It’s safe to say Hollywood’s Pierce Brosnan has left us shaken, not stirred this summer as he pops up at random locations across Northern Ireland.
When he’s not filming for his latest movie, The Last Rifleman, he’s out and about exploring ‘our wee country’ and is loving it.

Pierce plays the role of Artie Crawford, a WWII veteran who escapes his care home in Northern Ireland and embarks on an arduous but inspirational journey to France to attend the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings, finding the courage to face the ghosts of his past.
