Pierce Brosnan looks worlds away from his suave self in a receding white wig as he returns to Leeds to film final scenes for Prince Naseem biopic Giant


Pierce Brosnan looked worlds away from his usual suave self in a receding white wig as he returned to film the final scenes for Prince Naseem biopic Giant in Leeds on Wednesday.

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.'
