The actor, 72, started his career on stage before winning a part in TV show Remington Steele in the 1980s and then being signed up to play 007 in the mid-1990s.

And Brosnan - currently starring in Netflix's The Thursday Murder Club - has now revealed he wishes he went back to his theatre roots after ending his career-defining turn as the superspy like his successor Daniel Craig did.

Brosnan told The Guardian his acting teacher Christopher Fettes wanted him “doing obscure 19th-century plays” but his dream was always movies.
