Olga Kurylenko unfazed by topless pictures

Actress Olga Kurylenko is unfazed that topless photos of her during her youth have surfaced – because they were taken “artistically”. A series of halfnaked snaps of the new Bond girl, 28, have emerged since she was cast in Quantum of Solace, but Kurylenko is not bothered by the photos, insisting they are not “unusual”.

She says, “There are no actresses who haven’t appeared naked. These things are not unusual. All the magazine pictures are artistic. I didn’t do any pornography. It was all done in silhouette. It was advertising stuff. It’s something I have done but it’s not what I enjoy doing. It was part of the job. I haven’t been modelling for a few years now. I don’t have to. Movies are my passion. I always have respect towards people and I do everything with love and respect.There are much graver things in the world to worry about.” Like getting married, perhaps? The new Bond girl d o e s n o t ruled out marriage in the future – despite having two divorces behind her at the age of 28. The Ukrainian actress split from photographer Cedric Van Mol in 2003, after four years of marriage. She went on to marry businessman Damian Gabrielle in 2006, but they divorced just one year later.

But Kurylenko insists she is open to getting married once again if she finds the right person. She says, “I have not been scarred by my two divorces. The important thing is that I loved them – and you cannot regret loving. I am glad to have spent a part of my life with my two ex-husbands. If I had to go back I would do it again. My divorces were not a sad experience. It’s just communication. People who surround us in our life exchange more and more experiences with us. I learned I had differences from them and they were different people from me. My ex-husbands were different nationalities but were both very interesting people. I don’t see divorce as a failure. I see it as the end to a story.”
