Brosnan winds up Madonna on the set of DAD

16-Oct-2002 • Die Another Day

In an interview with GQ Magazine, Pierce Brosnan revealed his sparky on-set relationship with Madoona - who had a small cameo role as Bond`s instructor during the fencing scene at Blades Club.

"She definitely pushes your button, and I made that mistake," admits Brosnan after a run-in with Madge on the set of new Bond film Die Another Day. So what happened to ruffle Madonna`s feathers? "The guys in the trailer were joking around the day that she was on set, singing Like a Virgin."

I`m miles away, and I`m out there with my saber and she`s all dressed up in her costume and I forget that she`s there and I start singing Like A Virgin," says Brosnan. "And oh man, Jesus! That`s like a red rag to a bull. She thought that I was pulling her chain. She said, `Are you trying to dis me?` and I said, `No, Madonna. No, for God`s sake, No!` You definitely don`t want to upset Madonna!"

The two made up, however, and Pierce was clear to state: "Madonna is a great choice. She gets out there and struts her stuff. The song she does is great, too. She said, `Don`t worry, I won`t let you down,` and I said, `Okay,` and she hasn`t." Rumour also has it that Pierce asked for Madonna to be kept away from the set when he shot his steamy love scenes with the other Bond girl, Halle Berry, although the actor has vehemently denied it: "Keep Madonna away? Oh no, dear Madonna. Listen, I`m a big fan of Madonna`s before you say anything else. I think she`s dynamite."

Thanks to `Rumpole` for the alert.
