Former James Bond Pierce Brosnan has spoken about his experience when he had to get into a pair of tights for his new film Percy Jackson And The Lightning Thief.
The Hollywood heartthrob was made to fit into the bright blue pair as he played Chiron, a centaur - half man, half horse - in director Chris Columbus' new family action-adventure.
"I play a teacher, Professor Brunner, who's a paraplegic philosopher of the gods and then he goes into this 'other' world where he becomes this powerful horse's a*s," the Mirror quoted Brosnan as saying.
"Christopher, he was a clever b****r - he sent me this script with a beautiful artist's impression of me as Chiron, looking great and fantastic and brilliantly buffed and I thought 'I'm goood, this is splendid!'
"So, of course I said 'yes' and then we came to the moment of glory (filming the scenes) and I've got good leather straps here and there (pointing to his chest) and buckles and knives and a sword, but then I had to get into tights, so they could put the horse's a*s on me.
"You know it's not easy to be all butch up here and look down and you've got tights on," the star added.
