Skyfall adds another Bond girl
Greek model/actress Tonia Sotiropoulou is the new Bond Girl in the upcoming 007 movie Skyfall.

The Greek actress broke the news via Facebook, revealing that she had landed a role in Bond's 23rd outing.

Her character, the name of which is not yet known, was not her first choice though.

Tonia previously auditioned for the part of Severine, which is now to be played by Berenice Marlohe.

Sotiropoulou, who has previously only appeared in minor TV series nowhere near the scale of the Bond franchise, said that getting the call from Skyfall's bosses was 'the happiest day of my life'.

She told Greek press: 'I feel very lucky and blessed, but basically, I am very grateful that this happened, for my family and my friends who believe in me and support trying to do.

'I will do the best, I am very proud because somehow it might be something that will advertise in Greece and I am happy about it.'

According to unofficial fan site MI6-HQ, she will film scenes over five days in Istanbul and will make her mark in the opening scene of the movie in which Bond is smuggled into the country after being believed to be dead.
