Pierce Brosnan showed off his fit and very toned physique as he enjoyed a day out on a beach in Malibu.
The 70-year-old actor, who played James Bond in four of the iconic films, was seen soaking up the sun and looking as dashing as ever. The father-of-five strolled across the sand in a white tank top that showed off his impressive biceps.
Despite not re-creating fellow Bond Daniel Craig's famous swim trunk scene from Casino Royale, Pierce still managed to look very youthful. He was also snapped cycling to the beach for his day out.

"There's no regret. I do not let regret come into my word... it just leads to more misery and more regrets. Bond is the gift that keeps giving and has allowed me to have a wonderful career," he shared. "Once you're branded as Bond, it's with you for ever, so you better make peace with it, and you'd better understand that when you walk through those doors and pick up the mantle of playing James Bond."

Michael was stoic, and he said, 'You were a great James Bond. Thank you very much,' and I said, 'Thank you very much. Goodbye'." Brosnan remembered in the book Some Kind of Hero: The Remarkable Story of the James Bond Films.
He added: "That was it. I was utterly shocked and just kicked to the curb with the way it went down." After his Bond stint, Brosnan showed off his singing and dancing skills in Mamma Mia! (2008) and its sequel Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018). His next role will be a fixer in Fast Charlie, directed by Phillip Noyce, out December 8.
