Pierce Brosnan, 70, looks worlds away from his suave self as he ditches his dashing looks for a receding white wig as new biopic Giant releases unrecognisable first look image
Pierce is transforming into Prince Naseem's boxing trainer Brendan Ingle - swapping his dapper 007 suits for a grungy tracksuit.
Giant will tell the compelling true-life story of British-Yemeni boxer and his rags to riches ascent in the tough working-class streets of Sheffield and his discovery by Brendan, himself a steel industry worker turned boxing trainer. AGC Studios Chairman and CEO Stuart Ford said in a statement: 'Since commissioning Rowan to write the brilliant screenplay for 'Giant' several years ago, we've been passionate about bringing this extraordinary story to the big screen. 'Amir and Pierce will make a powerful lead duo and it's exciting that Zygi and his team at True Brit, with their outstanding career track record in launching the best of British film to audiences, believe as fervently as we do in 'Giant's cinematic potential.'
