'They'll be missing one': Pierce Brosnan suggest he won't be taking part in Bond reunion at The Oscars
Out? Pierce Brosnan has hinted that he will not be taking part in a Bond reunion at The Oscars
This year's Oscars are set to pay tribute to The Bond franchise but one former 007 agent appears to have ruled himself out of the celebrations.
Pierce Brosnan has hinted that he won't be taking part in the rumoured reunion, which is said to be include all former Bond stars.
In a video posted to TMZ the Irish-born actor is asked if he will be joining the group at The Oscars and he replied: 'Well, they'll be missing one.'
When the photographer asks for clarification if it will be Sean Connery or himself who will be missing out Pierce just smiled and jumped into his car.
The Bond fraternity including Daniel Craig, Sir Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and George Lazenby are set to take to the stage at the star-studded ceremony on February 24, according to the Daily Record.
But while Pierce appears to have ruled himself out it was initially thought that that Sean Connery would be the person least likely to attend.
A source told the paper: 'Sir Sean has been invited to take to the stage along with Daniel and the other 007s. As yet, we've not had a no from him. Normally he is quick to turn things down.'
'Sean's relationship with the Oscars is good and we're hoping he'll appear.'
