Interview with Brosnan, Pierce Brosnan....... [page 2 / 4]

How do you stay looking so good as you approach 50?
More power to me I guess. Fair play to me. What can I say? (Embarrassed) I try to be as disciplined as I possibly can. I don't know how to answer the question any other way. I try to live a fairly kind of clean life. I do yoga. I do the bike and road work, do weights and swim. I do whatever it takes. But, I tell you one thing, if I do another bond movie I won't do another film in Ireland just before the Bond movie. The Guinness goes down really well over there. You don't really get drunk on Guinness you can drink it until the cows come home. It's just a delicious drink. Then you suddenly look at a picture of yourself and see you've put of a few pounds. That look was great for Desmond Doyle, but I had to work doubly hard to get rid of it. So I work at staying in shape - that's the bottom line. I do it for my job, it's what my profession is about. Anyone who is worth their salt as an actor should try an keep some discipline. In America they go for that more than we do in Britain and Ireland. I love my pint as much as the next man but if you are going to set yourself up as a leading man and play romantic roles well that's it. Maybe after I turn the big Five O I will let it all go and be a slob.

Is there a party planned?
I don't really know. We have talked about it.

Do you think you will feel differently at 50?
I don't really know…probably. It is a bit daunting. I made a mistake a way back about being too honest about my age. But I don't think too much about it until I am confronted in the Press about my age and whether I will still continue to play Bond.

But haven't you said you will play one more?
I'd certainly like to do one more. After that I don't know, you are looking at 51, 52. What age did Sean Connery and Roger Moore get out?
