Former 007 actor Pierce Brosnan has hailed his successor Daniel Craig as the best James Bond ever.
Brosnan, who played Bond in four of the superspy thrillers, was furious at being told he would no longer be part of the blockbuster franchise but insists Craig deserves his abundance of praise and Bafta nomination for Casino Royale.
Brosnan says, "Daniel Craig is the greatest Bond ever and deservedly so. He was a great choice."
"But I'm still proud to be part of that legacy."

Interesting.

If Brosnan did say this, considering how he was allegedly treated, and how he's spoken, or at least allegedly spoken, about it since, then it's very good of him.

Well, Brosnan was a great Bond as well, it's too bad they didn't give him scripts like Casino Royale to work with.

He's a cool guy and a great Bond actor. Nice that he recognizes the same in Craig.

new here guys. Yeah i agree i think bronsan was a great bond, I actually got into bond while he was in the role and i loved him in the role. But Craig did do a masterfull job as bond and i have to say that casino royale is in my top 5 favorite bond films.

Brosnan was a great Bond, and it's great that he thought Craig did a good job in the role. Cause it's true, Craig was an excellent Bond.

This proves you can like both Craig & Brosnan, even though GE is the only BrosnanBond I like as a whole.

Exactly.

Very classy of Brosnan to be so gracious and bestow such high praise unto Craig. I think Craig rocks as the new bond, Im hoping he sticks around for quite some time.

^ I think he will.

Craig did a hell of a job thats for sure!

 

[ManofmyWord]

I was surprised how much I liked Craig.

Craig is easily my second favorite Bond next to Connery.

I'd have to agree with you there... Personally, the only Bond film I actually own is Casino Royale. I've seen every Bond film to date (at least once), and I loved Daniel Craig's rendition of the iconic character as much (and perhaps a little more in some instances) as Sean Connery's.
