Pierce Brosnan gets James Bond camera moment at US Open

moviesSep 14, 2026273,221

During the US Open men's final at Arthur Ashe Stadium, ESPN’s broadcast cut to the on-court clock showing 0:07 before panning to Pierce Brosnan sitting in the stands. The timing produced an obvious James Bond 007 callback because Brosnan played Bond in four films: GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough, and Die Another Day. The official US Open account shared the clip with the caption “The camera panning from the clock at 0:07 to Pierce Brosnan. Absolute cinema.” Viewers praised the ESPN camera crew and director for the seamless transition, with one writing “From a ticking clock to 007 in a single smooth pan, even the seconds know who’s boss,” and another urging, “Give the camera operator a raise and give it to them by end of business day today.” The moment renewed attention on Brosnan as a spectator and arrived amid publicity for his upcoming projects, including Netflix’s Extraction 3, a return in MobLand Season 2, and the film Cliffhanger in post-production.

They were waiting all day for that opportunity

Rolex, being a major sponsor, probably isn't thrilled with the producer's work. Brosnan is a spokesperson for Swiss watchmaker Speake-Marin...

How is Pierce Brosnan still hot? He can’t be much younger than my dad but my eyebrows just did an involuntary thing at him in wayfarers

“Now pay attention, 007” “No, Mr Bond I expect you to die” “Bond, James Bond” “Shaken. Not stirred” “…Unloved season.” “Burgundy is a claret” “I think he’s attempting re-entry.” “He would have given him wings…” There’s not that many, really. And lots of good ones in the “bad” films.

The re-entry gag is my favourite because it does that thing I really enjoy: a joke which is just *slightly* too graphic than you initially realise. (Married With Children does this as well, to even greater effect considering their restraints.)

Joel Morris3

You find it when you’re trying to do jokes based on Bond, that you reach for the titles rather than the dialogue for instant recognition. It’s an international franchise and the words are sometimes a bit of an afterthought to the aesthetic.
