Pierce Brosnan says he loved dressing up in Lycra

30-Jul-2008 • Actor News

Pierce Brosnan loved wearing Lycra in new movie Mamma Mia!, reports News24.

The former James Bond actor - who is usually seen on the big screen in smart suits - admits it was great fun donning a skin-tight catsuit for the final scene in the ABBA-inspired musical.

He said: "It was so funny. Myself and my co-stars Colin Firth and Stellan Skarsgard all wanted to get into Lycra - to dress up and explore our feminine side."

"We got into the costumes in our own dressing rooms and then came out into the corridor.

"We looked at each other, took photos and started mincing around."

The 55-year-old actor also admits it was strange filming some of Mamma Mia! at Britain's Pinewood studios after spending so much time there shooting the four Bond movies he starred in.

He added: "It was ironic that we filmed at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire where we shot the Bond movies.

"I could just imagine being dressed up in spandex and bumping into the new Bond Daniel Craig. He'd be standing there all butch and macho and being Bond, while I was in my Lycra."
