I don't think there are many classic men left in
Hollywood but Pierce is undoubtably one. At only 38 he was a widower, and then remarried and has stayed faithful to the mother of his children for over twenty years. Not only that but he also still speaks highly of her publicly. AND he's James Bond. Doesn't get any better than that
He is the perfect husband, perfect spy and now is playing one of the most powerful sorcerers and practitioner of magic in DC history.
Best Bond ever IMO
Not many men, like him anymore, loyal,steadfast, and mature.
man the bar is really low
Nice words but you really have no way of knowing if he's "stayed faithful" to anybody. So ridiculous.
Craig did a fantastic job, but this guy will always be the quintessential James Bond of my childhood.
I stopped watching Bond when Craig took over. He was the worst of all.
Absolutely he is the the James Bond of a generation’s childhood
Pierce was genuinely the last real Bond. Craig was his own character.
Agree!!
I’m glad Daniel Craig is the James Bond of my generation, but Pierce Brosnan will always be a quintessential Bond, same as Sean Connery.
He's a class act. Not many like him. I also love how he treats his wife and how he talks about her.
Please do more of these 🙌🏻
The fact that he kept his sanity, identity and integrity going through hollywood is amazing. The real james bond as far as im concerned. What a great down to earth man.
👑👑👑👑👑👑👑
Agreed ! That's why he is the perfect cast for Doctor Fate ! He nails his role
Well, he *is* Irish 😆
This man is the definition of a movie superstar, the style and grace of him is through the roof that very few actors have
And also he has been in movies.
Now he takes Doctor Fate's character into a new all level
He's simultaneuously a nerdy dad, an cool grandad and also the most charismatic man in any room on earth.
That’s James Bond for you lol
Very down to earth man
Just behind me.
For you
He has tastes the regular guy can have. Hobbies like he’s still a child at heart chasing a dream that was replaced with acting but never filling that void.
"Nothing comes from nothing" words to live by! LOVE IT! Thanks for those very wise words Mr. Brosnan. You are a legend.
🍷👍 Touch'e
The Guy working at Tesco could have told u that, but because hes a celebrity you act shocked and amazed
Thanks for the all the love and support . seriously blown away by the love from all of you.
You seems to be a really friend of mine.. where are you from.
I still think he’s the best bond we ever had. He simply has that next level class and style. I just wish he had the scripts that Daniel Craig got. Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies were good but I’d have loved to see Pierce in Skyfall.
Pierce would be PERFECT in Skyfall and Casino Royale.
Pierce Brosnan is the perfect bond. How come D. Craig is not gracefyl.
Pierce was the best Bond.
Tarantino tried to do a period piece Casino Royale with Pierce, but Bond producer Barbara Brocolli had a crush on Craig and copied Bourne instead.
@EE wow I didn’t know that
"It all comes from work. Nothing comes from nothing." - words to live by. A gentleman and a class act.
Pierce Brosnan deserved recognition for a long time… Ever since he was unceremoniously retired from James Bond, I always wished he’d get a comeback and I’m so glad he has.
Hope I live to see him get an Oscar. Way past time. Should already have a few by now.
Reminds me of what George Carlin once mentioned about awards, kingmakers 👑 and recognition - 'There are big clubs out there that decide who makes it and who's out.These are nasty clubs, and you and I are fortunately not in it!'🍷
The recognition he got was The millions he earned, Oscars and Emmys have become meaningless and politically correct
Brosnan is how I always imagine a retired secret agent looks like.
Agreed ! He nailed James Bond as much as he nails Doctor Fate now
The amount of charisma he has is insane.
Elvis Presley: Am I a joke to you?
Well he is James Bond
I can't wait to see him as Doctor Fate!
@ballybunion9 Yes
Pierce Brosnan is the best Bond actor of them all
Opportunistic Womanizer
Suave
Sophisticated
Charismatic
Charming
Playboy Spy
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.....
I never thought there would be a person who can be old and new merged together well, but by God, Pierce Brosnan embodies that well.
The power of healthy lifestyle
Pure class! Dying breed of actors. Grew up with Pierce during his peak!!!
This man has only become better and more distinguished with age. Fantastic talent and one of the best Bonds
The fact my parents lived on this guy and I also had the previlige is truly incredible. I hope Pierce will do movies for many years. My dad hasn't seen Black Adam, but im sure he will be pleased seeing the one doing one of the main roles is James Bond himself (from his time era). The world is missing classy men like Pierce thats for sure. I love how he talks about every film he did with true passion, he doesn't see his roles as any small gigs and he gives them full respect. Truly one of a kind.
What a great guy. He likes nice things - he deserves them all for giving us years of great entertainment.
That’s why he was James Bond. Pierce Brosnan just oozes charisma. A true gentleman
Travel Crawl This isn't exactly the format to discuss depth. He's lived ten lives compared to you.
Travel Crawl What an awful thing to say. The man grew up fatherless (his dad only reached out to him once he became famous) his wife dies of cancer, his step-daughter dies of cancer, he’s seen the extreme peaks and troughs of the industry, he’s extremely active when it comes to environmental/animal issues, his deeply enamoured with his family - a huge achievement considering how many superstars fail at this - but you decide to reduce this man to Hollywood shallowness with no depth?
Your comment says more about you than Mr Brosnan himself.
He is the BEST James bond ever and now he is the best Doctor Fate ! 🖤⚡
The perfect Thomas Crown.
I absolutely love Pierce, he is an amazing and wonderful person and I can't say enough good things about him
You know what is cool, he shows things that he really enjoys. It is not about being fancy, being rich, “nothing comes from nothing”. He is all about comfort and enjoyment.
He will always be the Bond that I grew up with and remember dearly. If he ever opened up an art gallery to the public, I would love to visit and see it!!
True class is something that cannot be bought. It is already present in most of us and is nurtured by life's experiences and how well we react to them. Mr. Brosnan is a true example of that. He exudes it. One for the Ages. One cannot say enough...............
I enjoyed that, nice to hear that he is so artistic and spiritual. Being an artist and writer myself I realise the value of this for mental health and a happy life, more precious than all the money and materialism in the world.
Pierce Brosnan has always been the epitome of cool. He's only gotten better with age.
This guy is grace and charm personified. So dignified. Loved every minute of this.
He is all around amazing. Gorgeous, sensitive, kind, a good husband, and father. 100%.
You know him personally or do you base your conclusion on his media team ?
One of my favorite artists/actors. And when it comes to style(s).... he's always been one I look to. Cheers to many great years ahead, Pierce.
He only gets cooler with age. Humble Legend.
"It's easy to be humble, when you have everything.": Dalai Lama
A man who has whittled down life to what’s important to him. There’s no unnecessary babble, just straight talk. How refreshing. I’ve always considered him one of the best looking actors and thoroughly enjoyed the movie “Laws of Attraction.” Just a classy sassy guy!😉
Once a Bond always a Bond. Seems like a person that is just great to have a conversation with.
Unfortunately not a good Bond, although more due to weak scripts and direction.
@Chris Heart nope
A class act, God bless him & his family.
Such a gentleman! Pierce is an absolutely reference and inspiration! One of the gretastes Bonds in my opinion and an brilliant actor! I’m huge fan!
Once a Bond, always a Bond! God bless Sir Pierce Brosnan
I’m old enough to have watched him as Remington Steele. The Bond persona was simply an extension of his suaveness…a charismatic gentleman that made Maddie melt.
Agreed ! Every character he does he just take it to a different new level. Same he does with doctor fate now
What a Classy, Elegant, but also Grounded Gentleman. I’ve always loved him as an actor in action, drama and comedy….give him credit for trying to sing though. Much respect.🙏🏼
Coming from a watch enthusiast I immediately picked up on how he didn’t mention Rolex, AP, and only mentioned Patek when saying that Girard Perregaux made the watch he was wearing. A man that likes well made time pieces without the hype names behind them.
His voice is like a martini shaken but not stirred
Perfect description
I could listen to him narrate the dictionary. His voice is so smooth
No one is more classier than this man right here
The amount of cheese in this comment lol.
Ik the 007 reference but his voice actually sounds more stirred then shaken. Smooth = stirred and abrupt = shaken
I love how much of a part in his life his wife has played. You can tell he loves her with all his heart.
Pierce Brosnan, a true gentleman! May you inspire younger generations!
Love that he still appreciates the cost of things. He's a lovely man with a beautiful wife.
I do love his personality and his faith. He has his feet on the ground and the love for his wife makes him a true man ❤. God bless you Pierce 🙏🏻
The ground is a good place to put feet.
Very very cool man. Mature, witty, charismatic and a style icon
Even though he is far from the most critically acclaimed Bond, whenever I think of “James Bond”, or I read Ian Fleming’s novels, my mind always pictures Pierce Brosnan. Such a charismatic guy.
To me he's the best
He played Bond perfectly, it was the unfinished scripts, rushed productions and increasingly goofy writing that resulted in the films being less well receaved. Nevertheless he was the last true Bond.
@EE Daniel Craig bonds are literally the best bonds 😂
@Sniperking Maybe if you became a fan in the last 15 years. From Russia with Love, Goldfiner, Thunderball, The Spy Who Loved Me, For Your Eyes Only etc are all undisputedly top tier Bond films. Craig is lacking charisma and wit.
@EE the old James Bond movies are good but they wouldn’t work in this day and age. Bourne movies changed how it works so bond had to change. Craig is a top class actor. Sean Connery was top class but roger Moore was terrible same for lazenby glad he only got one Timothy wasn’t much better. Sean Craig and pierce by far the best. Everyone has opinions my grandparents who been fans since day one love Craig but hated Moore so🤷♂️
Big fan. Really think it's a shame that he was not signed up for more Bond films as he ticked all the boxes.
Also love the Brosnan films, The November Man and The Matador.
Pierce Brosnan is just....Awesome. He's what a man should be. Great integrity, great style, values what one should value. Bravo.
The elegance of this man is unmatched. He’s pure perfection. 👌🏾
My dad always joked that he could never like a James Bond that was a victim of a "Run by Fruiting" which always made me laugh. But I always have enjoyed the work of Pierce. One of the more recent movies was "The Foreigner" with Jackie Chan. What an incredible insight into the man. I didn't know that he was artist but he did do those sketches in the movie "Mama Mia". Great Actor!!!
One of the best-looking men on the planet. Seems like a very grounded and down-to-earth guy. So respectful of his wives. I love that he carries rosary beads with him when he flies. Being a “relaxed Catholic” myself, I can relate. Classy guy.
Great interview. He seems very happy and grounded. Grateful for how far he has come so now he can afford these finer things in life. God Bless.
Refreshing. Love his sense of humor. Great artist, getting to see another side of him, more personal, humorous.
Very enjoyable. Always easy on the eyes. Lucky girl, that Keely.
He’s always been one of my favourite actors love his style
He is one of the very few true gentlemen out there, so elegant, nice, great actor and a fantastic husband
This man is such a legend. Total style icon
he's absolutely delightful to watch and listen to! One of my absolute favorites!
Thanks for the all the love and support . seriously blown away by the love from all of you.
How does this man not have:
A design range with a watchmaker
A shoreline
An art line
A range of shoes.
Good grief.
Because he is not Kanye West. He knows his lane.
@Miguel Rosado Kanye isn't fit to brush Pierce's teeth
Well I suppose he just likes enjoy these things as opposed to creating a business out of them. I quite like that. Too often do celebs find a hobby or interest in something and create their own subpar take of it.
Not everybody aspires for those things lol
@Miguel Rosado Kayne West the man who boasts he has never read a book lol.
My favourite bond actor growing up as a huge bond fan. He is still living the 007 life with those quality essentials. The man certainly has great taste.
What a charming man, an absolute treasure 💯
Please do another segment with Him, because this was awesome, he is Class all Class.
From Remington Steele to Bond and so many other Iconic characters and he carries that stylish charisma even this day.. classic man with great tastes…
One of my favourites, such a humble human being.
A hard working actor, totally natural, truly deserves what he has due to all the hard work he does, in and out of films.
What a charming stylish and decent man Pierce Brosnan is! Loved watching every single one of his movies and serials.
Saw several art pieces of his and was floored by how marvelous they look. Wish he had an art show in NYC.
Honestly, these 10 things are so simplistic; sunglasses, watches, belts, shoes, headphones & liquor. What's not to love about this man?
Dude still oozes pure class. Cool like Steve McQueen and all those classic movie stars
Such elegance and simplicity, love his work and his personality seems brilliant as well.
Him cracking up about comfy slippers is great. From action star to reflective beach artist. What a story, lol.
@lotion power It's just funny mate. You ok? Or do you need to go touch some grass?
What can I say to this. I enjoyed the bit of personal preferences shared by Pierce, he related these things quite well. So odd that such things are matters of fascination to the public, but Pierce seems to have borne up well under the intrusiveness of such probing. As an EXTREMELY famous person, he's managed to reconcile the public and private portions of his life quite well. Me. I'm still trying to fit a 5 milliwatt laser pointer into an Omega watch copy for use as a Goldeneye laser watch turned kitty chaser. 🙂🙂🙂 Hobbies, eh?
Definitely, one of the best artist of our times and first class all the way! Beautiful family as well! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
When he said, "I can't believe I'm talking about slippers." It's about 4 in the morning and that had me CRACKING UP!
That it's serious, but obviously he could laugh at himself and INSTANTLY related to me he's down to earth.
Respect, Mr. Brosnan!!!
After all these years, he still has a team of Qs making slippers, watches, and art stuffs for him. Wow. And I love how he incredibly talks about his wife. How devotedly faithful.. and he remains to be down-to-earth and calm talking as if we're just somewhere in the home with him. He still captivates us with that charm, confidence and voice that is as smooth and suave as ever like 007's martini. Shaken. Not stirred. 😊🍸
I love this guy…he has a beautiful voice, speaks fluent English, has a sense of humour and no flashy despite his wealth.
".... speaks fluent English" !! Bleeding obvious, no? They do speak English in Ireland you know.
I forgot just how charismatic he is, and how he's just DRIPPING in confidence and swagger and cool
That's a real Dumb comment, he's Doing a short fun video, Why would he not be confident? ,
confidence is speaking in a group of 30 people glaring at you
I think his lack of swagger is his most appealing trait.
He’s a made man, and he doesn’t need to prove anything to anyone.
@lotion power They are speaking of Mr. Brosnan's overall performances, not just this video, duh!
@lotion power the OP was referring to his general demeanour and how he oozes confidence..Your remark is petty and you sound highly strung and you need to get out more!
The legendary Pierce Brosnan. Always a proper time to sit and listen to him speak.
What a classy man. So down to earth and his statement, “ nothing comes from nothing “. He is truly blessed 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I've always thought a lot of him. That he feeds the wild chickens is darling! "They're not ours, but they know us." I just loved that. It was my favorite part of the whole thing.
👍😎🥰😎👍
You can buy class,to look classic , but you CANT be class no matter how much money you have.
Pierce is class.had he turned into a middle of the road painter,he would look suave and perfect doing it just like he does being an worldwide famous actor.
Now this is what you call a class act ! The best bond by a country mile ! This man shaped generations of men with the art of smooth..
From Bond to slippers, Pierce you have boundless class.
Think you mean Bondless class.
Pierce is such a suave; classy;debonair; zen like; handsome man. He likes nice things. Carries the rosary and the Buddhist beads is very cool. Makes me love him even more.
I tried not to miss Pierce Brosnan's movies and series. 😊😊
Brosnan is still one of those celebrities who radiate incredible elegance and sovereignty, like the actors in the 50s and 60s.
Thank you for being amazing Pierce. To know you and Noel Gallagher love the same brand of sunglasses as I do make me smile, now I need a pair like yours!
-SBX
I grew up watching him as Bond. He was always classy and witty. I never understood Daniel Craig's version.
Bond should never have Short hair
Brilliant actor, always brings his energy and tries interesting ideas. And carries an air of cool whilst also being down to earth. Would have loved to have seen him in the Kings Man. Loved him as bond, sadly the bond scripts didn't always do him justice.
Este hombre es una divinidad. Un verdadero gentleman ❤️
I honestly feel like we've been all robbed... Brosnan was the Bond of a generation (including mine), and he was probably the right Bond for the time, but I can't not imagine how perfect he, himself, would be as Bond, without trying to play Bond.
I love him since Remington Steel. He played this classy cheeky playboy stereotype in Remington steel and James Bond, in real life he's a devoted husband and dad. Such an awesome guy! ❤
this by far has been the best, its simple, charismatic and suave. Pierce is just the ultimate gent
You want him ?
@lotion power nah , not in that way .....i would like to emulate his style
Pierce could make almost anything sound great. You can see why he was asked to be a spokesperson.
Watching this is like ASMR. What a classic man. Confidence oozes out of him even when he's doing a casual interview.
I love how just straight up enjoyable he is on screen.
I’m a pretty irreverent person; I don’t put anyone on a pedestal. But I will admit that if I ever met Pierce Brosnan, I would cry, poop my pants, and bow -all at the same time-to this gorgeous, charismatic, humble, and compassionate Irishman. I have been in love with Brosnan since he began acting as Remington Steele. He is one of the few actors in Hollywood I want to meet.
A fashion iconic and one of the coolest men alive. Controversially I think he's the best Bond
I haven't watched his Bond movies but he is fantastic in every other movie I've seen him in, he brings so much to his movies...
Always love him and his characters.
Pierce is a great actor. I've been watching him my whole life. Can't wait to see him in Black Adam.
Nothing comes nothing is a fantastic quote. I always loved Pierce as Bond and he still oozes cool but comes across as a class act
He is always my favorite James Bond after Roger Moore and Sean Connery. Actually I first saw Pierce's movies as very first James Bond movies. Still remember him driving that tank on the movie. I wish he has some kind of cameo in later James Bond movies.
I can't get over Pierce's woven shoes - that he likes them and keeps buying them. Years ago I bought a pair of woven shoes, probably not his brand, and I'd loved them too, at first. Then, they eventually began to stretch out, because they were woven and became uncomfortably loose on my feet. I've never bought another pair of shoes like that. Once was enough.
