How old is Olga Kurylenko now?

This number comes from fan-wiki profiles, not from the verified film database, so it is the least reliable of the three physical stats.

- Languages: Ukrainian, Russian, English, French, Italian, Spanish — from the same iFANN profile.
Her multilingual background helped her move between French, English, and Eastern European productions.

How did Olga Kurylenko earn her wealth?
- From decades of modeling and acting; her Bond role in 2008 raised her international visibility (Danish Film Institute, above).

Summary
Kurylenko’s career is a study in how a single role can change a career without defining it. The Bond movie made her a global name; the quieter European films and fashion work have kept her busy since. For a fan checking her age or height, the numbers are easy: born in 1979, 5 ft 9 in, one son. For anyone trying to separate verified biography from tabloid estimate, the gap between confirmed facts and fuzzy net-worth talk is the part to watch. For the reader who wants to trust what they read about Kurylenko, the choice is clear: follow the film database and the festival record, or you’ll inherit someone else’s guess.
