David spent much of his time in a new 007 Ford Thunderbird chatting with Halle Berry (NSA agent Jinx Johnson). He was also fortunate to work with a fantastic man and actor Lawrence Makoare (Mr Kil) who always kept everyones’ spirits up on set and had some great stories to tell about the making of ‘The Lord Of The Rings’ in which he starred.

Scene from Die Another Day: Mr Kil takes Bonds Samsonite Xylem Case from his Personal Assistant (David Decio) and then gives orders to him as James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) enters the Ice Palace for the first time.

David got to spend a lot of time with Halle Berry as her Personal Driver in the film. The scene was being filmed during a very hot April but luckily enough Halle and David could hide in their fully loaded air conditioned 007 Ford Thunderbird. Halle was cooler as she was wearing a 007 stylish summer Bond girl outfit which was designed by Lindy Hemming (a fabulous movie costume designer). Unfortunately David was fully fitted with professional winter snow gear.

The sun glasses David is wearing were his own and he still owns them today! ‘‘It was so bright on set with the all white Ice Palace and snow, I had to wear the glasses to see what I was doing otherwise I would have looked like Mr. Magoo squinting all the time’’

David was also featured in the Official Limited Edition 007 Ford Thunderbird commercial.
