Bond girl Olga Kurylenko has taken over the Campari mantle from Hollywood star Jessica Alba as she became the latest in the line of beauties to endorse the liquor brand. The 29-year-old Ukrainian actress has been chosen as the drink`s latest calendar girl, taking on a role previously held by A-listers including Jessica Alba, Salma Hayek and Eva Mendes to name but a few.
The `Quantum of Solace` star shot the Italian brand`s 11th calendar, dubbed `Campari Milano` in Milan, reported Daily Mail online.
“Olga was a natural choice. She has great charm, grace, elegance and sensuality that represents the perfect incarnation of the Campari brand,” said Campari chief executive Bob Kunze-Concewitz.
In the retro-themed shoot the actress who came to international prominence playing femme fatale Camille opposite Daniel Craig, poses confidently clutching a bottle of Campari in an old train carriage while onlookers gawp at her through the windows.
“It was a truly unique experience. I was delighted and intrigued by Campari’s proposal, to play the Campari woman and interpret the essence of Red Passion,” said Kurylenko.
