Then a friend said, ‘Caterina, you’ll go down in cinema history as the Bond girl who rode a horse in a bikini.’“So I decided to have a go, I started training and I loved it. Now I ride a horse every week!”The 32-year-old brunette admits she worried that becoming a Bond girl could ruin her career. She said: “The kiss of Bond is very deadly. You have to be careful.
