I watched the video and honestly, I thought he looked about 65.

I commend his reason to be there though but he looked a little creaky but that's neither her nor there if the whales benefit. B)

Looking a little old but not too bad for his age.

I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall after he left...
wonder what the discussion turned to...

"So who do you think was the best bond?"

This country is fighting two wars, trying to fix a severely damaged economy and Pierce Brosnan is at the White House talking about some :tdown:ing whales?

That makes me want to become a whaler just to spite the bastards that thought inviting Pierce Brosnan to the White House was a good idea.

Mr. Brosnan, I love your work but you sure know how to be irrelevant. B)

He's still got it!

Amazing the doors that open when you've played James Bond. I can definitely see Pierce following in Roger's footsteps as a future envoy for UNICEF.

Sir Roger's humanitarian work benefits starving humans. Pierce Brosnan supports whales. There's a huge difference in importance and prestige.

Not that what Pierce is doing is bad, but there are certainly more pressing issues, Sir Roger's cause being one of them. Personally I'd rather save one dozen impoverished children than five dozen beluga. And of course there's the global economy. And the potential for a repeat of 1973 in the very near future. And the environment. And just all around issues. Really, when was the last time the world at least looked bright and cheery on the surface?

Well put and let's not forget Craig and his latest part in that eco campaign. Of course he does a lot for charity as we have seen before (Unicef included)but I don't think we'll ever see him become really high profile on any of these though.
Publicly or not, at least some of these stars are doing something with true hearts and that is better than nothing. :tdown:

Way to go, Pierce. Whales are intelligent mammals and the barbaric slaughters for 'scientific research' must stop.

Yes, sir, and I'm regretting the decision each and every day,

It's the price I pay for being gullible. :tdown:

Well he just turned 56 (unless those secretly born two years earlier rumours are true) so he looks his age, just with the numbers in the wrong order.

I'll have to watch the video as I made the suave comment based on the photo. I'm sure at 56 he looks a suave 65, though.

What may be "irrevelant" to some may not be to others. I think that would be a fairer assessment on the whole thing. B)

What exactly has Sean done in the field of filanthropy (sic) ? Didn't he bugger off to the Bahamas to avoid paying taxes? (Not that I wouldn't do the same B) )
