The casting appears to have been approved by the former 007 star, who played Bond from 1995 to 2002. Speaking to RTÉ Radio 1 (via The Mirror), the Irish actor said: “I think the man has the skills, talent and Charisma to play Bond, very much so”.
He continued: “I read the news about his chances of being a Bond, so I would definitely take my hat off to that guy. Be daring, go out and have a great time. I love it, do it. He can do it.”
This follows reports that Brosnan had been supporting the Irish actor Cillian Murphywho was rumored for the role, saying the Oppenheimer star “would do a magnificent job.”
