Brace yourselves: you are about to become very familiar with Stephanie Sigman. In the coming months, you are going to see this Mexican beauty in the arms of two very dangerous, very famous men. The first is infamous drug baron Pablo Escobar.
The second? None other than Bond, James Bond, himself.

Or, to be more specific, Wagner Moura and Daniel Craig – the actors who play these men in, respectively, Netflix’s Narcos, the tale of Escobar’s trafficking enterprise, and Spectre, the new Bond flick.

In both these projects,the moment Sigman sashays on-screen she just about steals the show.Despite some serious, secret agent- worthy interrogation from marie claire, the 28-year-old is tight-lipped on the question of the Bond plot (there are “MI6 levels of secrecy” around the film, she quips). But what she can talk about is her chemistry, both with Craig – “My favourite [Bond],” she gushes – and with Moura.

In Narcos, Sigman plays Valeria Velez, Escobar’s long-term mistress, who wields her sexuality like a weapon. The deliciously dark series is already slated for a second season.

Sigman’s fate as a Bond girl is less assured (the body count in the Craig-era films in the franchise is 93 and counting). But she doesn’t mind if her name becomes synonymous with the term “Bond Girl”.“If these are my problems right now,” she says, “that’s fine with me.”

Narcos is streaming on Netflix now. Spectre is in cinemas on November 12.
