Pierce Brosnan couldn't help but comment on what he thinks of Aaron Taylor-Johnson stepping into the shoes of James Bond after all the rumors that have made headlines in recent weeks about the possibility of him being the new 007.
The role of James Bond is, possibly, one of the most coveted by actors. Playing the legendary 007 is an honor for any performer who wants to succeed in Hollywood and since it was announced that Daniel Craig would no longer continue playing the character, the bets and rumors have not stopped growing.
The latest name to come out is that of actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson, as a source confirmed that the 33-year-old performer could be the lucky one, and that a firm offer had been made to him. So he is the one who has gone the furthest in the process.
As a result of this, many details of his private life came to light to try to learn more about who could give life to the new James Bond, such as the fact that there is a 24-year difference between him and his wife, but Aaron had to respond bluntly because they arose. multiple criticisms of his marriage and family life.
Now, the person who has spoken about Taylor-Johnson and his possibility of being James Bond has been none other than Pierce Brosnan, a veteran who played the character in four films between 1995 and 2002.
"I think the man has the skills, the talent and the charisma to play Bond, in spades," he told The Ray D'Arcy Show.
The 70-year-old actor worked with Taylor-Johnson in the 2009 film The Greatest, so he knows him and really sees him as an option to replace Craig. In fact, he has referred to that film as well.
"He was the best. So, yeah, I've read the news about his chances of being a Bond. I definitely take my hat off to that guy," Brosnan finished.
It is not the first time that Pierce Brosnan comments on who could be a good candidate for the role of Bond. Cillian Murphy, recent winner of the Oscar for Best Actor, had to step aside and rule himself out as a possible 007 after the interpreter commented that he would choose him to play this role.
Although it is still not 100% known who will be the lucky one who will play the most famous secret agent of all time, what can be said is that it is attracting a lot of interest and rumors that grow more every day and have fans in love. I'm waiting to find out if Johnson finally closes the deal.
