Grace Jones brought her own wardrobe to the set of 1995 movie Cyber Bandits.
The singer starred alongside Adam Ant and Spandau Ballet’s Martin Kemp in the flick, about a cyber-smuggler who holds the secret that could destroy the world.
While the flick, directed by USC graduate Erik Fleming, with Visual Effects by fellow graduate Steven Robiner, wasn’t a commercial hit, it’s built a strong cult following over the years.
Speaking to NME, Martin opened up on his experience on set.
“All I remember about that film was having to wait until midday every shooting day for Grace to come out of her trailer,” he laughed.
“When she did, she didn’t even know what she was wearing – it was completely out of continuity,” the True star explained. “She’d just wear her own clothes! It was the maddest thing I’ve ever come across.”
Martin added: “I’ve never seen somebody on a film allowed to do that. She’s a lovely lady – but she’s absolutely off-the-wall and her timings are odd.”
During the chat, he also opened up on working with brother Gary in The Krays, which saw the pair play the infamous British gangster twins.
Revealing they’d actually heard from Ronnie about his thoughts on the film, the Gold hitmaker enthused: “Yeah, Ronnie loved it.
“He said the only thing he was disappointed in was that we used machine guns instead of machetes.”
Martin’s currently working on his new TV show Sunday Best, with son Roman Kemp, as well as a Spandau Ballet musical – which is set to hit the stage after the Covid-19 pandemic.
