'm a part of cinematic history."
