Pierce Brosnan

In this thriller, directed by Roger Donaldson, Brosnan plays a legendary ex-CIA agent who emerges from retirement to protect a witness, but his mission lands him in the sights of his former protégé in this cat-and-mouse spy thriller based on the novel There are no Spies by Bill Granger. Co-starring Luke Bracey and Olga Kurylenko.

That ambiguity and the ambivalence of his moral stance is something that was appealing. He’s a cultured badass, he’s a seasoned, sassy operative who’s played the game a long time, and been manipulated himself over many years.

Brosnan plays Martin, in this drama directed by Pascal Chaumeil. Martin meets three other people on New Year’s Eve and together they form a surrogate family to help one another weather the difficulties of their lives. Co-starring Toni Collette and Imogen Poots.

I don’t think Martin was very good at his job. He knew he wasn’t very good at his job. He was probably a failed actor who stumbled into the world of breakfast TV and was more enamored by making people laugh and playing the buffoon within it all, and then, got found out, really.

In this comedy, directed by Douglas McGrath, Brosnan plays Jack Abelhammer. Kate Reddy struggles daily to balance the demands of her high-powered career with the needs of her husband and children. When she gets an account that requires frequent trips to New York and her husband gets a new job, Kate finds herself spread even thinner. Complicating Kate’s life even more is new business associate Abelhammer, who throws temptation into the mix. Co-starring Sarah Jessica Parker and Kelsey Grammer.

I do love the notion of the younger woman, as I’m now the older man. You see it in men, that fear that the clock is ticking, the clock is ticking, and women become more and more beautiful, every age group. It just becomes this lustfulness of yearning and want. There are just so many gorgeous women and your attitude to time and the ticking of it, and what could have been.
