Pierce Brosnan takes some time out from shooting in Gloucestershire

The Gloucestershire Echo have reported that Pierce Brosnan took some time out of filming Die Another Day on location in Gloucestershire, UK:

James Bond skidded in at the wheel of his Aston Martin to shake and stir Cotswolds fans. 007 was also spotted having a not-so-quiet pint of lager in Bourton-on-the-Water.

Hordes of teenage girls descended on the film set to catch a glimpse of their heart throb. The superstar came to the former RAF airfield, which had been transformed into a frozen lake fringed with giant icebergs, to be chased by villains in his Aston Martin.

He was dressed in jeans, a dark shirt and shades. Onlookers sat on the top of vans and climbed packing pallets to get a good view as the site was sealed off with barbed wire.

Between shots Mr Brosnan took a breather in his star`s chair under a gazebo. He had lunch in a trailer while film crew queued for burgers. Laura Coombes, 16, of Upper Rissington, said: "Pierce is cool. He`s the best Bond and the best-looking.

"We`ve seen a truck with the Aston Martin hanging off the back going through trees with a fire behind and a man who seemed to be pointing his gun at us so we sat down."

Six-year-old Charlie Fletcher, from Bourton, actually spoke to Mr Brosnan as he sat outside the Old Manse having a drink. Her dad Sean said: "I walked past but Charlie wanted his autograph. "We went home and she got a photo of her and our Rottweiler Ally.

"I wouldn`t go but she plucked up courage to ask him to sign it. He was a perfect gentleman. Charlie was bright red when she came back." Charlie said: "I just went up to him and asked. He said he likes Rottweiler and used to have some."

Pub manager Ian White said Mr Brosnan ordered drinks at the bar. He said: "He signed some autographs for my staff. He didn`t have a big entourage and everybody left him alone to have a drink with a few of the crew for about an hour and a half."

Duty manager Mark Harding added: "He was an ordinary and pleasant person." Mr Brosnan was filming again today and watching rushes at the Blue Egg Studios at Rissington Business Park.
