"I am the sexiest man in the world! I know I am. I read it!"
In true Hollywood fashion, Pierce Brosnan set his heart on becoming Bond after seeing 'Goldfinger' as a child. He was first offered the part in 1986, only to be prevented from taking it by contractual obligations to 'Remington Steele'. So it was not until 1995 that he burst on to the big screen as 007 in 'GoldenEye'.
After four phenomenally successful Bond films, Brosnan now has the chance to show his acting talents to a wider audience and to advance beyond the Bond mantle. He has set up a production company, Irish Dreamtime, and has taken the role of producer on films such as 'The Thomas Crown Affair' and 'Evelyn', in which he also starred.
Including the release of 'Die Another Day' and 'Evelyn', this revealing biography by York Membery reveals all about one of Hollywood's hottest starts.
