Pierce Brosnan said he 'vaguely' remembers saving Halle Berry from choking on the set of Die Another Day.
The Oscar-winning actress said the former James Bond, 67, performed the Heimlich manoeuvre on her when she started choking in the middle of a love scene.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Brosnan admitted he was 'not sure' what happened during filming for the 2002 action movie.
Hero: Pierce Brosnan stopped Halle Berry from choking on a fig while filming Die Another Day by performing the Heimlich manoeuvre
He said: 'I vaguely remember it, I've seen little quotes in the press recently. We were on the set, I'm not quite sure what I did, I might have Heimliched her, I'm not sure.'
A laughing Brosnan added: 'I just patted her on the back.'
Berry, 53, had told Fallon in April that Brosnan came to the rescue when a fig got stuck in her throat.

She said: 'I was supposed to be all sexy, trying to seduce him with a fig. I end up choking on it and he had to get up and do the Heimlich. So not sexy.'
She added: 'James Bond knows how to Heimlich! He was there for me, he will always be one of my favourite people in the whole world.'
Die Another Day was Brosnan's final outing as Bond.

And it wasn't the only scary moment for Halle while filming Die Another Day.
The actress suffered an injury during an action sequence in Cadiz, Spain, when debris from a smoke grenade stunt lodged in her left eye.
According to EW.com at the time, she was transported to a local hospital where doctors removed the piece of shrapnel from her cornea.
She was soon back at work after suffering an inflamed eye.
Die Another Day was also famous for Halle's recreation of the celebrated scene in Dr. No where Ursula Andress emerged from the ocean dripping in water.
