Christina Hendricks JAMES BOND Girl ’97

Think you know Mad Men actress Christina Hendricks? Think again, because today’s fun and nostalgic video may teach you a thing or two you didn’t know about the star. For instance, does Hendrick have a link to Bond, James Bond? She sure does!

This video is sure to make its way around the interwebs this week. Why? Well, it reveals a secret side Christian Hendricks. The lovely lady has enjoyed some diverse roles through her career. She was a bad girl in Drive, opposite Ryan Gosling, and she got her science fiction on for Firefly. Both roles are a far cry from the glamor of the Mad Men set. But in today’s video we see why Hendricks should be considered as a Bond Girl in the future.

The year was 1997. Daniel Craig was not James Bond, but actor Pierce Brosnan was. He was dashing, too, believe me. Of course Craig is grittier, and that’s sexy, too. The commercial for Visa Card saw Brosnan in the character of Bond and who is that with him? Yep, its Christina Hendricks. She even does a British accent.

23-year old Bérénice Marlohe may be the main Bond Girl in the as of yet unnamed Bond 23, spicing it up with Daniel Craig, but we believe this old commercial is reason enough that Hendricks should appear in the next 007, too. What are your thoughts?
