Pierce Brosnan still doesn't see himself "as an old man" now he in his 70s.
The former James Bond star - who turned 72 in May - admits he struggles with his new identity as an "older" person after spending so many years as a Hollywood hunk.
He told Saga magazine: "I don’t see myself as an old man at all. But I suppose I would be considered an old man by some and I am getting older, that's for sure."
The actor's latest movie project is a big screen adaptation of Richard Osman's best-selling book The Thursday Murder Club - about a group of pensioners who solve murder mysteries - and Pierce hopes the film will show older people in a different light.
He said: "It will bring great comfort to people who are getting old. We don’t really look after the elders in our society, they get pushed to the side. It’s a story of dignity and hope."
His co-star in the film, Dame Helen Mirren, 80, added: "The great thing about a movie like this is that it reminds everyone: 'As an older person I have a brain. I have agency, energy, commitment, passion and intellect. It doesn’t all stop when you’re 40'."
