As speculation swirls around who will fill Daniel Craig’s iconic shoes as James Bond, another former 007, Pierce Brosnan, weighs in on the Aaron Taylor-Johnson rumors, giving the actor his vote of confidence.
Brosnan, who portrayed Bond in four films during the 1990s and early 2000s, recently shared his thoughts on Taylor-Johnson’s potential as the next Bond. Speaking on The Ray D’Arcy Show on RTÉ Radio 1, Brosnan praised Taylor-Johnson’s talent, charisma, and suitability for the role.
Recalling their collaboration on the 2009 film The Greatest, Brosnan fondly remembered Taylor-Johnson’s standout performance, affirming his belief in the actor’s ability to embody the suave secret agent.
Should Taylor-Johnson secure the coveted role, Brosnan advises him to embrace the opportunity wholeheartedly and enjoy the experience to the fullest.
Brosnan’s endorsement adds to the growing support for Taylor-Johnson’s casting as Bond, with fellow former Bond star George Lazenby also expressing confidence in the Bullet Train actor’s potential to carry on the iconic legacy.
With backing from Bond veterans like Brosnan and Lazenby, Taylor-Johnson’s chances of donning the tuxedo and stepping into the shoes of MI6’s finest are looking increasingly promising.
