When queried about Mirren’s remarks concerning the British spy character he played in the ’90s and early ’00s, Brosnan responded: “She didn’t hold back. Indeed, there’s a sense of understanding between us.

He mentioned: “However, there’s a particular scope and flexibility within the stage setting, as defined by Ian Fleming. Therefore, there will always be disagreements or conflicts.

During an interview with The Standard, Dame Judi Dench expressed her admiration for Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig, who have portrayed James Bond in films, though she personally isn’t fond of the character himself.

In a recent statement, Mirren expressed that she was not particularly fond of Bond (Pierce Brosnan) as a character. However, she made it clear that she is an immense admirer of Pierce Brosnan himself. She went on to say that he’s simply amazing, incredibly good-looking, and she thinks he’s fantastic in the movie “MobLand.” But what truly sets him apart, according to Mirren, is his exceptional kindness as a person, making him one of the most delightful individuals with whom she has had the privilege to collaborate.

Additionally, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Daniel Craig personally, and I can attest that he is not only a talented actor but also a genuinely kind and gracious individual.

She added: “The entire James Bond series didn’t appeal to me at all. Not by a long shot. I’ve never been fond of James Bond, and I’ve always found the portrayal of women in the series problematic.

In the series titled “MobLand“, Brosnan and Mirren portray Conrad and Maeve Harrigan, a married pair with control over a formidable London criminal empire.

Conrad and Maeve Harrigan, played by Brosnan and Mirren respectively, are in charge of a strong London crime family depicted in the show “MobLand“.
