Yahoo Lifestyle Halle Berry's Experience On "Die Another Day" Has Sparked New Stories About Pierce Brosnan
This week, Halle Berry did an interview with Wired, where she looked back on past roles, including 2002's Die Another Day.
The James Bond film starred her as agent Jinx alongside Pierce Brosnan's 007. It was his fourth film since relaunching the franchise with 1995’s GoldenEye and his last before exiting the role.
"He will always be my Bond, always," Halle said in response to a question about working on the movie.

Halle's praise for Pierce quickly went viral, and it wasn't long before people started sharing their own stories highlighting his kindness and humility. Here are a few of them:
I know someone who, when working as a concierge at a fancy hotel, accidentally bumped into Brosnan while she was crossing the lobby in a hurry. She said, “I’m so sorry!” and he put his hand gently on her wrist and replied, “Entirely my fault.”Can you IMAGINE. https://t.co/wLsiH4oqyR

He was friendly and respectful to us extras when he worked on Goldeneye film set as James Bond. Sat and chatted to us, so chilled. Lovely down to earth gentleman (unlike most other celebrities)

My friend's husband met him at a premiere and invited him to spend the weekend on their rural property. This was before mobiles were common so he didn't call to warn her. She came downstairs in the morning to find PB in her kitchen washing the dishes in just pyjama bottoms.

I had a similar experience! I was working the VIP door/list at a premiere at Paramount & while a lot of more haughty LA celebs were just blowing right past me, I looked up from my list & was surprised to him standing right next to me, politely checking in with no ego/attitude!😄
