10 Weirdest Cameos In James Bond Movies

10. Madonna – Die Another Day

Die Another Day remains to this day as James Bond’s silliest and most overblown adventure; full of double-entendres, crazy action scenes and an atmosphere of pure camp as Bond fights to prevent World War III by stopping a British Millionaire with connections to North Korea, as well as a villain whose face is literally embedded with diamonds.

Not content with only writing and performing the theme tune to Die Another Day; American pop icon Madonna Ciccone stars alongside Pierce Brosnan’s James Bond in a single scene as Verity, the fencing tutor of the villainous Miranda Frost.

Albeit Madonna is certainly more of a singer than an actress - her line delivery in this one scene is incredibly sub-par, especially when twinned with a very wonky, very fake British accent - she gets to share a double-entendre back and forth with James, have him tie up the loose knot in the back of her outfit in a mock seductive manner, and introduce him to Miranda Frost and main villain Gustav Graves.

What makes Madonna’s cameo in Die Another Day so peculiar is not the fact that she is a popular singer acting in a James Bond, as Grace Jones from 1985’s A View To A Kill also has that distinction, but it marks the first and only time that the performer of a Bond theme also appears in the film itself, no other Bond film has that distinction.
