Pierce Brosnan made fans do a double take when he shared a brand new picture of himself on Instagram, looking every inch like the iconic James Bond.
The 71-year-old, best known for his portrayal of 007, looked years younger than his age as he posed in his slick Dunhill tux against a BMW.
"Time to hit the road …Tux by Dunhill, wheels by BMW. Gratitude abounds. Photo by Quentin," he wrote in his caption.
The post prompted a flurry of messages from enthusiastic fans, with one writing: "Someone give this man eleventy billion dollars to play senior Bond." Another added: "Fantastic photo. Very Bondesque!!! Looking very dapper sir."
A third post read: "Just give us another Bond movie already... This proves it's a realistic possibility."
