Naomie Harris has recalled the shocking moment she was once groped by a "huge, huge star" during an audition.
The movie star - who played Miss Moneypenny in three James Bond films - said film executives, including the director, did nothing and sat back and watched her sexual harassment.
The 45-year-old did not name the actor but recalled he slid his hand up her skirt as she read for a part.
The actress upsettingly said that she felt "very lucky" to only face one incident of this kind with how prevalent sexual abuse is in the industry.
The actress recalled the incident, in which she said an actor - who she has not named - slid his hand up her skirt as she read for a part.
Speaking to the Mail On Sunday's You magazine, Harris recalled: "What was so shocking about it was the casting director was there and the director, and of course no one said anything because he was — he is — such a huge star."
"That was my only #MeToo incident, so I felt very lucky, given how rife that behavior was," she added.
Harris said things had since "changed", adding that she had worked on a project where there was an "incident" and there was no "hesitation" with the perpetrator being "immediately" removed.
The actress is currently reprising her role of Eve Moneypenny on her third Bond movie, No Time To Die, and is sharing the screen with Tom Hardy in Venom: Let There Be Carnage.
The 45-year-old got her big break in Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later in 2002, and then went on to star in two Pirates Of The Caribbean films in 2006 and 2007.
She has also played Miss Moneypenny in the Bond franchise since 2012, and won an Oscar nomination for playing a crack addict in Moonlight in 2017.
The star revealed that it felt "amazing" to walk the red carpet for the premiere of No Time To Die earlier this autumn after what's been a "pretty s*** two years".
Elsewhere in the interview, she added said: "I’m open to what life offers me, especially if I’m out with friends. But mostly I go to bed early because I love to get up at 5.30 AM and have that special morning time to myself, where I get loads done before anyone else is up."
