I always liked Natasha Henstridge. She was absolutely staggeringly distracting in Whole Nine Yards (My all time favourite comedy) and wasnt that bad in SheSpies, though the show itself wasnt so hot. Its a shame she hasnt been in more high profile movies.
Seems by merely being a ‘Bond Girl’ Contender, you’re guaranteed work elsewhere, even if you don’t get the role you’re gunning for. A chance to play the latest 007 squeeze seems to have worked for Henstridge, in a roundabout way.
The leggy fox – who would still be slumming it in “Species” sequels and “She Spies”, if not for the audition – was up for the role of Vesper Lynd in “Casino Royale”, and though about ten other girls were probably on the list above her, the mere association with the film seems to have resurrected the former model cum actresses career.
…
Hugh Jackman’s SEED productions will be writing Henstridge’s cheques for the next few months, as she films a role in the actor/producer’s new film, “The Tourist” opposite Wolverine himself; Ewan McGregor and Michelle Williams.According to Page Six, Henstridge and Jackman were spotted filming scenes at The Dylan Hotel in New York. Being that the film’s a sexual thriller, we can only assume why and how a hotel room was being used.
So getting your name attached to rumours of a blockbuster you likely wont be in will get you a comeback? Is Henstridge pulling a Hasselhoff? Or is she just trying out for bigger roles and not getting them?
Here is hoping we see more of this beauty in upcoming films.
