the. today on larry king now it's piers brazile he may be turning sixty but he's at the top of his game if you say what i'm just going to do studio films then you're shortchanging yourself as an artist the star on why is les this film hits close to home and emotionally connected to me as a man as a father as a man who. lost a wife to cancer and he's out on bond james bond i grew up with connery connery was the one from a he was he was the be all of the end all of bombs as all next on larry king now. welcome to larry king now very pleasure to welcome piers brosnan i haven't seen him

in a long time three years we know he saved the world as james bond and now he's back on the screen a terrific new romantic comedy love is all you need to get to the film in the setting going to be sixty going to be sixty just around the corner and how does it feel great it humbled since it is knows them at the table it's the old forty isn't it good that's what they say nevertheless i mean it comes with its own kind of pressures of life it comes with its own. well its embarrassment of riches what can i say i got lucky in the youth obsessed society which we were in. where does that put you when they put they look at you you're not the thirty year old leading man and. no i mean i realize that you have to be aware of your own time and space time past time present time future i don't really think about it yet i'm confronted by it it is what it is it is what it is so you have you have to you have to be strong i mean as you get older you have to get even stronger you have to have a sense of grace under pressure as it were and enjoy it i love what i do love being

an actor i am i buy it i love what. god what in the future will bring there's an act performance and. i've done all my life and they have loved admired about you is your selection by you with the world's take smaller movies you do independent movies to do major films what's the process. i'm just a working actor and i've always considered myself a working actor i've always had nothing but just the joy of doing the job and some kind of realisation that you cannot if you say what i'm just going to do studio film studio films and deny yourself the opportunity to go off and work with a young guy or a young woman who's got a great text then you're short changing yourself as an artist. i thought walk so when you get the script what's the first thing you do. do you look at the whole

seemed you get your part in what you do read it i mean you did the job like the love is all you need my agent called me up and said susanna there worries you a danish director i knew this woman's work i knew the work of the danish filmmakers from the dog mao films which was a title that was given to the danish filmmakers their number of years ago so i knew suzanne his work the piece was called the bold had it had reza originally and when . i read it i turned page one and i kept turning the pages and it emotionally connected to me is a man as a father as a man who who lost a wife to cancer is a dead this carried to the plane loses away from the terrible accident i know what it's like to be a single parent so there were many emblems within this. story that also played out and i thought and i thought great and susanna bear is fantastic and i think when

the woman you're in love with in the film has cancer screening at their home plays this beautiful character she is. as a working mom a hairdresser there in copenhagen and she has. breast cancer this is sick the me she has laid a dollar is getting married in sorento with her son is all from the iraq war. husband as. is not quite right he's out and she has set sail two for her daughter's wedding and so i went up and she bumps into me so to speak physically for emotions it was funny with calling it a romantic comedy about it but cancer is involved and we laugh at lots of things. i think you have to really if you can have the if you have the heart to do so. you know because life is life is really hard it's always a constant suffering somewhat and then moments of happiness and you kind of squeeze

the best out of the happiness and hope you have the strength to meet the you know the misfortunes of life that will be for you they certainly both of you this film you playing the widower you are a widower we buried was a widower you know was a little. how did you deal with the loss. face faith you know i'm not i'm irish catholic the church has been a big part of my life prayer has been a big part of my life. and so that's was doing grained in my own being i suppose i had good family around manhood my children. and i knew how to work i knew how to. find a job as an actor and plow forward or amaze me about people with faith and there you are and how do you keep the faith when if there is this or inspiring why i would not take this away from. your god i don't know what you do acknowledge do it

when you lose it sometimes you lose it and you have to be strong enough to lose it to find it again. i don't know and it's going to lose it for a while. oh i lose it yeah that was lost was adrift in this within my own heart of life and where i was going and what i was doing and how i was going to carry on but then you'd look around when you have children and they look to you for support. and you go to strive not to fly right and just be there for them and put on a brave face and made the day did the director's shoes and know that you were a widower no i don't think she had health and she did it we never even spoke about it i mean i just read the text i said guys it how do i i don't i fit into this i'm an irishman this is a danish film i don't want to rock the apple cart here and she said don't want to go speak english and make it work for you but we never discussed my own background

we never really discussed. the film that much it was it was such a stick job to do with the company of these modeless i was a shoot. we shot in copenhagen and then we went to denmark and we went to sorrento. one of the critics said brosnan delivers every nuance in what's possibly the finest role he's ever had. is it. i would say this is. a turn has been made here in the work i'd like to think that has been and that comes with age that comes with the acceptance of turning sixty it in a breast here and looking down the road and how you perform i use it front of the camera you. know you know at this point you know there's nothing to prove they are there and yet there's everything to prove this is the still wants and desires burning desire to work and to get that but when you're with someone like

susanna bear who's such a such and you once direct and as such should manatee and you're in the company of actors like this and the dealing with a story about cancer about infidelity about. finding love again is you've you know a little bit about the road so you just leave yourself alone and. play yourself is a process our guest the film is love is all you need it opens friday will be right back. dangerous experiments on prisoners they want to make money and they have to use healthy guinea pigs in the regular society they're not able to use prisoners anymore they wish they could. drug tests on human guinea pigs. paid to pop the deadly pills he didn't have subway he was killed.

he didn't pass away they let him down. is pharmacy really about helping people. let me let me i want all let me ask you a point. here on this network is what we're having a debate we have our knives out. that's right that's the bad thing again here it is always will be an itinerary to talk about the name and we. michael michael has copied both worthless and vicious consistent across the board remember you've been there just by mccotter got on the plane and we clear. good on

him. for. i really don't understand why anybody will work for you. with wit when you're so awful and such to pick and nothing pipes. up and good money. for. the bad larry king now our guest is piers brosnan for years you knew him as james bond and now he's back on screen their romantic comedy love is all you need opens this friday as already gotten advance rave reviews. how did the bob things come to you it was short on or is franchise that excited when you reinvent that as you get it with my late wife cassie cassandra hours she was in a james bond movie for your eyes only that was the first contact with the family

the broccolis barbara broccoli cubby broccoli was still alive and he was that he was the grand master of all of this brilliant franchise and so we joked about it my wife and i that i would play james bond and lo and behold in eighty six remington steele the canceled and they came to me and offered me the job all of the you do. in the end i did i did four movies where they fun the other great fun. it's a huge challenge for any man to step into such a role and especially after a mission to sean connery and this. is what he did their whole those years back. it was fun it was hard work is you talk to about it now talk to any of them about it really you kind of get on with your own your own perspective on the edge of you about oh you're playing someone who is so we can control who is a killa right who now we don't know much about is that crowd at all.

oh he got to be what he is that's a difficult one to answer really it's it's it has its own complexity it has its own simplicity at the same time you try that try to keep it as honest as possible i was so influenced by sean connery i was so influenced by roger moore and the text that was before me was such a hybrid of those two play is that you have to be you have to let them in and you have to push them aside at the same time because i grew up with connery connery was the one from a he was he was the be all of the end all of bonds and it you have to find your own pass within that and your own kind of sincerity and honesty and reality you read the books read the text and you usurer imagination then they try and keep it as simple as possible at the end of the day people forget that john kennedy made that carried to fame by saying that's the books he reads yeah he stood up and said this

is my bedtime reading and lo and behold he while the world just went ballistic what do you think of daniel craig williams it's quite brilliant gives it a different touch that it's a different time i mean it's a different era and i think they had to they they they they wanted to win had to make a change i think with the advent of paul greengrass and the bourne identities once i saw that on the horizon. stakes of copy so close i describe it i saw skyfall at skyfall i was in london last year i was making this movie and every time i'd walk out my hotel a bus would go by daniel will be there every which way i look skyfall was there and i thought well i better better see it i try to watch the first one that daniel did on the plane and it broke down three times. maybe thirty seven so hard for his own to do it as i view it a busby interesting you've played it you what you had my shorts on or you done yes

elf and now you're watching this gentleman play. it so how do you view it as an actor do you say this is what i would have done no no no i just come to it as a member of the audience and the day yeah i do this otherwise it'll it'll turn you inside out trying to play that game with yourself i just sat back and reveled in what daniel did what do you think judy dench who she was with that was her first time in boston which if you think gold and i go tonight. with a great axis what a great acts of fun a great actress and one a wonderful time to be able to what wonderful closure for how to play am and then to be able to go out in the blaze of glory so to speak last press law slocum what is will these hold up. why do they hold up well that is. because it's so good products because the man has all the ingredients of which you've already spoken the mystique the great hero the tuxedo he has the women he
