Pierce Brosnan has admitted that he hasn't seen Daniel Craig in the role of James Bond.
Brosnan was replaced as 007 by Craig after four outings as the super spy.
He tells Contactmusic: "I haven't seen Daniel in the role. I tried watching [Casino Royale] on an airplane, I thought 37,000 feet was a good distance to watch it from and it broke down right at the beginning.
"The attendant came and changed it and it broke down a second time, so I figured 'OK. The Gods must be saying something.'
"So I never went near it! I just thought, 'let sleeping dogs lie'. I got the Academy screener for the last one [Quantum of Solace] and I turned it on for my boys and I left them to it. I didn’t go near it."
Brosnan took up the role of Bond in 1995 with GoldenEye and went on to film Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough and Die Another Day.
Since then he has found success in The Matador, which earnt him a Golden Globe nomination, and Mamma Mia!
He returns to the big screen next month with the release of Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief with Remember Me and The Ghost Writer, directed by Roman Polanski, awaiting release.
