Alone at home in Hawaii , the 66-year-old actor begins to tell many anecdotes linked to the shooting of Martin Campbell's film.

Suddenly, at the turn of a sequence, the eternal interpreter of the series Remington Steele evokes his highly improbable meeting with ... Quentin Tarantino, in 2004. "One fine day, while I was passing through Los Angeles, tells the ex-007, I met Quentin Tarantino at the Four Seasons hotel, one evening coming up from the beach. I was expected at 7 p.m. I like to be punctual, I am always punctual. "

The Irish actor then continues: “At 7.15pm someone came to see me ... but not Quentin. He explained to me that Tarantino was upstairs responding to interviews regarding the release of " Kill Bill Vol .2 ". This someone brought me a Martini. So I drank a Martini. I waited until 7:30 p.m. and thought, " Where the hell is he? »I then received a note on which we wrote:« A thousand Excuses! " So I thought, " Well, I'm going to have another Martini! " .

You are the best James Bond! I want to make James Bond with you!

" We were pretty tipsy ," recalls Brosnan. Tarantino tapped on the table, shouting, "You're the best James Bond! I want to make James Bond with you! ”

As Tarantino was quite unleashed, Pierce Brosnan tried to calm him down without success. "But, you know, we don't tell Quentin Tarantino to calm down," he admits today, not without an ounce of humor.

Brosnan concludes his anecdote with a final sentence: "No James Bond for Quentin Tarantino. Pity. It could have been a good movie! People would have been curious to see it… ”
