Pierce Brosnan Gets Choked Up When Interviewer Is From His Hometown

Crossy sat down to chat with 007 himself, Pierce Brosnan. The legendary actor talks about joining the DC universe as Doctor Fate. They also discuss working with Daywne Johnson and reminisce about his home in Ireland, Navan.

About Black Adam:
From New Line Cinema, Dwayne Johnson stars in the action-adventure “Black Adam.” The first-ever feature film to explore the story of the DC Super Hero comes to the big screen under the direction of Jaume Collet-Serra (“Jungle Cruise”). Nearly 5,000 years after he was bestowed with the almighty powers of the ancient gods—and imprisoned just as quickly—Black Adam (Johnson) is freed from his earthly tomb, ready to unleash his unique form of justice on the modern world.

Black Adam is in cinemas now.

For those unaware, nothing really happens in Navan and no one really leaves Navan. For Pierce to meet someone who had come so far a field in a similar line of work must be really touching

Brosnan’s accent went full Irish when he started talking about his home.

[TheRodentSama]

I love how Pierce's accent went MORE Irish when he realised where the interviewer was from.
I do the same damned thing when I speak to old friends. I have a neutral accent, but once I hear a Scottish accent, I uncontrollably turn back to my original accent.

It's something in the blood.

[BABartz]

The interviewer did a great job. The whole thing came off as a natural conversation between two friends.

[AutoRevLife]

Brosnan's entire body language changed when he heard "Navan". The interview mask fell and we saw the real him come out. He got so lost in the memories of times past and it was wonderful to see him so happy

[PeterCombs]

Pierce is one of the good guys, a good husband, a good dad, thoughtful...never a scandal..acts, entertains and lives his life. Very admirable man.

[woodrobin]

That look when he echoes the statement "the first superhero from Navan": you can see his heart is so full of memories and emotion.

[bhoqeem]

"I'm not very good at lying--except when I'm acting."
That's crucial.

[queenfan]

The way he physically relaxes as soon as he learns the interviewer is from Navan is amazing.

[dirtymcghee]

He went from James Bond to a sweet Irish Great Uncle in a second

[jamjam]

I absolutely love the way he lit up here, this was wholesome. It just shows, that no matter how long he's been mingling with the Hollywood elite, he's still that humble and kind man from Navan. You can't hide that, this revealed the true him, and what a truly wonderful person he is.

[guessweredointhis]

There's something so utterly genuine in the way Pierce says "very well" after being asked "how're you keeping". Like watching someone walking back into a warm room from the cold.

[JessHart]

I really enjoy the moment when Pierce asks Thomas where he's from, because there's a bit of that celebrity reserve where he's preparing to act surprised by something he thinks will underwhelm him. It's not arrogance or disinterest; he's just long in a world where people present the mundane as fascinating, and it's part of his job to play along. So when he hears "Navan" he is truly thunderstruck, and all of that celebrity armor falls away. A person professionally unsurprised is taken aback in the most delighted way possible.

[HectorTheGr]

Pierce Brosnan really deserved an Oscar nomination for his role in The Matador (2005). He plays a hitman going through depression and it's a beautiful, albeit forgotten, performance by him. He's such a talented actor.

[FEARisCOLD]

Love how his true accent emerged and his voice softened as if he was around family, telling a story. I hope they got each others contact info and keep up with each other.

[rosanneroszetta]

The minute he said "Navan", it touched his soul!!!

[siiiiiuu]

The way the interviewer immediately knew that Pierce's childhood home was still there. It's amazing how when individuals move away from their humble hometowns and countries to pursue their dreams in Hollywood, music, etc. they're such a source of pride for their people. Individual success becomes a town's (or even a country's) success.

[AnodyneHipsterInfluencer]

Whoa! Pierce's accent got _WAY_ more Irish once he found out this interviewer was from his hometown. I can't remember ever hearing him speak with such a strong Irish inflection before.

[slygunslinger]

Pierce Is pure class, and the greatest Bond to ever live, don't bother debating me about it.

[honestyfirst]

How he said “i am the first super hero from navan” brought a tear to my eye. The sheer joy of being able to represent his home town and that someone from his hometown acknowledged what a moment it was.
