James Bond Star Pierce Brosnan has been touring Greece for the last couple of weeks where locals rush to get a photo together with the Hollywood star.
The most recent stop for Brosnan was the island of Lipsi, a small group of islets at the northern part of the Dodecanese near to Patmos island and Leros.
During his stay in Lipsi, Pierce Brosnan was photographed with Rena Paradisis a local resident who posted a photo with him on her personal Facebook account.
In the caption of her post, she wrote: “Good morning everyone, today I met actor Pierce Brendon Brosnan, who played James Bond, on the road… And I thought we should take a picture together… It’s not every day we have famous actors on our island.”
Pierce Brosnan’s tour of Greece
Brosnan arrived in the city of Kavala, northern Greece on September 3rd with his billionaire friend John Paul DeJoria, known for his involvement in the hair products industry and for owning Patrón tequila. DeJoria has a special connection to Kavala, as his mother hails from the city.

Brosnan has received two Golden Globe Award nominations, for the miniseries Nancy Astor (1982) and for the dark comedy film The Matador (2005).
In 1996, along with American film producer Beau St. Clair, he formed a Los Angeles-based production company called Irish DreamTime.
