Pierce Brosnan has said that he disliked his version of the James Bond character and his portrayal of 007.
Speaking to The Telegraph, Brosnan said: “I felt I was caught in a time warp between Roger [Moore] and Sean [Connery]. It was a very hard one to grasp the meaning of, for me.”
“The violence was never real, the brute force of the man was never palpable. It was quite tame, and the characterisation didn’t have a follow-through of reality, it was surface. But then that might have had to do with my own insecurities in playing him as well.” When asked whether or not he ever watches the Bond movies he starred in, Brosnan replied: “I have no desire to watch myself as James Bond. ‘Cause it’s just never good enough. It’s a horrible feeling.”
Pierce Brosnan stars in The Love Punch, which is set to release in the UK on April 18th. The movie, which also stars Emma Thompson, focuses upon a divorced couple attempting to retrieve their retirement money that was stolen from them.
