On this week's episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon: Home Edition, Halle Berry opened up about a rather scary moment from the set of 2002's Die Another Day, where she literally almost died if not for Pierce Brosnan.
James Bond saved her life!
While filming a scene 2002's Die Another Day, where she was meant to be seducing James Bond, played by Pierce Brosnan, she started choking instead.
"You broke like three ribs if I'm not mistaken," Jimmy said about a scene from Halle's most recent film.
"I always get hurt. But I realize that when you go hard, you're bound to get hurt."
"And in this movie, I was fighting the real UFC flyweight champion, Valentina Shevchenko," she explained.
"And I had to really take them, and that really broke some bones," she said, laughing.
"But I couldn't have asked for a better teacher, a better scene made, a better fight partner. Like, she just brought so much reality to it".
She revealed that even the referee on-set (who is also a referee in real life) said that he felt like he was watching a real fight.
Halle mentioned that although this didn't happen while filming a stunt, it was equally as embarrassing.
"In Die Another Day, and I was supposed to be all sexy and like, seduce him with a fig," she explained.
"And then I ended up choking on it," she said laughing. "And then he had to get up do the Heimlich."
"So not sexy. So not sexy," she said. "You should have seen it."
She explained that because of that scary and embarrassing moment they shared, he will always be important to her.
"James Bond knows how to Heimlich. He was there for me, and he will always be one of my favorite people in the whole world," she said.
Luckily he was around when Halle started choking on that fig!
