Former Bond Girl Denise Richards Opens Up About ‘Flack’ Towards Her 007 Character, And How She Looks At The Experience Almost 25 Years Later

Quite frequently, casting choices in the realm of James Bond movies have come under intense scrutiny. More often than not, those gripes will be aimed at whoever is cast as the new 007, as seen in the case of Daniel Craig’s casting in 2005. But not too long before that huge debacle, there was the case of Denise Richards and her casting as one of "The World is Not Enough’s" Bond Girls. Almost 25 years after that film’s release, the actor has opened up on the "flack" she got for playing the role, as well as how she looks at the experience in hindsight.

Making an appearance on the Spyhards Podcast, Richards and her nuclear physicist character Dr. Christmas Jones were the subject at hand. While that subject isn’t exactly a fresh one for the "Starship Troopers" star, as Denise Richards had recently clapped back against such comments, she shared more details about the immediate fallout that came during the press tour and release of the 19th cinematic 007 adventure.
