Pierce Brosnan in the Thomas Crown Affair... But is he cool? RGR Collection/Alamy Stock Photo

Poll: Is Pierce Brosnan cool?

He’s certainly suave, but is he cool?

YES, THIS IS a poll about whether or not it’s accurate or fair to describe Pierce Brosnan – so far the only person from Navan to play James Bond – as ‘cool’. 

The question sparked a heated (two-part) debate beween the co-hosts of podcast The Rest is Entertainment – with Marina Hyde insisting that while the actor was, indeed, suave, he didn’t quite hit the bar for coolness. 

“Keanu Reeves is cool, Harrison Ford is still cool … Syndey Sweeney is cool because she seems like she just doesn’t care,” Hyde argued. Her bemused co-presenter, Richard Osman, insisted the former Bond star was “the coolest man I’ve ever met in my life”. 

So we’re asking, quite simply … is Pierce Brosnan cool? 


Poll Results:

Yes (9502)
No  (2332)

    @Oh Mammy: Clearly climate change is the real culprit.

    @Oh Mammy: I presume embers blowing in the wind has started up a large proportion of those.

    I wonder what will be the consequences for the lefty arsonist. Bet the journal won’t report on the Tenerife arsonist. Just more climate propaganda. Ryan, gates and Soros must pay well.

    While people die, and nature is being destroyed before our eyes, global heating denial is spreading like wildfire among some anonymous keyboard warriors not personally affected.
    What could this be saying about them?
