Former James Bond star Pierce Brosnan was spotted in a Harrogate bar last night.
The Irish actor, who was the fifth person to play 007, was seen having a drink at The Fat Badger on Cold Bath Road last night.
The Stray Ferret was sent a photo of Mr Brosnan enjoying a pint — rather than a martini — at the bar, which is part of The White Hart Hotel.
The 70-year-old played James Bond four times, including in Die Another Day and GoldenEye.
He has also featured in blockbusters such as the Mamma Mia! franchise, Survivor, Laws of Attraction and Mrs Doubtfire.
During his career, he has received two Golden Globe nominations for his performances in The Matador and Nancy Astor, as well as winning the outstanding European achievement in world cinema award at the European Film Awards in 2016.
Mr Brosnan even won a Razzie Award for worst supporting actor for his role in Mamma Mia!.
