Pierce Brosnan Almost Became Batman, But Jokes Got in the Way

In fact, there are some actors with an eye for choosing roles that are a joy… If your sarcasm detector is about to explode, it’s because it works best. A poor shadow like the one the good old man just confessed Pierce Brosnan It can mark a career path forever. The actor said in a recent interview that everything was ready for him “Batman” in the tapes Tim Burton.

“I met him Tim Burton for the role of Batman, but I couldn’t take it seriously. Anyone who wears their underwear over their pants can’t be taken seriously. That was my stupid attitude. It was a joke, I thought. But how could I be so wrong? ” Brosnan confirmed. “Don’t get me wrong. I love Batman, I grew up with him. “When I was a kid in Ireland, we used to take our raincoats and tie them around our necks and ride our bikes like that.”

As it were, Burton lost the man who was going to be his mistress and Pierce Brosnan one of the biggest opportunities in his career. So the director went to the “agent” Michael Keatonwho would become a cult actor due to his brilliant performance as “Batman”.

We would not like to close this article without mentioning the most famous “paper refuser” (we make up words because we want to, period) Sean Connery. The man who refused to appear in “Braveheart”, “Jurassic Park” and lost $ 450 million by refusing the 15% of the collection offered to him for playing Gandalf in “The Lord of the Rings” deserves a special mention.
