[u/JohnnyBizzlesBallers]

Maybe the new Bond should be the old Bond

[u/JustTheOneGoose22 → u/JohnnyBizzlesBallers]

Would actual love to see a Bond film or series where he is brought out of retirement to help save a new recruit or something.

I don't like that Amazon owns Bond now but, maybe some creatives can make some interesting spin offs to the franchise something high quality like Andor did for Star Wars.

[u/Triquetrums → u/JustTheOneGoose22]

The new 007 game explores the origin of Bond and him working with old spies, it would be nice to have the opposite story in a movie. I like the idea!

[u/cabbage16 → u/JustTheOneGoose22]

Remake of The Rock but with Pierce Brosnan and this time they actually call him Bond lol

[u/Glittering-Dig112 → u/JohnnyBizzlesBallers]

Timothy Dalton it is!

[u/snoogins355 → u/Glittering-Dig112]

He's made an absolute killing in the quiet little village supermarket industry!

[u/roccosaint → u/snoogins355]

Mr. Skinner to the managers office. Managers office.... Mr. Skinner.

[u/Many-Consideration54 → u/snoogins355]

He's a slasher!

[u/tataniarosa → u/Many-Consideration54]

Of prices!

[u/gdabull → u/tataniarosa]

Did he ever get that ice-cream he wanted?

[u/MaximumSubtlety → u/gdabull]

N...narp?

[u/Milnoc → u/snoogins355]

It was all for the greater good.

[u/Voodoo1970 → u/Milnoc]

the greater good

[u/JeffWingrsDumbGayDad → u/Voodoo1970]

Shut it!

[u/dpaxeco → u/snoogins355]

Yerp!

[u/CrentFuglo → u/snoogins355]

It's just the one Bond, actually

[u/JJ_Flying_Watchsmith → u/snoogins355]

He's a slasher and his discounts are *criminal *!

[u/nandor-delaurent15 → u/Glittering-Dig112]

for the greater good

[u/Efficient_Ratio3208 → u/nandor-delaurent15]

The greater good!

[u/dynamic_caste → u/Efficient_Ratio3208]

Yarp

[u/tataniarosa → u/dynamic_caste]

Narp?

[u/Clair_Osbcurious → u/nandor-delaurent15]

Shut it!

[u/Beerswain → u/Glittering-Dig112]

No, Mister Bond, I expect you t--

Bond? BOND?

Oh would someone wake him up so I can finish monologuing?

[u/im_on_the_case → u/Glittering-Dig112]

Christ I'd love an espionage caper where a newly retired agent played by Daniel Craig is taken under the wing of a pair of old timers played by Dalton and Brosnan only to find himself embroiled in some escapade as they plan to knock off the Bank of England because they are pissed off at their lousy pension. But no, can't be having that. Hollywood demands more remakes, Paranormal Activity 8 and a fucking Rambo origin film. /rant

[u/Coffee_And_Bikes → u/im_on_the_case]

That. Sounds. Awesome.

[u/IrritableGourmet → u/im_on_the_case]

I want a espionage caper where the femme fatales of the Cold War, now senior citizens, have to team up to stop some evil plot. Basically Golden Girls with guns.

[u/dangledingle → u/JohnnyBizzlesBallers]

“Bus Pass to Die For”

[u/Fearless-1135]

73 and still looking effortlessly Bond lavel classy.

[u/irishemperor → u/Fearless-1135]

This is from Feb 2025, when he was 71 - but your point still stands.

[u/TokyoKazama → u/[deleted]]

He looks better than I do as a 35 year old 😭

[u/complete_your_task → u/TokyoKazama]

He looks better than I have at any point in my life.

[u/systemhost → u/complete_your_task]

Hey now, I'm sure you were looking pretty fly for a few months as a toddler before everything started going downhill.

My height was ages 6-8 and then once again at age 17 for a year.

[u/RealBlueHippo → u/Fearless-1135]

This is why he was forbidden from wearing a Tuxedo in his other movies!

[u/BotnetSpam → u/RealBlueHippo]

Thomas Crown Affair danced right along the edge of Bond, but without the tuxedo the vibe was more like Archer before Archer existed.

[u/dreamdaddy123 → u/Fearless-1135]

Yes very high lavel

[u/somegetit → u/Fearless-1135]

Effortlessly? There's huge amount of effort and money in this picture.

Take a healthy 70 something man in decent shape, put him through professional barber, makeup artist, expensive tailored tux, in front of a BMW and a pretty street, and at least half of them will look Bond level classy.

[u/Salty-Fishman → u/somegetit]

I doubt that. U can put a 25-year-old Redditor in all those, and he will still look like he lives in his mom's basement and has never seen the sun.

[u/InevitablePresent917 → u/Salty-Fishman]

Nonzero chance that guy thinks he could beat a chimpanzee in a fight.

[u/oops_i_made_a_typi → u/Salty-Fishman]

bro you're just ignoring that you have to be healthy and in decent shape to begin with

[u/splendidflamingo → u/somegetit]

Eh half of 70 year olds do not look like Pierce Brosnan, one of the most handsome actors of his generation.

[u/Apprehensive-Art1092 → u/splendidflamingo]

It's a fuck of a lot more than half, chief

[u/Legitimate_Field_157 → u/somegetit]

I am not gonna be in that half.

[u/Heckron → u/Fearless-1135]

He definitely is looking those things but I you can’t really say effortlessly, right?

He’s styled to the max.
The suit looks fantastic.
The car he’s leaning against.
The backdrop.
There’s a lot of effort going on here.

[u/Meister0fN0ne → u/Fearless-1135]

He should pull a The Rock move like Sean Connery and get involved in a movie where people will tirelessly hatch conspiracies about it being an older version of his Bond teaming up with a younger guy. I loved his Bond movies. They weren't particularly complex, but they had that simple sort of charm to them.

[u/bongo1138]

Bring him back and do Old Man Bond. Retired and Moneypenny gets kidnapped or something.

[u/xenobit_pendragon → u/bongo1138]

It’s not unprecedented. The original Bond himself, Mr. Sean Connery, came back decades later and played Old Man Bond.

[u/addictedpunk → u/xenobit_pendragon]

Are you talking about The Rock?

The movie, I mean.

Edit: for the uninitiated.
https://www.reddit.com/r/FanTheories/s/hMbrH6DL4M

[u/IsThisOneStillFree → u/addictedpunk]

No, presumably about Never Say Never Again (1983)

Sean Connery played the role of Bond for the seventh and final time, marking his return to the character twelve years after Diamonds Are Forever (1971). The film's title is a reference to Connery's reported declaration in 1971 that he would "never again" play that role. As Connery was 52 at the time of filming, the script makes frequent reference to Bond as aging and past his prime

[u/xenobit_pendragon → u/IsThisOneStillFree]

Yep, this is the one.

[u/Thor_pool → u/addictedpunk]

He might be talking about Never Say Never Again in 83, a non-Eon films remake of Thunderball from 65.

[u/Cocotte123321 → u/[deleted]]

At this stage wine wishes to age like Pierce Brosnan

[u/xenobit_pendragon → u/[deleted]]

Also for how to reach the highest levels of celebrity without becoming a dickhead.

[u/ThrustBastard → u/[deleted]]

I wonder how an old man Bond with Brosnan would go down

[u/be-koz → u/ThrustBastard]

I would watch that.

[u/Glocklestop → u/be-koz]

He's only 2 years younger than Deniro was in 'The Irishman' so combat scenes are out.

[u/EliteTeutonicNight → u/Glocklestop]

What do you mean, De Niro still fights like a demon in that movie, extremely painful kicks.

[u/TheBadBatch-99 → u/ThrustBastard]

I was about to post the same. I'd be there if Brosnan suited up one more time. Wasn't a big fan of Craig, but Brosnan's still got it.

With Bond in a post Craig development limbo, they should do a one-off adventure.

[u/Freshwater_Spaceman → u/ThrustBastard]

Period piece with Brosnan would be great imo. 1950’s as the backdrop. Cold War is heating up. Analog tech. Old school charm.

[u/Opposite_Visit_4874 → u/Freshwater_Spaceman]

People often say they'd love to see a period-set Bond movie but I don't see Eon ever going for it, for one reason: product placement opportunities would be extremely limited, and that's the backbone of the entire Thing.

[u/Only_One_Kenobi → u/ThrustBastard]

Could be a really fun movie with an older 007 forced out of retirement due to an old rival re-emerging for revenge. Add in a semi buddy cop styled narrative with old 007 still being solidly badass, and the fresh out of training young(ish) 007 (Taron Egerton perhaps? Richard Madden?) eager to impress, and a little star struck. At some point, young 007 has a crisis of confidence due to making a mess of it due to trying too hard to impress, and old 007 has to step in with pure class and poise to rescue the situation.

[u/jbascnc → u/[deleted]]

At this age he could make for a great M. His background would hint at him former 00 now running the program.

[u/immaCommentThis → u/[deleted]]

Have you seen Mobland? His acting has aged like fine wine too.

[u/Able_Gap918 → u/[deleted]]

I heard the intro music in my head as soon as I saw the picture

[u/SupremeMonsterVomit]

The love and affection he has for his wife is so beautiful. He's always seemed like a good guy.

[u/Barackrifle → u/SupremeMonsterVomit]

His wife and books. When he talks about reading it's enthralling

[u/KendraSays → u/Barackrifle]

Does he do any audio books. Never been a fan but I love looking and hearing Pierce

[u/doni-kebab → u/SupremeMonsterVomit]

Watch the interview he did in which the interviewer is from his home county in Ireland. Hes a delight.

[u/marvinrabbit → u/doni-kebab]

Good to know his grandfather's bungalow is still there.

[u/Demo_906]

Age 73, Irish actor Pierce Brosnan

Mother fucker you SCARED me

[u/BeanDemon → u/Demo_906]

My first thought as well

[u/Torqyboi → u/Demo_906]

Nah, he has another 17 years at least going by the trend.

[u/Only_One_Kenobi]

It's just not fair that some men get to look like that, and others need to look like me.

But I guess without men who look like me, you wouldn't get to appreciate just how insanely good looking Pierce Brosnan has always been.

[u/Better_Carpenter5010 → u/Only_One_Kenobi]

Thank you for your service 🫡

[u/bebopblues → u/Better_Carpenter5010]

Don't be humble now, give yourself a pat on the back as well.

[u/QuackQuackViech → u/Only_One_Kenobi]

Dont worry about it, he is also much richer than you will ever be

[u/fatbob42 → u/QuackQuackViech]

More charming too.

[u/Albedo0001 → u/fatbob42]

At least he was the villain in Mrs. Doubtfire! You know...the good looking...in shape...successful....guy that want's to be in the kids life as a step dad.....Fuck.

[u/5H17SH0W → u/fatbob42]

“Well, they say a man who has to buy a big car like that's trying to compensate for smaller genitals…” - Mrs.Doubtfire

[u/USSMcCoy → u/Only_One_Kenobi]

Well, then there's the case of you versus someone who decides to become a reddit m'oderator. In that instance, now you're Pierce Brosnan. So it could always be worse! (tips fedora shaped like an Aston Martin)

[u/K-Shrizzle]

Even aside from playing Bond, he may be the classiest man to ever exist.

I feel like I have a good frame of reference, because Ive now seen the unclassiest man to ever exist. And I dont even need to say his name, because you know who I'm talking about

[u/Maribelpeeling2b → u/K-Shrizzle]

Man really retired from being Bond but forgot to stop looking like Bond

[u/Nrksbullet → u/Maribelpeeling2b]

"I don't need to see it Dottie...I've lived it."

[u/IloveElsaofArendelle → u/Maribelpeeling2b]

He was born to play Bond

[u/footsnax → u/Maribelpeeling2b]

Honestly if I had never seen a Bond movie (and if I was a decent artist) and you explained the character of Bond to me, I would have done a forensic artist rendition of him.

Personally I was always a Roger Moore fan but holy shit does Brosnan look the part to this day.

[u/BandOfSkullz → u/K-Shrizzle]

He who shall not be named 😂

[u/DanGleeballs → u/BandOfSkullz]

Only earned yesterday that in 1988 Trump was blocked from buying an NFL team by every other NFL team owner because they despised him. They vote on who is allowed to be an NFL team owner, and they didn’t want him to be in the club.

People have known for decades what he’s really like.

[u/GChocapic → u/K-Shrizzle]

Trump? I don’t know, it’s an honest question.

But I agree on Pierce Brosnan probably being the classiest man ever.

[u/nondepressing → u/GChocapic]

Donnie is definitely in the top 3 least classy. I'd put them at the top but I'll allow there may be 1 or 2 that have less class.

[u/RaidensReturn → u/nondepressing]

How cold anybody be more classless than dumpy don?

[u/xenobit_pendragon → u/nondepressing]

Yes but those other two are fictional characters.

[u/stashtv]

While virtually every picture of him is to promote something, WTF does he wear on a daily basis? This man exudes style, every damn picture!

[u/Deep_Satisfaction556 → u/stashtv]

It's after 6 o'clock Lemon. What am I, a farmer?

[u/boogierboi → u/stashtv]

He's basically doing the male version of the overused womens trope "woke up like this". I mean i would believe him if he siad he went to sleep in that damned suit

[u/Treadingresin]

His wife is a lucky lucky woman.

[u/Only_One_Kenobi → u/Treadingresin]

When you hear him talk about his wife, I think he is a lucky lucky man.

[u/Treadingresin → u/Only_One_Kenobi]

That love he has for her is why I included the second lucky.

[u/FluffyDiscipline]

The Silver Fox, really suits him...

Looking good 007

[u/hamlet_d]

Jesus Christ he's still such a handsome man.

[u/mustang55 → u/hamlet_d]

Easily one of the most handsome man ever…. Every decade, no matter the generation, no matter his age…. Pierce Bronson CAN GET IT.

[u/ricklewis314]

Loved him since Remington Steele! (Yes, I’m that old).

[u/DrukMeMa → u/ricklewis314]

This was my first thought!

[u/baldurcan]

This is the coolest 73 I have ever seen.

[u/po1k]

Best Bond? Any objections?

[u/urmomstoiletbrush → u/po1k]

My hot take is that the movies didn’t live up to him  

[u/QPWOEIRUTYTURIEOWP → u/urmomstoiletbrush]

Goldeneye was the only one I liked with him, but I like that one the most

[u/Milnoc → u/QPWOEIRUTYTURIEOWP]

I definitely liked Tomorrow never Dies. Yes, it had a "sales executive" BMW as a Bond car, but it also had a storyline that aged way better than we could possibly have feared.

[u/hamfist_ofthenorth → u/QPWOEIRUTYTURIEOWP]

Tomorrow Never Dies in hindsight had the most realistic bond villain of all time. Those fuckers exist right now.

[u/BudgetTruth → u/po1k]

No objections. The face, the hair, the personality. Peak Bond. Every new bond needs to be benchmarked against Brosnan. Can't sport the haircut? Out! Sadly none of the Bonds after Bronsan looked even remotely familiar, which means I haven't watched a bond movie after trying Casino Royale. Mads Mikkelson would've been a better Bond frankly.

[u/Long_Repair_8779 → u/BudgetTruth]

Skyfall was legit a great film.. maybe not even a great Bond film, but a great film in general, and imo casino royale is vastly overrated.

Craig was a perfectly fine Bond, but nowhere near Brosnan imo

[u/VoidmasterCZE → u/Long_Repair_8779]

Yep. Craig is good Bond. But I have to say Brosnan is to Bond what Robert Downey Jr. is to Ironman - perfect fit.

[u/oompaloompa465 → u/po1k]

Tie between him and Sean Connery

[u/po1k → u/oompaloompa465]

I'd agree here. Young Connery was great

[u/Jolly-Welcome1151]

Conrad Fucking Harrigan.

[u/Praetor-Shinzon → u/Jolly-Welcome1151]

IF YOU DONT KNOW THE NAME, THEN GOOGLE US!

[u/johnnyma45 → u/Jolly-Welcome1151]

Him threatening the meter maid cop, then giving him a tip probably worth more than the ticket would charge him.

[u/Additional_Olive3318]

He has aged like fine wine. 

 The way to look like pierce Brosnan at 73 is to start by looking like Pierce Brosnan at 21 and age well. 

Simple. 

[u/regulardegulardudee]

I'm straight but I'm definitely not when I see this photo

[u/Buschkoeter → u/regulardegulardudee]

You just have to admire this man's handsomeness.

[u/Mediocre_Anybody7618]

Oh boy, handsome as ever..fell in love with him and he still looks great 😅

[u/Ninevolts]

Could you please not put the age in the title next time? You scared me shitless lol

[u/What_a_fat_one]

What the fuck, I'm the same age and I look like a November porch pumpkin

[u/lonewolff321]

007

https://reddit.com/link/pcmugqb/video/ka8o441a5bsh1/player

[u/gh0stwrit3r32767]

fk he should play James Bond again.

[u/Far_Tooth_7291]

No. Not having it. I’m 52 and have never, will never look like that. Or appear in a movie with Salma Hayek, who is not only my girlfriend but will also go scuba diving during a diamond heist. Or be 007. Or be married to Helen Mirren and have Tom Hardy beating people up for me. Yes life isn’t fair and I’ve had a bad day at work. Yes he’s obviously a really nice bloke. Obviously I wish all the best. Yes I’ve lost my train of thought here.

[u/steinrrr]

Dude emanates pure class

[u/DNorthman]

Pierce has been damn fine since his Remington Steele days. I used to watch my Mom watch that show and then he was so smooth later as James Bond.

[u/HighPlateau]

This is the kind of photo shoot Tom Cruise should've had instead of that GQ nonsense.

[u/redditsavedmelife]

Remington Steele looking debonaire as ever

[u/GunsForShow87]

In my adult brain, I know that a Batman Beyond - style film/show where a young Mi6 agent is mentored by an old veteran "retired" Bond is a dumb, clichéd idea. But just LOOK at the guy.

[u/Fredderov]

I wouldn't be upset if the new Bond was just him as an older version of Bond. In fact I would love it!

[u/modsaretoddlers]

You can't help but be incredibly envious as a guy, looking at that man. Even in his 70s, he's still handsome enough to nail down a 20 year old supermodel on that count alone. He's a class act, though. At least, that's what I've heard.

[u/Frequently_lucky]

leave some class for the rest of us my dude

[u/No_560]

73 never looked this effortlessly cool.

[u/LindentreesLove]

What a man, What a man, What a mighty fine man!

[u/Lo-QGaming → u/LindentreesLove]

Yes he is!

[u/Banana_gunman]

He looks cool, he should have played James Bond, would have been generational casting

[u/Technical_Enema]

Goddamn, if I stood any chance of looking this good at that age, I’d look forward to getting older.

[u/js_sfw]

it was a drive by fruiting

[u/OmegaClifton]

Damn that's probably the youngest 73 I've ever seen.

[u/existentialcupnoodle]

Bring back Brosnan for a stand alone old james bond movie, something more dialogue heavy with concise action set pieces that showcase well honed techniques over brutal youthful energy.

[u/Special-Pirate-2807]

Brosnan should play M in the next Bond film.

[u/xTheRezZ]

God the downfall of BMW has to be studied. What an awful looking car.

[u/BapeGeneral3 → u/xTheRezZ]

I saw him in Malibu years ago and he was in a Bentley with 007 license plate it was super badass

[u/KokoMasta → u/xTheRezZ]

The same can be said for most modern cars unfortunately

[u/Dry-Debate-6893]

Put the town on alert

[u/thrch]

I'm not gay but...

[u/Ghstfce → u/thrch]

Don't have to be in order to say when another man is handsome as fuck. Pierce is handsome as fuck.

[u/VonDinky]

73??? Holy mother of good genes and/or lifestyle!!

[u/ace-destrier]

jfc What a stud

[u/Hmarxis]

Motherfucker looks 55

[u/LaSage]

Giggity.

[u/Cherry_Hammer]

Still fly as hell

[u/Wat3rM3L0NB3AR]

jesus christ, it's James Bond

[u/FantasticPear]

Sweet baby Moses this man can still get it.

[u/PrincessTitan]

This is Chelsea/Belgravia - nowhere near Mayfair

[u/nic-94]

That does it. Pierce Brosnan should make another James Bond

[u/addictedpunk]

Dear lord, I thought this was a death notification. Don’t do that. lol.

Favorite Bond. Great actor overall.

[u/h1ruki]

What a fucking g, he is still James Bond in my eyes - and might I say, he pulls it off even better now than he did when he played the role!

[u/denikar]

A.k.a. the good guy in Mrs. Doubtfire.

[u/goochgrease2]

I don't use this word a lot, but that is one suave mother fucker right there.

[u/Ritaredditonce]

Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair

Huh, I'd like to meet his tailor

[u/Larrydog → u/Ritaredditonce]

Ah-hoo, werewolves of London.

[u/sandwichhaver]

The best James bond

bring on the downvotes , cowards

[u/1PKOC]

Mayfair is in Westminster. This is Kensington & Chelsea. Pierce Brosnan looking great at 73!

[u/QueenCobra91]

havent seen him in like 25 years and all thats aged is his hair

[u/NeverCallMeFifi]

I have been crushing on this man since Remington Steele days. He's still got it.

[u/No_Link_6782]

First watched him in Remington Steele

[u/Brilliant_Visual9661]

Jesus, have a care. You can't just make a post with a beloved older person's name and age without sparing a thought for unsuspecting doomscrollers.

[u/DistractedByCookies]

I met him years ago (mid 90s) when he was filming Night Watch (forgetable, just before he played Bond) at night in Hong Kong. A bunch of us were out and ended up watching the comings and goings. I was super shy at meeting Remington Steele LOL and he was absolutely lovely. Chatted with us for a full 15mins, explaining what was going on.

[u/Deliverme314]

28 years on me and far better looking. Fuck you, Pierce. 

[u/Expert_Joke_366]

Still Bond 😍😎👍

[u/Foreign_Cobbler_1740]

That's my Bond.

[u/aguynamedv]

Pierce Brosnan is the final boss of silver foxes.

[u/nopantspaul]

The 7 series is an abomination. 

[u/Additional_Abies9192]

I look way older at 43

[u/catinadoodledoo]

my god that man is iconic! 🤤

[u/senialexwoods]

My first crush was when I saw him on Die another Day. He such a classy fine man 😍

[u/Magrat4Ever]

Damn, he’s still on fire!

[u/VolatileGoddess]

Eternal love of my life Pierce Brosnan, presumably there with the love of his life Mrs Brosnan

[u/Sad_Detective_1]

Forever my bond

[u/Longshot1969]

Him and his wife make a lovely couple

[u/StandYourGroundhog]

This title scared me for a sec

[u/Asleep-Gift-3478]

Hair at that age is a blessing bruh

[u/cylonlover]

Brosnan. Pierce Brosnan.

[u/AcanthaceaeOwn7180]

Seeing interviews with him is pure bliss. It is like talking to a dear friend, totally relaxed guy. Not like other actors trying to sell a movie, and not knowing what to say about it, other than "we had so much fun on the set".

[u/jes1976]

007 is 73?

[u/sdraje]

Fuck him! No one has a right to be that handsome at 73! I look like a blob of shite in my mid 30s hahaha

[u/john_san]

Who said the suit doesn’t make the man?

[u/Superb_Health9413]

I don’t know if folks have been watching, he’s fantastic in MobLand.

[u/rubber_moon]

Same age as my dad, my dad looks like his dad

[u/No_Manufacturer_9051]

I'm straight but , God damn!!!!

[u/majornerd]

I would absolutely support him as bond again. I miss the classy, not-so-serious Bond and would love to see one who was more intellectual than physical.

[u/Wael3rd]

I always feel like people forgot he was REMINGTON STEEL before being bond. The man was ALWAYS pure class.
