Pierce Brosnan leaves the door open for James Bond by stating he never officially stepped down as 007

Pierce Brosnan has sensationally left the door open for a fifth adventure as James Bond 007 today by denying stories of his retirement from the role.

In an interview with LA Confidential magazine, Brosnan hit back at media reports that he has quit from his role and would never return to the tuxedo.

LAC: Pierce, you recently announced that you were finished playing James Bond…
PB: There was no announcement. I think the reporter heard it wrong. I think what I said was, “I’ve had my fill of talking about Bond.”

LAC: So there was not an official announcement that you were finished doing Bond films?
PB: It was not an official announcement.

LAC: So what is next for you?
PB: A black comedy called The Matador, which comes out in the spring. Now I’m looking at drama scripts. I want to do something that has some meat on it.
