The press repeatedly appeared on the topic "Who will become the new James Bond, if Daniel Craig left?". The public was racking its brains, the journalists were building versions, bookmakers accepted bets. In the end, Mr. Craig still decided to stay and play his favorite character in the 25th, anniversary film about the 007 agent.
Interestingly, what does the previous James Bond think about it, Pierce Brosnan? This Irish actor told in his recent interview:
"If Craig plays in the next part of the adventures of James Bond, I'll be just glad. Want - believe, want - no, but he likes me! The superagent that he got - a guy that you need. It's bright, dynamic, just great. I think he came at the right time. It was then, when the franchise needed to "pour in" fresh blood. I believe that Craig, my heir, does an excellent job of this task. "
Understand and let go
Pierce Brosnan in the same interview told how difficult it was for him when it was time to abandon the role of James Bond:
"For me it would be a really painful blow. Everything was aggravated by the fact that I myself knew that in this project it was time to change something. It was necessary to air my Bond's suit of dust, to allow him more freedom on the screen. I understood that there was not enough passion in films, fire, it would be necessary to take care of love scenes, but not frank and vulgar, but really sincere. You will not believe, but in Bondiana even the nipples were taboo. Simply, nobody wanted to be substituted, and I so wanted to invest in this role more heat, emotions. Nobody allowed me this. One day a call came, I was sure that I was invited to take pictures and tell about the new location. But they told me that they no longer need my services. I understand that this is just a business, Bond was needed younger than me. But there is one problem: we were constantly told that we were one family. Strange as it was done with a family member after 10 years of work in 4 paintings. I was very hurt when the producers forced me to leave this "family".
