GoldenSigh
Famke Janssen is the latest in a long line of women who've revealed starring in a Bond film isn't all it's cracked up to be. The Dutch actor appeared as the fan-favourite character Colonel Xenia Zaragevna Onatopp in the fan-favourite film GoldenEye.
"The Bond movie dictated a lot of my relationship with the press", she said
"Honestly, after GoldenEye, I felt like I was thrown to the wolves. It was just an onslaught of attention, good and bad and everything in between. I realise every actor in the world thinks they can control the press, but ultimately the press always wins.
I decided I'd rather be less famous and do things on my terms. That means I don't make as much money as other people do, and I don't date famous people. I'm not on social media, but fame comes at a price, and it wasn't one that I was willing to pay.
