Naomie Harris Thanks Boyle For Career

Naomie Harris has thanked director Danny Boyle for kick starting her career.

The Oscar winning filmmaker cast Harris as Selena in his 2002 movie 28 Days Later - which went on to have huge critical and commercial success.

Since then Harris has gone on to star in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and At World's End as Tia Dalma as well as Miami Vice and My Last Five Girlfriends

Speaking to Digital Spy the actress said: "He's so amazing in terms of how much he's doing, I know he's squeezing in a film before [he directs the Olympics opening ceremony], he just does so much and works so hard.

"He's the reason, really, that I have the career that I've had because he took a risk on me and gave me Selena in 28 Days Later.

"[He] really started my career for me, I'm very grateful to Danny Boyle."

The actress is rumoured to be in talks of the new James Bond movie - which would see her work alongside Daniel Craig and director Sam Mendes.
