Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: Every serious 007 fan is heavily invested in the hunt
- 0:06Speaker 1: for the next James Bond, but probably not as much
- 0:08Speaker 1: so as one of the guys who's actually played him before,
- 0:10Speaker 1: Pierce Brosnan. Rumor is the search has been narrowed down
- 0:13Speaker 1: to the four, with Callum Turner and Jack Loden appearing
- 0:16Speaker 1: to be the frontrunners. And while Pierce took a very
- 0:19Speaker 1: diplomatic stance when asked by Vanity Fair who he prefers,
- 0:23Speaker 1: he did have strong things to say about one in particular.
- 0:26Speaker 2: Yeah, Callum and Pierce were actually co-stars back in 2017
- 0:31Speaker 2: in The Only Living Boy in New York. And Pierce
- 0:33Speaker 2: walked away from the shoot very impressed with Callum. He
- 0:37Speaker 2: says he's particularly strong.
- 0:38Speaker 3: But he also says that all the men on the
- 0:40Speaker 3: final list now are actors that he genuinely admires and
- 0:43Speaker 3: that they have a voice and a physique and a
- 0:45Speaker 3: presence on film and a sense of longevity as an actor.
- 0:49Speaker 1: Pierce adds that whoever gets the role, he wishes them
- 0:51Speaker 1: the best, along with strength and courage, because a lot
- 0:54Speaker 1: comes with the role. But he's just as excited as
- 0:56Speaker 1: the rest of us to find out who the next
- 0:58Speaker 1: Bond will be. That's direct from Hollywood.
