After decades of rescuing Bond girls, 007 has finally met his match in feisty Camille in the upcoming movie Quantum Of Solace.

In the clip, former model Olga, 28, described the months of rigorous training she had to go through before filming even began and how she overcame her fears to perform death-defying stunts.

Fans can even catch a glimpse of a Camille and Bond's dramatic boat chase in Bolivia.

In the film, Olga plays Camille, a beautiful Russian-Bolivian agent who has her own vendetta against Bond baddie Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric).

Producers described her character as 'someone who challenges Bond and helps him come to terms with the emotional consequences of Vesper Lynd's betrayal'.

Director Marc Foster said: 'The role of the Bond girl has changed over the years. This particular movie, the Bond girls are almost a counterpart to Bond himself.'

In the action-packed film, Olga participates in a dramatic boat chase, a parachute jump, driving a speeding car and becomes embroiled in fight scenes.

Olga admitted she was overwhelmed when director Marc Foster would first describe an action scene, but managed to overcome her fears to participate in the stuns.

She said: 'It always started with me saying, "No way, I can’t do it," and I end up doing it.

'Daniel helped me overcome my fear. After each take he would ask me, "Are you OK, are you OK?"

'In my life I would never have to do something like that (boat chase) and I’m very proud of myself.'
