The Man with the Golden Guns!\u00a0Pierce Brosnan was putting on his own gun show as he enjoyed a beach day at Malibu on Tuesday<\/p>\n
Pierce pedaled his way along the coast with his sunglasses shielding his eyes and a water bottle tucked into his bicycle.<\/p>\n
Pierce has famously played secret agent 007 in four of the James Bond films – GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough, and Die Another Day.<\/p>\n
The actor had his last outing as 007 in Die Another Day in 2002 and although he was eager to do a fifth film, producers decided they wanted to reboot the role to stay relevant in a post-9\/11, post-Jason Bourne world.<\/p>\n
Pierce previously insisted he has ‘no regrets’ about how he left the franchise, when he was told he was being replaced over the phone.<\/p>\n
Speaking to The Guardian\u00a0in 2020, Pierce said: ‘There’s no regret. I do not let regret come into my world\u2026 It just leads to more misery and more regrets. Bond is the gift that keeps giving and has allowed me to have a wonderful career.<\/p>\n
‘Once you’re branded as a Bond, it’s with you for ever, so you better make peace with it and you’d better understand that when you walk through those doors and pick up the mantle of playing James Bond.’<\/p>\n
Pierce previously admitted he felt like he had been ‘kicked to the curb’ when he was cut from the franchise and said the phone call from the producers came completely out of the blue.<\/p>\n
The film star was called by producers Barbara Broccolli and Michael Wilson who informed him they had decided to recast the role, which went to Daniel Craig.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Iconic role: The actor had his last outing as 007 in Die Another Day in 2002<\/p>\n
Recounting the call in the book Some Kind of Hero: The Remarkable Story of the James Bond Films, he said: ‘She was crying, Michael was stoic and he said, “You were a great James Bond. Thank you very much,” and I said, “Thank you very much. Goodbye.”<\/p>\n
‘That was it. I was utterly shocked and just kicked to the curb with the way it went down.’<\/p>\n
According to the authors of the book, Pierce wanted too much money for a fifth film while bosses had already decided to take the franchise in a grittier direction.<\/p>\n
Pierce has had a successful career since leaving the Bond franchise behind, appearing in films like Mamma Mia! and The Ghost Writer.<\/p>\n
