Playing the iconic role of James Bond was a significant milestone in Pierce Brosnan's career. The Irish actor captivated audiences with his charm and charisma across four films from 1995 to 2002. Now, at the age of 64, Brosnan looks back fondly on his time as the secret agent and shares his thoughts on the legacy he left behind.

During a recent interview with Closer at the Concert on the Bluffs in Malibu, Brosnan expressed the immense responsibility he felt while portraying such a legendary character. He stated, “The sheer brilliance of going to work each day and being a part of that movie magic, [which has] such a strong legacy was a huge responsibility.” His reflections showcase not only his deep appreciation for the role but also the impact it had on his life.

Despite the joy he experienced while playing Bond in films like GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough, and Die Another Day, Brosnan has no desire to return to the role. He firmly believes it’s time for new talent to take the reins, stating, “That’s another man’s job. Daniel Craig is a magnificent James Bond.” Craig took over the iconic role in 2005 and has since made it his own.
