Pierce Brosnan has yet to see Daniel Craig as 007 - 'I didn't go near it'

Bond News - 26-01-10

Former James Bond star Pierce Brosnan revealed this week that that he has never watched Daniel Craig as 007.

“I haven’t seen Daniel in the role. I tried watching [Casino Royale] on an airplane,” he says. “I thought 37,000 feet was a good distance to watch it from and it broke down right at the beginning. The attendant came and changed it and it broke down a second time, so I figured ‘OK. The Gods must be saying something . . .’

“So I never went near it! I just thought, ‘let sleeping dogs lie.’ I got the Academy screener for the last one [Quantum of Solace] and I turned it on for my boys and I left them to it. I didn’t go near it.”
