Pierce Brosnan still misses the James Bond role

Pierce Brosnan would prefer if you still called him Bond – James Bond, reports ABC News.

In a recent interview with ABC News Now’s “Popcorn With Peter Travers,” the star of Roman Polanski’s new movie, “The Ghost Writer,” revealed that he’s still wondering why he got booted from the Bond franchise in 2004. Brosnan played the international man of mystery in “GoldenEye,” “Tomorrow Never Dies,” “The World Is Not Enough” and “Die Another Day.”

“I was wondering why the door closed on me!,” he said of being dropped from the role. “I thought everything was going so well! You know ‘Come back,’ they say, ‘Come back’ and there you go! We won’t talk about that.

Though he may bemoan how his stint as Bond ended, Brosnan feels blessed to have played the iconic character. So if you see him, go ahead and call him 007.

“They call me out, ‘Hey James, hey Bond,’ and I wear it with pride,” Brosnan said of his fans. “I had the greatest time in my life, making that character, being part of that franchise.”
