Forget 007 – Pierce Brosnan’s New Role Was For His Kids
Pierce Brosnan’s two young sons – Dylan (12) and Paris (8) talked him into his newest film role, and no it wasn’t of him playing a martini guzzling, womanizing, world weary spy.
Bronsnan’s newest part was playing a half-man, half horse character in Percy Jackson and the Oympians: The Lightning Thief directed by Peter Jackson. Brosnan told Parade that…
“I bought the book three or four years ago for my son, who’s now 12, and then forgot about it,” he said. “So we were there having dinner one night, and I said, ‘They want me to be in this film called Percy Jackson and the Olympians. My son said, ‘You got me the book but I never read it.’ He checked it out and went, ‘Oh, this is good. You’ve got to do it dad, you’ve got to do it.’”
And what did his kids think of the film? He told Entertainment Tonight that “My eight-year-old said, ‘It’s the best film you’ve made, Dad’. That was like getting an Oscar.”
Awww, sweet. Wait until they become teenager and realize their dad was James Bond, there’s some bonus points there for sure!
