Brosnan: 007 makers will regret dropping me

Pierce Brosnan reckons the makers of the 007 films – in which he became one of the best James Bonds – will be sorry they ditched him for a younger star.

The 52-year-old Irishman has been replaced by English actor Daniel Craig for the next super agent adventure, Casino Royale, and leaves with the observation that even now the makers are "regretting their decision".

"Who knows," he adds, "if they made the right decision?"

"They’re probably wondering ‘What have we done?’"
