"I am honored to be a Bond girl and be a part of the Bond legacy, To star in a video game with Connery, the original Bond, is incredible"
About this Quote
The smart pivot is where she places the awe: not the game, but Connery. "The original Bond" functions like a stamp of authenticity, a way to launder a newer medium through an old icon. Video games, especially in the mid-2000s celebrity-voice era, were still fighting for legitimacy in mainstream entertainment. Tethering the project to Sean Connery reframes it as an extension of cinema history rather than a spinoff product.
There’s also a subtle career calculus. Menounos is positioning herself as adjacent to a canon, not just a gig. "Bond legacy" and "incredible" read like standard promo language, but the subtext is aspirational: she’s not merely acting; she’s entering a club with a global brand, one that promises permanence in an industry built on churn. The line sells excitement, but it’s really about belonging - to an IP, to a fantasy, to a lineage that turns participation into proof of arrival.
