Pierce Brosnan accomplished two feats in ‘Black Adam’, the movie starring The Rock about the most powerful antihero in comics. The first is to become a superhero months shy of his 70th birthday. The second, look like a heartthrob in the tight suit of Doctor Fate.

Both still surprise him and he assures that they would leave the boy who lived with his grandparents open-mouthed, dreaming of reuniting with his mother, who had emigrated to London looking for a better life, and fed his fantasies about a bicycle that took him on an adventure in adventure. “At that time I just wanted to enjoy myself and express myself. I didn’t even know that I had artistic concerns,” he confessed in an interview with Yahoo Life and Style.

What he did know was that he wanted to be Batman. “I remember that I would put a gray rag on my back and throw myself from the shed where I kept my bicycle pretending to be the batman,” said Brosnan with his eyes lit up by that childish illusion . It was a passion that he never lost, although later another great character crossed his path.

“The first movie I saw in the cinema was a James Bond one,” he said. Pierce Brosnan. She was 11 years old and had already moved with her mother and her second husband to the British capital. These fictitious men helped him in the adaptation that every immigrant suffers, very useful for a child who, although he spoke the same language, constantly made him feel like a foreigner. That feeling of being ‘the other’ has never left him. As we know, it was not the only time that agent 007 changed his life.

Brosnan starred in four movies as James Bond. In 1995 he was ‘Golden Eye’, in 1997 ‘Tomorrow Never Dies’, in 1997 ‘The World Is Not Enough’ and in 2002 ‘Die Another Day’. In that period he also made movies like ‘Mrs Doubtfire’ with Robin Williams, ‘The Thomas Crown Affair’ and ‘Dante’s Peak’. He had already enchanted the world as Remington Steele, in the television series of the same name.

“It was a dream that for a long time it was hard for me to believe that I was living,” he admitted. But it is not as incredible as when he was offered the chance to play Doctor Fate, or Doctor Fate, as the character considered to be the most powerful in the DC Comics universe (where Batman and Superman also exist) is called. “We watched the movie (‘Black Adam’) at home with the whole family, but it still makes me want to pinch myself. I finally became a superhero at my age! It seems they wanted me with more meat on my bones,” he says mischievously. “Flesh and years”.

Dwayne Johnson ‘The Rock’ made good on his promise to be true to the ‘Black Adam’ story that was written in DC comics. This includes to Brosnan’s Doctor Fate, a character with superhuman strength, legendary wisdom, and the power to see the future. He’s a great role, but this artist can’t help but go back in time and remember when he tried to be the Batman of the Tim Burton movies, which ultimately fell to Michael Keaton. “He won the best man,” he acknowledged.

“It’s never too late” is one of the mottos of this actor who not only enjoyed being the oldest in the entire film. “Suddenly I see them and say I’m older than him, than her, than him. He was the oldest of all! Spectacular.” Those are all Noah Centineo, Sarah Shahi and Aldis Hodge, who play Atom Smasher (Atom Destroyer), Cyclone (Cyclone) and Falcon Man (Falcon Man), as well as Dwayne Johnson ‘The Rock’, who is Black Adam.

Brosnan’s 70’s

When Pierce Brosnan celebrates his 70th birthday on May 16, 2023, he will be surrounded by his second wife Keely Shaye Smith, his four children Sean Brosnan, Chris Brosnan, Dylan Brosnan, Paris Brosnan, and his three grandchildren Isabella, Lucas and Marley. May.

Paris and Dylan are already recognized artists and models like him.

He still doesn’t know where he will spend it or what he will do (or he didn’t want to say it, as he has every right), but he is sure that he will celebrate it with “all his heart”. Brosnan lives “grateful for having had the opportunity to stay alive”, as only someone who lost his first wife and his only daughter, both at the same age of 41 and from the same disease, ovarian cancer, can be. . Also, how can someone who, amid so much tragedy, was saved by art and a second chance at love celebrate it?

Brosnan doesn’t know if it’s age, the covid lockdown or what, but he feels “less interested in barriers.” That’s why he decided to break his rule of wearing his wedding ring and a watch that his wife gave him as part of the character of Doctor Fate. Also in the first quarter of 2023 he will have the first formal exhibition of his paintings in a gallery in London.

He has said it several times. He owes his life to his wife and to painting, which allowed him to drain the pain in the face of tragedies and he is ready to pay publicly.

In 2023 we will see Pierce Brosnan starring in three films: ‘Fast Charlie’ which stars with the Brazilian Morena Baccarin, ‘The Out-Laws’ with Nina Dobrev and ‘The Last Rifleman’. Those already filmed. She’s impressive at any age, but she already has multi-year projects planned like the two TV series she’s producing and could act in one. In addition, he is about to start filming the historical drama ‘The Medusa’ set in post-Napoleon France and then comes the comedy ‘Not Bloody Likely’ about how the writer George Bernard Shaw wrote his famous novel ‘Pygmalion’, in which he will work with Helena Bonham Carter.

I mean, there’s Pierce Brosnan for a while with 70 and all the years he has left. Who knows if he still has a chance to get into the Batmobile as an older Batman. With such an unexpected life, anything can happen.
