Brosnan: I was just getting used to being Bond

Pierce Brosnan was "just getting the hang" of playing James Bond when he was axed from the movie series.

The 61-year-old actor - who played the suave spy in four films, ending with 'Die Another Day' in 2002 - was asked to extend his contract for a fifth outing after getting to grips with the iconic role, but studio bosses then changed their minds.
