The actor is considered the best performer of the role of James Bond after Sean Connery, while, according to all the same comparative estimates, his agent 007 turned out to be the most gentle for all the strength and brutality inherent in the hero. True, what is happening with Bond now, Pierce does not like. With each new film, the franchise is getting darker, Brosnan said in an interview with The Rake, and the directors seem to have forgotten about the sense of humor.

Pierce Brendan Brosnan was born in May 1953 in the Irish port town of Drogheda, 56 km from Dublin. The childhood of the future James Bond cannot be called happy. His father, a carpenter by trade, left the family when Pierce was barely a year old. Mom immediately went to London, where she got a job in a hospital. The son remained in the care of his grandparents in the city of Navan, which Brosnan considers to be his family.

When his grandparents died, Pierce Brosnan lived with his aunt's family for some time, but soon ended up in a boarding school at the Roman Catholic Church, where he attended school and served at the church altar. The pupils of the school were subjected to corporal punishment and were kept in severity and asceticism.

Mom took her son from school when he was 11 years old. At that time, Mae Smith had a personal life and remarried. Pierce developed a warm relationship with his stepfather. The boy continued his studies at a London school. At the age of 16, Brosnan became a student at the renowned Art College Saint Maritine Center, where he studied as an illustrator. There he had a dream to connect his life with the world of cinema. This happened after watching the movie "Goldfinger", in which the role of 007 was played by Sean Connery.

However, the path to the screen was not close. After graduating from college, Pierce Brosnan took a job in a department store. The young man worked as a designer, barker and took on any job. Brosnan decided to become a theater and film artist after attending an avant-garde theater school. Pierce dropped out of department store and entered the London School of Drama. In his free time, he had to make a living washing dishes in cafes, cleaning, and delivering food. The guy even worked as an assistant worker in a factory.

The creative biography of Pierce Brosnan started from the stage of the Royal Theater. The young actor was noticed by the famous playwright Tennessee Williams and was invited to play the role of McCabee in the production of "The Battery Sign of the Red Devil Concern".

In 1977, the actor brilliantly played in "Filumena" by Franco Dziffirelli. But a narrow circle of theatergoers knew the name of Brosnan. Recognition came to him in the early 1980s, when viewers saw him in the miniseries "The Manion Family Seeking Happiness." Immediately after this tape came another - "Nancy Astor". For this role, Pierce Brosnan received his first award - a nomination for a Golden Globe.

The artist's career soared up. Brosnan was offered to star in the hit TV series Remington Steel in California. For 5 years, Pierce Brosnan has been busy filming this crime tape as the main character, but manages to appear in several more films. Some of them are becoming popular. The films "Stranglers", "Around the World in 80 Days" and "Mrs. Doubtfire" were warmly received by viewers and film critics.

On the set of For Your Eyes Only, actress Cassandra Harris introduced her young colleague to the producer of the James Bond project, Albert Broccoli, who expressed a desire to make Brosnan another British intelligence agent. Broccoli succeeded in carrying out these plans in the summer of 1994. Pierce signed a contract with a renowned producer for 3 films at once.

For the first time, Pierce Brosnan appeared in the image of James Bond in 1995. This year there was a picture called "Golden Eye". The blockbuster grossed $ 350 million at the box office.

In 2005, the Irish actor was nominated for a Golden Globe for his work in the satirical film Matador. Further in the creative career of Brosnan, there was a lull. Pierce's appearance in the musical film Mamma Mia! critics consider it unfortunate: for this work the artist was awarded the Golden Raspberry anti-award.

Also, not everyone liked the plot of the Ransom thriller, which centered on the characters of Pierce, Maria Bello and Gerard Butler. Brosnan appeared in the form of a stranger, forcing the head of the family to complete difficult and sometimes cruel tasks. In case of resistance, he threatens to kill the spouses' daughter. At the end of the film, it turns out that the idea to mock her husband came to the mind of his wife, who found out about his infidelity.

In 2009, Pierce Brosnan managed to rehabilitate himself: the film by Roman Polanski "The Phantom" brought the actor a prize at the Berlin Festival.

Two-thirds of Pierce Brosnan's fans are women. There is nothing to be surprised at: the actor is as handsome as Apollo. He claims that he treats his appearance with a grain of humor, as a "tool" for work. Pierce's height is 1.88 m.Brosnan, by his own example, refutes the conventional opinion that handsome men are windy.

In 1977, the Irish actor on the set met his future wife, Australian Cassandra Harris. In 1980, Pierce and Cassandra got married and moved to Wimbledon. Later the press wrote that the Bond girl nevertheless became the wife of agent 007: Harris was considered for this role in the film "For Your Eyes Only", but she played a different heroine.

Cassandra already had two children born in a previous marriage - daughter Charlotte Emily and son Christopher. After the death of their father, they took the surname Brosnan. In 1983, the couple had a son, Sean. The actors' happy family life ended the day Harris became aware of his fatal illness. The actress was diagnosed with cancer. The woman died in 1991.
