I'm pretty sure she's said this before and I think someone else from around the same time (maybe Rosamund Pike?) also said she regrets playing a Bond girl

I’ve only seen casino royale for Eva green and it was good and the least misogynistic of the franchise afaik. I have no interest in these dumb films otherwise.

You know there are shades of misogyny right. It doesn’t need to be as obvious as showing up to have sex with the male lead, be sacrificed for him and then killed in a sexually degrading manner?

Its hard to get big roles so shocker she took what she could get.

Isn't she British? The student loan excuse feels like a bit.... We don't have crazy interest rate and race to pay it back like Americans - especially not at 21.

How much is education in England?

I'm Canadian and I graduated with $28k in debt. It's not awful but if I could've played a bond girl and paid it off in 1 go, I would not have said no.

Criticism
From who?

Who is sitting around discussing Gemma's career?

[parachuteending]

LOL probably randos who write on her feminist IG posts "weren't you a James Bond girl tho?"
