Brosnan: I never wanted to be Bond

Former James Bond star Pierce Brosnan's first cinema experience was watching Goldfinger but he never wanted to play 007 as a boy.

The Irish actor saw the 1964 Sean Connery movie with his parents in Putney, London.

He recalls: "I loved the naked lady on the bed. I was agog with that, and I loved the fella with the hat, Oddjob, but I never wanted to be James Bond. I didn't really identify with him.

"I would have settled for Oddjob - character work."
