‘I’ve always had my eyes on Dumbledore’: Hollywood star Pierce Brosnan

Hollywood star Pierce Brosnan says he has “always had (his) eyes” on playing the Hogwarts headmaster Dumbledore in a ‘Harry Potter’ remake and would “probably” say yes if he was asked to be involved in the upcoming series.  The 72-year-old actor has been backed by fans to play the wise and powerful character in the upcoming TV adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s beloved wizarding saga.

He told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: “I’ve always had my eyes on Dumbledore as my hair has gotten greyer and the maturity of life is now upon my visage and shoulders. It’s a joke with my family, the Dumbledore thing – that I’ll go into my Dumbledore years. I don’t want to go there … particularly right now, but if I was asked (to play the part) I probably would say yes.”

The star recently wrapped work on five movies and said he was determined to make the most of opportunities that came his way in the wake of the 2023 Hollywood strikes, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

He said: “A year and a half ago, there was nothing on the horizon. I was saying to my wife, ‘I’m not sure where we’re going here.’ There was such a thump of anxiety within the business.”

“Sometimes you have choices as an actor, sometimes you don’t, but you have a wife, children, a nice house, a piece of property, so money is still going out the door. Luckily, I have good agents and they put me out there.”

Brosnan, who played James Bond in four films between 1995 and 2002, won’t be taking on the role of spymaster M in the next film in the franchise, despite speculation linking him to the role. He said: “Really? That’s nuts. Oh for God’s sake, let’s see where the wind takes us.”   (IANS)
