Famke Janssen on Amsterdam Empire | Returning to Dutch TV, Bond Legacy & Netflix Authenticity

In this exclusive interview, Famke Janssen talks about her powerful return to Dutch television in Netflix’s Amsterdam Empire — a dark, stylish and unpredictable new series that showcases her as both star and executive producer. Famke opens up about what drew her to the complex, layered role of Betty, how the show explores power, fame, and identity in Amsterdam’s criminal underworld, and why she wanted full creative control as a producer and even designed her own costumes. She also reflects on the global rise of non-English Netflix hits like Squid Game, her early career as a model, her groundbreaking Bond girl role in GoldenEye, and why authenticity in storytelling matters now more than ever. Famke shares behind-the-scenes details from Amsterdam Empire, talks about diversity in Dutch film culture, her collaboration with Belgian showrunners, and the lessons she’s learned after decades in Hollywood with films like X-Men, The Faculty and Taken. Watch until the end for a nostalgic look back at GoldenEye turning 30, her experiences with Pierce Brosnan, and why the X-Men legacy continues to resonate with fans around the world. ✨ Amsterdam Empire streams exclusively on Netflix from October 30th. 🎥 Interview by Scott Davis for HeyUGuys 📍 Filmed during the Netflix Amsterdam Empire press junket #FamkeJanssen #AmsterdamEmpire #NetflixSeries #GoldenEye #JamesBond #XMen #TheFaculty #Taken #HeyUGuys #NetflixInterview #BehindTheScenes #DutchCinema #WomenInFilm #AuthenticityInFilm #NetflixOriginal #CelebrityInterview --------------------- For syndication or usage opportunities please contact [email protected]. --------------------- More from HeyUGuys: Website ► http://HeyUGuys.com Follow us on Twitter ►   / heyuguys   Subscribe here! ► http://bit.ly/HeyUGuysYTSub Facebook ►   / heyuguys   Instagram ►   / heyuguysofficial   TikTok ►   / heyuguysofficial   ---------------------
