Brosnan slams McGregor Bond snub

Irish heart-throb Pierce Brosnan has branded the producers of the iconic James Bond movies "stupid" for dismissing Ewan McGregor as too short for the coveted role.

The 52-year-old, who made his debut as the superspy in 1995's Goldeneye, was controversially axed from the role earlier this year (05) and speculation over the identity of his successor has been rife ever since.
