Bond girl, 59, looks like she’s ageing backwards on the red carpet 29 years after co-starring with Pierce Brosnan as 007

A GLAM Bond girl appears to be ageing backwards – cutting a strikingly similar look despite starring alongside Pierce Brosnan’s character almost three decades ago.

The Dutch actress, now 59, also starred in X Men, Taken, Taken 2 and Locked In at the height of her fame.

Famke Janssen – known for her raven-coloured locks and slender figure – looked sensational in a cream mini dress adorned with silver sequins in New York City this week.

She flashed a youthful glow as she stepped out at the Boy Kills World premiere in her summery attire, finished off with white socks and heeled sandals.

The Postcard Killings star looked almost identical to her iconic Goldeneye character back in 1995.

Famke played fighter pilot and assassin Xenia Onatopp, who crushed her enemies with her thighs.

During her Bond girl role, she often wore her dark locks in an up-do, finishing her glam look with a slick of red lipstick.

The star, who has also featured in Netflix series Hemlock Grove and ABC’s How To Get Away With Murder, looks almost identical in the current day.

Goldeneye gripe

Yet despite the huge fame, Famke has told how she felt “misunderstood” following her Bond Girl role.

She told the Independent she “felt like I was thrown to the wolves” and “had to deal with the stereotype of” being a Bond girl.

She candidly added to the publication: “I feel incredibly misunderstood at times.

Known for their saucy names and even saucier outfits, but Bond girls are just as legendary as 007 himself.

“It’s the dichotomy between the way I look and what is happening inside.

“But that comes with being in a Bond movie and playing this crazy assassin.

“All of my friends and family know that I’m goofy and sensitive and that I play these characters who are so different from that.

“Other people probably think I’m just playing myself.”

“I feel incredibly misunderstood at times. It’s the dichotomy between the way I look and what is happening inside

We previously reported how the actress looked unrecignisable in BBC show The Capture.

She played Jessica Mallory in the BBC drama, a no-nonsense character part of a wider, mysterious conspiracy.

Meanwhile, she is earning her stripes behind the camera too.

Famke made her debut as a director in 2011 in Bringing Up Bobby.

Timeline of James Bond actors

Over the years there have been seven actors who have played 007.

The first ever James Bond film was in 1962, and this is who has played the lead role over the years:

  • Sean Connery – The late star was the first ever actor to play Bond, and reprised the role for seven movies.
  • George Lazenby – The star only played Bond once, but was the youngest actor to ever play the spy.
  • Roger Moore – The late movie star spent 12 years making seven films in the famous franchise.
  • Timothy Dalton – The smooth actor took over from Roger Moore and appeared in The Living Daylights and Licence to Kill.
  • Pierce Brosnan – The handsome star played Bond for four movies from 1995 to 2002.
  • Daniel Craig – The British star was the first blonde James Bond and the sixth actor to win the role in 2005.

Meanwhile, in a bizarre recent twist, fans also claimed to have spotted the face of former US President Donald Trump in Famke’s knee.

It came as the UN Goodwill Ambassador was spotted shopping with a pal in New York City.
