Hollywood star Pierce Brosnan does not miss playing James Bond and has no desire to return to the character in the future.

The 56-year-old actor, who appeared as the iconic British spy in GoldenEye , Tomorrow Never Dies , The World Is Not Enough and Die Another Day , before being replaced by Daniel Craig insists he loves the projects he is currently involved with and wouldn’t want to return to the action franchise, Contactmusic reported.

“I enjoyed my time as Bond, but I don’t miss him. I don’t have any desire to do Bond again. I love who I am as an actor right now,” Brosnan said.

The star admitted he may not have the physical capabilities to star in the movies anymore anyway.

'I never really nailed it'

“I’m aware of my lack of stamina, particularly working with a young cast on Remember Me with Robert Pattinson, the latest heart-throb. Things do rattle and shake at times, but that’s the challenge of life anyway,” Brosnan said.

The actor has previously admitted he doesn’t think he “nailed” playing the iconic spy as well as he could have because he couldn’t stop relating with other actors who have played 007 before.

The actor, who took over the role from Timothy Dalton, said, “It was one of those things I always struggled with. I never felt that I really nailed it. There was always a hint of Sean Connery and Roger Moore that was so indelible in my own mind.”
