Brosnan: 'My spandex costume is a hoot'

Pierce Brosnan has revealed that dressing up in a sequined spandex costume for his role in Mamma Mia! was "a hoot".

Brosnan, who stars opposite Meryl Streep in next month's musical adaptation, said he fantasised about meeting Daniel Craig in the outfit.

He told the Daily Record: "I thought it was a hoot. One of my daydreams was that I'd be strutting across the parking lot in sequined tights and a cape, and I would bump into Daniel Craig, looking very Bond-like."

Brosnan also admitted that he still resents the manner in which he was replaced by Craig in the James Bond franchise.

"Losing Bond hurt me like mad. It was painful and unexpected," he said. "No one contacted me to tell me anything. No reason."

However, he was quick to praise his successor, saying Craig deserves credit after being met with initial apprehension.

"I'm happy for him. He came in for a lot of flak, a lot of unnecessary flak. He's a superb actor, so all glory to him," he commented.
