He mostly did not talk about himself. He raved about his co-actors. Such humility.
He really is a class act
It’s a po ploy
True ! Thats why he born to play Doctor Fate in Black Adam he fits perfect
Just watched the one on Arnold, and saw this same comment lol
@@tylermoulton7294say what?
This guy has aged so gracefully. Such a humble and classy man as well.
right! Silverfox!
I'm a guy and even I call him daddy
Had the privilege of helping him at an Apple Store with his iPhone. Came before we opened to avoid crowds and he was nothing but friendly. Posed for pics, didn’t take himself too seriously, just wanted to be treated like any other customer but knew people wanted to meet him. A production assistant had driven him to the mall and he was chatting with him like they were old friends.
Haha cool
That is super cool. Thank you for sharing :)
I love hearing stories like this.
Cool
He has always seemed like just a nice, decent man, and it's good to have that impression confirmed.
"To me it was a line between sean and Roger" boy did he nailed it. He was a perfect mix of both.
He was
I love that he talked about 007 for 3 seconds and couldn’t stop raving about Robin and Mrs Doubtfire 🤣🤣
Best movie eva
He’s been talking about bond since 1995
He really doesn't like his run as Bond for some reason
he was a good bond but his movies weren't the best and I think he knows that, goldeneye was good but the other 3 were kinda lame tbh, die another day was so f bad
@@strikerbowls791 1) In the late 1980s, he was denied the role due to dirty play by NBC - at the last possible moment; 2) In mid-2000s his tenure was unexpectedly cut short - and had to hear about it through the (leaked?) media reports. No wonder...!
What I always liked about his character in 'Mrs. Doubtfire', was that he was effectively a love rival but he wasn't a villain. On the contrary, he was a good man and in a time where such characters were usually depicted as being underhanded, hateful and deceitful; he was a breath of fresh air.
I agree, but he did call Robin Williams a loser at the swimming pool which made the lime to the head justifiable lol.
@@goodbadbill he was a loser in that movie though
He was a man-child not suitable of being a good husband...good father for kids because he was one but not a good husband with an idea of responsibility
@@fredleeland2464 Yeah you're right. The lime to the head was hilarious though lol, probably not justified but being called a loser sucks despite Pierce not knowing he was in front of him.
@@goodbadbill The lime to the head wasn't justifiable, but it was hilarious. I used to throw fruit at my friends in high school and exploded an apple on someone's head. It was pretty funny and everyone laughed.... except for my 'friend,' lol
Cary Elwes had a similar character in Liar Liar.
This man is a national treasure. Protect Mr. Brosnan at all costs. Such humility and respect.
International treasure, really
Yes
An Irish national treasure dont forget☘
@@mrsnrub510 A British icon ;)
@@mrsnrub510 You'd be surprised
He's such a good person. And good actor. My wife and I ran into him and his wife at lunch at a restaurant. He was so nice, humble and grateful.
Pierce Brosnan is up there with people like Brendan Fraser who brought such a wholesomeness to the characters yet the action hero of the '80s. It was such a beautiful mix in the 90s for people like them
Keanu Reeves, Denzel Washington, Kurt Russell, just to name a few.
Great call :)
"With people like Brendan Fraser" 😂😆🤣
Stayed with his wife while so many other actors didn't!
His words about Robin Williams and the whole creation of Mrs Doubtfire were so wholesome.
What about his comments on Polanski
Humble
@@Nathanizbeast he called him one of the great directors of cinema and he is absolutely right about it
ur a noob
I love how this man carries himself with so much class. He is one of the few gentlemen left in this world.
He has grown as a person. He used be a terible snob.
@@mccommas2 Do you know him personally?
@@mccommas2 No, Pierce Brosnan was never known as a snob.
@@mccommas2 What BS is that?
Don't forget Sean Connery, he was a class act,!
I’m disappointed he didn’t talk about Remington Steele, the role that launched him into the rest and showed his flair for comedy. He and Stephanie Zimbalist had great chemistry.
I absolutely agree.
GQ didn’t cover it. They should have.
Loved Remington Steele
Oh my...Remington Steele was a fabulous show!
I was going to, mention that too!
I've worked 3 shoots with him [1 commercial; 2 stills]. He's that guy, right there in the video. And by guy, I mean ALL the respect. He's just so chill. And has a presence but without attitude. 16+ years of jobs with many famous people... he's one of the nicest.
/I'm just a site rep for cool locations... low on the call sheet
thats nice to hear!
Pierce has aged like a fine wine. Loved his words about Robin Williams. ❤
He's the bond i grew up watching. Timeless actor
Golden Eye was an absolute master piece, it was tense, exhilirating and entirely unique. The N64 game was perfect as well, so Im glad that this movie is above and beyond debate anyways.
Really is such an underrated Bond film. Had the best element of every 90s action flick. Tomorrow Never Dies was great as well just on having Michelle Yeoh in it.
best bond ever. His look and personality just fitted the role perfectly.
Sean Connery in the first 3 Bond films is the 🐐 but Pierce is arguably no.2
He was king 🤴
After Sean Connery
Pierce will always be my favorite James Bond. I don’t care how many times that character is portrayed, he will ALWAYS be Bond to me.
Most peoples favourite depends on their age when they see it. All James Bonds have to overcome the fact that they look like Hollywood actors, which is tough acting in itself. I thought Timothy Dalton had the best run because both his films were good and thats him, out. But he REALLY looked like a hollywood actor. Connery had some classics, then 'Never Say Never Again' kind of made him a mockery of the role. Roger had some success for the time, but then went way over the top. Octopussy was about the most 'down to earth', but then with a name like that, thats tough to be taken seriously. I thought Brosnans were also kind of over the top theme wise. Not his fault, it was the nineties, they just didn't know how to create villains. He had some meaty scenes, like when he is captured by the Koreans, but they were in transition with Cleese playing an M, they just didn't know what the heck to do. Craig came in just at the right time for that kind of series. It had problems but Skyfall was definitely one of hte best. They went so silly with the womens names that it was always hard to take them very seriously. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is still about the best series out there.
@@mikearchibald744 I'm only 16 but i grew up watching lot of james bond movies and i have always thought that the ones with daniel craig arent that good for some reason. I just somehow prefer Pierce brosnan, sean connory and roger moore, its more iconic. Maybe i just dont like modern action
He is my favourite bond as well. It is mostly because Goldeneye was such an important part of my childhood for the movie and video game. As a child, I watched all of the James Bond movies numerous times. All the bonds bring some different takes that make them unique.
Fr he’s perfect, the total package
Pierce was excellent as the smooth talking slick ladies man's, but like he said he wasn't as physical like Craig. Pierces bond didn't feel like a killer spy, Craig's didn't feel like a smooth talker. Someone who could do both would be perfect
Remington Steele was his best role ever!! The whole show was so clever and fun. And Pierce Brosnan, with his ultra charming and charismatic portrayal, made it sheer perfection!
Pierce Brosnan is iconic! GoldenEye is one of the best Bond movies, they were all enjoyable with a variety of action setpieces. Dante's Peak is one of the best disaster movies too. An underrated or forgotten movie he was also in is Butterfly On A Wheel which also starred Gerard Butler. I remember Brosnan being a terrifying psycho in that movie.
Dante's Peak is totally underrated. My favorite disaster movie by far. Great chemistry between all the characters. Perfect casting, and spectacular action sequences!
Agreed
I agree. It gets a lot of flak for being scientifically inaccurate and all that BS but it’s a good movie.
@@33Dannyb A scientifically accurate disaster movie would have to limit itself to what is plausible in real life. In other words: it wouldn't be very exciting. All the good disaster movies are the ones that puts reality aside for a moment and takes you on a thrilling adventure in which anything is possible. Dante's Peak is most definitely one of those movies.
@@jacklambert1521 i absolutely agree. Your right I noticed that with every disaster movie it flakes at the box office but is actually entertaining and like you said a really fun and exciting adventure!
I'll still never forgive that stupid grandmother for jumping into the acid lake when they were ALREADY AT SHORE
Pierce was my first Bond and he's hugely underrated in the role. Both humorous and dangerous, he understood the character but never really got the chance to shine the way Daniel Craig did. He also comes across as a friendly, warm man who obviously loves what he does. And how lovely that he chose to play Sam Carmichael because his stepdad was called Carmichael.
He's much better than Daniel Craig in the role.
Brosnan was great he just had the rotten luck of being in some not so great Bond movies
@@stich21 Best Bond ever

Opportunistic Womanizer

Sophisticated
Charismatic
Charming

Every Box Ticked....
Can turn on a dime into the most ruthless killing machine of them all with more individual kills per move than any other Bond including Daniel Craig and his Bourne complex and Dalton who had no clue what Bond was about
He's managed to do all that despite some dodgy directors and scripts to say the least
He was The Total Package.....
Agree 100%, the writing was not top tier for all of his movies. However, he as Bond was my introduction to the character and he embodies all parts of our favorite secret agent. Dangerous with a light hearted attitude, love the movies still.
I grew up with his works. Cramming up with 4 classmates to watch Remington Steele on a 4 inch portable TV. Never been a disappointment. Such an admiration!👍🏻👍🏻
That sounds like so much fun.
I forgot how incredibly handsome he was and still is. Class Act and good human.

What an amazing man, I never thought he would be so humble, artistic, deep and analytical with his roles, especially his appreciation for the art.
Absolutely love this. So pleasantly surprised by Pierce Bronson.
Brosnan 😄
How funny is it that the brother of Charles Bronson is so peaceful and nice? 😂 In all seriousness I think you mean Brosnan! 🤣
No mention of Remington Steele? As a young boy, this is the role of his that is nearest and dearest to my heart. He brought a combination of charm, brashness, vulnerability, and a hint of loneliness to the character that resonated with me. To this day I give title, studio, and release date when referencing a movie. A great, underrated actor.
I was hoping for that too. A bit disappointing. I really liked that show. Have the dvds
Was Disappointed as well. Love that show
Grew up watching Remington Steele with my mom when it aired, and now I'm that person at the office & in friend-groups doing the "reminds me of X movie, 193x, ". Man, I should just go back and watch that show LOL
Great show -- loved it! Glad I have all the eps on DVD. Pierce was a revelation and Stephanie did a fantastic job as Laura too.
@@mandisaw I have it on DVD. One day, I hope to build Steele's Auburn as a model car.
Absolutely loved him and all the cast in "The Thomas Crown affair". Beautiful film, loved loved loved the dance scene, I must have watched this movie like 20 times!
I've seen it at least,3-4 times, I'll watch it 3-4 more time's!
Seriously, what's not to like about Pierce, such a class act. Thank you for all your films Mr. Brosnan.
Me too thanks 007
His better version of Tom Cruise . rather Brosnan was more movie star
Pierce Brosnan is a class act period.
Only if you knew what he was really like!! They say never meet your hero’s he’s one of them!!
As a 90s kid, Pierce was my James Bond. Most of his films especially Mrs. Doubtfire were classics.
Yes I grew up on his James Bond
Same! For me he's THE James Bond - also because of the Nintendo 64 game.
Remington Steele was also iconic in my opinion....
Totally agree loved that show.
Yes!
Brosnan is my absolute favourite James Bond, even if the plots of a couple of the films weren’t stellar, he always nailed the character in a way that made you want to be James Bond.
He did not need to go as hard as he did singing SOS in Mamma Mia, but he did that for us
ICONIC
Loved it 😂❤
He did it for millions of dollars
They dialled his singing back for the sequel.
No, he did that TO us
This man is near 70. He looks great. He is gifted. Nothing more you can say, really.
The Legend himself. He will forever be known as one of the best Bonds.
I tell you man. This guy is the best bond ever.
Completely agree with you !!!
The best!
It's Timothy Dalton.
Thomas Crown Affair is one of the most underrated movies of all time. Just so much fun.
Fabulous movie
One of my absolute favorites as well! I love how the music so wonderfully intertwines with the various scenes. Great score!
And one of the few movies that is better than the original.
@@victoria2944 100%
Agree! It's one of those movies I watch every time I find it ❤
I'm surprised he didn't talk about The Foreigner. It's both his, and Jackie Chan's best performances in my opinion. That movie is phenomenal.
I liked Robinson Caruso
And No Escape
Agreed, that was an amazing film for both of them.
It wasn't that good. Hardly an 'iconic character'.
Have you seen "The Matador"?
Can’t help but love and respect how humble this man is! He’s one of the best Bond’s ever and I’ve watched Dante’s Peak so many times! It’s right up there with Twister as my favorite disaster. Brilliantly done! And of course, you can’t forget his supporting role in Mrs. Doubtfire! This man did a movie with Robin Williams! He was also great in The Foreigner with Jackie Chan!
Will always be my 007, him and Roger Moore, they had the style, the class and the one liners, while holding it down when needed. Don't care if they weren't the closest to the original book's character, they are how i imagined Bond would be in real life. Goldeneye is by far my favorite Bond's movie.
Agree wholeheartedly
Golden eye is awesome!!
Absolutely
My favourite role of his is actually in the Thomas Crown Affair, and his chemistry with Rene Russo is absolutely incredible.
me too - great movie all together. Watching the catamaran tip over was amazing.
Same. The whole movie has stuck with me for a long time.
Agree! Love that movie
She's so good in that movie, her introduction scene is fantastic... and then when they meet its just pure tension (beautiful) both were great
Watch that one almost yearly
His first stint as Bond was immediately a classic, Goldeneye is still (IMO) one of the best 007 movies fromt he entire series.
Agree it’s too 5 for me
its the best bond film after goldfinger
It's a shame the storylines got so ridiculous, he really was a great Bond
Not for me. I love Brosnan, but for me that era of Bond movies are the worst in franchise history. A bridge too far on the silliness. I wish he’d played Bond during an era of better scripts.
@@hannibalb8276 totally agree with this, I love Goldfinger. Martin Campbell has some questionable films in repertoire, but the man perfectly reinvented Bond twice (first Goleneye, then Casino Royale), and that takes an amazing amount of skill
LOVE the surprise ending in Thomas Crown.
One of my favourite Brosnan movies was the Tailor of Panama. A friend once commented that Pierce has never been in anything crap, which is quite a compliment. I've come to really appreciate Pierce Brosnan's acting - if I see his name on it, I know it will be entertaining.
Goldeneye is a masterpiece even if critics will never label it that way, its sad that some people dont see the magic that it brings, too bad for them.
I remember a time when any film directed by Martin Campbell would actively promote that it was directed by “the director of Goldeneye”
I've never looked, had no idea it was not seen as anything but a masterpiece. That's a shame because to me it is still the best. Like I said in my comment, I hate his movies got so stupid toward the end of his run because he will always be my favorite bond and he was so wasted as Bond after Goldeneye.
My personal favorite Bond film
Alec is a top 4 Bond villain
yeah the remaked game with that clown danielle craig is a disgrace
@Erik It really was.
I'm just glad he's still around doing movies, he's an awesome screen presence and isn't bogged down by his ego. He and Timothy Dalton are my favorite James Bond actors of all time.
Good morning. My two favorites, too.
DALTON HAVE UNIQUE FACE I NEVER SEEN THAT IN ANY OTHER MAN.
Ah please Timothy the relic Dalton really? Sure maybe as the horse face dull witted actor that he has been always could at best play second fiddle to the mighty Pierce any day.. I could easily hate Timothy in anything outside of stage theater at best. He's such a bore really!
Yes! I’m of the same opinion! Everyone I know raves about other Bonds. But I think Brosnan and Dalton were really underrated.
Wish Dalton did a third movie before Pierce started - Both great Bonds
Still has that georgeous hair!He is also an incredible husband and Father,
Hi I’ve been seeing your comments,you’re a real one, leave me your google chat id or whatsapp
❤
Since Remmington Seele Pierce Brosnan has been my absolute favorite actor, a true human, a great character and an idol. I wish I could have had 1% of his handsomeness, humility and humor. Pierce is an absolute unique exemplar of the human species. Nobody like him, nowhere...
Absolutely agreeeeee
I love this guy. Goldeneye will always have a special place in my heart. I loved his portrayal of Bond.
His impression of Robin Williams is just amazing.
I was shocked by that. I was randomly listening to this while cleaning the house, as suddenly the voice of Doubtfire AND Robin could be heard. It was so spot on, I had to grab my phone to see if it really was Brosnan doing the voice or if it was a clip they intersected into the video.
I've just stumbled on a seldom seen movie called Seraphim Falls that moved me a lot. Pierce Brosnan and Liam Neeson give deep and powerful performances.
What a gentleman and a humble individual. True class act.
It’s clear how much love and admiration Pierce had for Robin. Nice to hear
I honestly love this man. Not only for the great roles he has played, but the way he loved his wife that passed away, and the way he loves his wife Keely now.
His daughter passed away too, of ovarian cancer just like his first wife, in 2013. Unfortunately in the intervening 30 years they couldn't develop any treatment to beat such a deadly disease :(
He never went 'Hollywood' and never allowed his fame to go to his head. He always stayed grounded and I think his love for his family had a lot to do with that.
Met Pierce in Malibu 4 years ago and he was THE nicest and most gracious, humble celebrity I have EVER met and I've met a lot of them.
Pierce Brosnan is a gem. One of my favorite celebrities ever in person. Such a funny and kind man.
Remington Steele showcased Stephanie and Pierce's acting range episode after episode. The show had everything. Action, comedy, drama, suspense, mystery, romance, etc. Really sad that it's a forgotten tv show.
YES. IT was a perfect and well-rounded show. Michael Gleason was a legend.
It was also some great training for playing Bond since Steele had all the same personality traits
Not forgotten! Just look at how many of us here in the comments reference it :)
Exactly!
Me and my family still watch it to this day! Absolutely love that show.
GQ dropped the ball big time with this featurette. Remington Steele should have been featured first, as it introduced the entire world to Brosnan, and almost immediately fans were clamouring for him as Bond.
I could see a mid-30s, younger Brosnan in The Living Daylights and License to Kill.
Agreed!
💯
Wishing for repeats of Remington Steele
I totally agree. But I remember first seeing him in the mini-series Manions of America. He played Rory O’Manion. There was an immediate fan club created. A very small handful of my friends saw the mini-series and Pierce was seared into our brains. The next year we heard about Remington Steele happening. We told all our friends to watch it because he was going to be in it. “Who’s Pierce Brosnan?”, they asked. Nobody else knew who we were talking about. Well, the world would definitely find out in Remington Steele. It really put him on the map. But I still feel it was Manions of America that introduced him to America, which made everyone see what was possible with this man. But nobody talks about Manions of America.
I admire him so much. He's such a great actor. It doesn't matter what he is doing, if it's the main character or just a small part, he always deliveries everything he has. It is just amazing!
Pierce Brosnan is the Bond of my Generation and, to be honest, the best one in my opinion (and I watched all of the Bond Movies). Even I liked him in Dantes Peak, in the golden age of the 90s with Twister, Volcano, Armageddon and Independence Day.
One of the things you can noticed throughout the entire interviews is how much he respect his peers and the love he has for acting, he loves it so much that he gives meaning and try to understand the character so he can portray them better and understand how to react. The way he express himself you can just listen to him talk all day and not get bored!!!
Pierce Brosnan is such an underrated actor I remember the late to mid 90s an early 2000s u couldn't not turn on the TV without seeing him in some up an coming potentially great movie!
Best Bond ever IMO
Underrated is a nonsensical description. Everyone knows him. Literally you said you couldn't turn off TV without seeing him which is the opposite of underrated.
@@cellpat7392 That's how I first discovered him
Pierce is my favourite bond grew up watching his bond films and playing the games. Pierce Brosnan will always be the real bond to me.
Pierce Brosnan was one of the best James Bond imo.
Been a massive Pierce Brosnan fan since Remington Steele and have watched almost all his movies. He’s had a lot of heartache in his life, so it’s nice to see him getting some of the recognition he deserves.
I cannot believe no one asked him about Remington Steele while filming this.
I don't usually like remakes but Pierce's _The Thomas Crown Affair_ is so good! And he's such a grounded, marvelous human being.
I'm right with you on that. It was an excellent remake, one of the few that I can watch without even thinking of the original.
Remakes can be great. The Ocean's series is basically a remake as well.
@@spacemann1425 No fan of the original Oceans 11 will consider the remake and spinoffs to be anything other than CRAP. There was a magic to the original that can never be captured by anyone other than the legends who made it.
@@barcham The original was not only a great movie, it was really cool too. The remake was good enough but I felt it was trying too hard to be cool.
Loved, loved Thomas crown affair! I still watch it!
This man is a gent and a legend
This man is aweomse. He never ceases to surprise me.
I'm surprised there was no talk of Remington Steele. It was definitely one of the key roles that jump-started his career.
He probably didn't want to talk about that, having gone on to do Bond.
I guess he doesn't have very fonds memories of that show after all he had to endure behind cameras.
I believe this was focused on his film roles only.
No Remington Steele? That was a really iconic character as well and he played it so well.
LOVED Remington Steele. Has A kid love that show and said to myself he would make a great James Bond , me and my dad love the old ones ...and years later he did.
One of my favorite actors, who brings class to each character he plays.
Loved him as Remington Steele, as Bond, and so many other roles. So underrated and so humble and marvelous. And I loved Nomads.
Yes, Nomads was great. Remember The Lawnmower Man?
@@thealmancometh9219 Yes!
Watch The Fourth Protocol
@@strikerbowls791 Oh yeah, that's a good one!
Underrated makes no sense. Dude has been in so many movies and just about everyone that isn't a teen now knows him. If people dislike him sure, but that isn't the case.
Dante’s Peak is an absolute fun 90s disaster movie with great special effects and probably the second most well known movie of Linda Hamilton 😂. It’s just a fun flick
It's one of the few geological disaster movies I can stomach, having been trained as a geologist LOL It's all Hollywood BS, but at least there's a nod to reality heh
One of my favourites
Pierce Brosnan is my favourite actor and childhood hero since I saw him as a little kid playing Rimington Steele. All love and respect to him
He is my ultimate crush and he seems to have a great personality, too. Thank you for featuring Pierce Brosnan.
I don't care what others think, for me HE is James Bond. When I was a teenager watching the James Bond movies of the time, it was Pierce Brosnan. Thanks for the memories
I grew up on his Bond movies too. But nope, face the facts. Craig is the best Bond.
Pierce Brosnan is best bond.
He was the worst bond in my opinion. Not even close to Connery or Roger. Very unconvincing bond. He looked more like a guy who was playing bond instead of being James Bond.
@@joewas2225 That's more of an opinion than a fact, my guy.
I so agree with you.....he and Daniel were the best 007,s
Saw him in Lawnmower Man and felt he should be James Bond. A few years later, he was. It was awesome because it felt like I picked him for it.
Loved Pierce since Remington Steele. Now I’m going to watch The Thomas Crown Affair for I’m sure the 100th time ❤
Great actor! That kind of people you just simply like. Humble and simple spirit , my favorite bond.
Mr. Brosnan really is a class apart. Wonderful actor, humble, artistic, full of admiration for his fellow actors, and an all-around kind and caring person. It was great to see him talk about his different roles and his memories associated with the films. Thanks, GQ!
As a fellow Irish man, I was so proud of him in Remington Steele, then in 86 the missed opportunity to be Bond was crushing, but his part in The Fourth Protocol made up for it. Still very proud of Pierce, God bless you
In 86 ?
@@lexkanyima2195 yea, 1986 he was Bond, before he had to pull out because of contract obligations to the t.v. series Remington Steele, then Dalton came in
@@peterfranks6243 ohh, so why he took 9 years to get the part ?
Thomas Crayon Affair is a superb film. Not often a remake equals the original.
Absolutely LOVE him. What a great actor.
What a legend, his Bond movies were some of my favs. Also who can forget him singing in Mamma Mia?
Favorite movie he was in 😅
Love pierce Brosnan simply a fantastic actor and man. Being born in 1990 I grew up with his bond films and loved them as a kid and still enjoy them now. Hes such an established actor that just has a way about him that is so likeable, elegant and humble.
I love that he's honest about which films he really got something deeper out of and which ones he's like "I remember the paycheck" and "I liked that I got to fish a lot...beautiful scenery"!
I remember in the Thomas Crowne Affair DVD commentary, John McTiernan (i assume) said about one of the first shots: Pierce walked into the office scene where he does/doesn't have his briefcase blah blah... but wanted to do it again. And McTiernan was blown away about how Pierce stopped, thought a moment, and then they did the take again, and it was an entirely different person walking into scene. He was able to just transform himself into Crowne just by the way he walked. As an early teen, hearing and seeing that, it made me realize just how much actors do to become the character. It's not all just handed to them and they do what is written down.
Growing up in the 90's, I thought he played a phenomenal Bond. He will always be my personal favorite. Although Goldeneye may not be considered amongst the top films in the Bond franchise... the video game adaptation of the film is of legendary status in the gaming industry. Thank you, Pierce
Ya on the N64 🎮
No doubt, but I loved both.
I consider Goldeneye the best Bond movie with Casino Royale a close second. I just feel Goldeneye and Pierce capture the complete and best aspects of what Bond is and should be.
@@seanosuillebhean7495 I am so thankful it is coming to the Switch.
We need a updated graphics version for the Switch with multiplayer.
remington steele will always be my favorite character !!!!
The Long Good Friday, The Fourth Protocol, Mars Attacks, The Tailor Of Panama, The Matador, After The Sunset, No Escape, The Greatest, The Foreigner, Butterfly On A Wheel, so many memorable Brosnan roles and movies.
Indeed! Was just thinking The Fourth Protocol (first saw that movie via VHS). And yes many as you mentioned and listed. Cheers...
Always loved his quick expression change when Robin hit him with the lime. Classic.
I’ve loved Pierce since Remington Steele. Thank you for all the entertainment you’ve given me over my lifetime.
He was brilliant in Matador - he should have been Oscar nominated - that role really tapped his strengths, and brought something unique out of him - nobody else could have done that so well - if he pursues roles like that, with that combination of elements, he could develop into a great actor
Agreed!! I’ve never seen a better depiction of a man having a protracted nervous breakdown!! Oscar tier level acting!!
He already is!! Have you seen him in the tv serie The son ?
+1 The Matador is his best movie
He was snubbed big times
What grace, what poise. Forever in love with Pierce!
Classy and elegant man. On and off screen. Brilliant interview.
Pierce Brosnan is a treasure. Love him as Bond.
Met him whilst out for a drink. He’s a lovely guy, very polite and not at all bothered by me asking for a photo. Legend!
so he didn`t ask you to take photo with you?
I love Pierce Brosnan. I’ve got all his movies on dvd, even the Remington Steele series and the Manions of America on my computer. I’ve visited the places in Ireland related to him: the street St. Finian’s Terrace in Navan where he was born, the Monastery in the Manions of America, Ashford Castle (now a 5 star hotel) where his wedding was celebrated and which castle he inherited in Remington Steele… he signed the picture of himself that I took with me to the premiere of the movie The November man that he attended on the red carpet in Oostende in Belgium with Beau St. Claire. It’s framed and hangs on my living room wall. He is such a humble, gentle and good looking man who’s been through some really tough times. He’d almost lost his son in a car crash. In an interview he revealed that he had to think twice of taking the role of a father who loses his son in a car accident in the movie The Greatest. And also his first wife Cassandra Harris, her daughter Charlotte (his step daughter) and Beau St. Claire… all three died of ovarian cancer. Yet he carried on making movies and carried on with his life.
But I think that over all the years that have passed he (still!) is the absolute number 1 for wearing a suit. They’re made for his physique and he looks extremely handsome in them!
He’s been called the most handsome man by GQ magazine.
… did I mention that I love him?
He was so worried about properly portraying Bond. He did an outstanding job. To me, he has the perfect Bond look and manner.
