Brosnan pads up during fight sequence

27-Jul-2002 • Die Another Day

The Daily Telegraph have published a small piece about the filming of the sword fighting sequence in "Die Another Day":

Even such a dashing a figure as Pierce Brosnan isn`t above feeling insecure about properly filling the boots previously worn in the past by Sean Connery and Roger Moore. "Pierce has got chicken legs, and he`s very aware of them." Says Peterborough`s man on the set of the latest Bond flick Die Another Day. "There`s this fencing scene in the film where he has to wear breeches and stockings, so he decided the only thing for it was to pad out his calves to make his legs look more manly."

"At one point though, his right `muscle` actually slipped down to his ankle. That caused a few sniggers, as you can imagine."
