In 2002 David was chosen to be "Mr Kil’s Personal Assistant & Jinx’s Personal Driver" in the Bond film ‘Die Another Day’. This was Bond’s 20th adventure and celebrated 40 years of unparalleled cinematic success.
David was fortunate enough to spend most of his time in a new 007 Ford Thunderbird chatting with Halle Berry (NSA agent Jinx Johnson). He was even luckier to work with a fantastic man and actor Lawrence Makoare (Mr Kil) who always kept everyones’ spirits up on set and he even had some great stories to tell about the making of ‘The Lord Of The Rings’ in which he starred. David also got to work with his favourite James Bond actor ‘Pierce Brosnan’.

David got to spend a lot of time with Halle Berry as her Personal Driver in the film. The scene was being filmed during a very hot April but luckily enough Halle and David could hide in their fully loaded air conditioned 007 Ford Thunderbird. Halle was cooler as she was wearing a 007 stylish summer Bond girl outfit which was designed by Lindy Hemming (a fabulous movie costume designer). Unfortunately David was fully fitted with professional winter snow gear.

The sun glasses David is wearing were his own and he still owns them today! ‘‘It was so bright on set with the all white Ice Palace and snow, I had to wear the glasses to see what I was doing otherwise I would have looked like Mr. Magoo squinting all the time’’

David even made it into the Official Limited Edition 007 Ford Thunderbird commercial.
