Bond star Pierce Brosnan surprised a local art gallery owner by popping in for a visit during a break in his busy filming schedule.
The A-lister has been filming for a second series of the Paramount+ show MobLand, also starring Tom Hardy and Helen Mirren, in Gloucestershire.
The show follows the battles between two warring crime families in London, the Harrigans and the Stevensons.
Brosnan, 72, starred as patriarch Conrad Harrington in series one, which aired in the spring, and filming is already underway for a second series.
Filming for series one took place primarily in and around London, but the Harrigans’ residence is at the stunning Waverton House in the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire.

The Mamma Mia star found time between shoots to take in the sights of the Cotswolds, including visiting a local art gallery.
An artist himself, owner of The White Gallery in Chipping Campden, Georgina White, said it was “so lovely” to speak to the actor about art and the gallery’s display when he initially popped in on November 27.
Sharing a post to Instagram, she wrote: “Today for a lovely visit to my gallery yesterday from the one and the only @piercebrosnanofficial … who was quite possibly my favourite ever Bond and now most definitely is!
“Thank you so much Pierce for visiting @thewhitegallerycotswolds – it was so lovely speaking to you about art and thanks for completing the sibling hat trick!”
Georgina said the actor then returned to the gallery last week after local filming wrapped up to say goodbye.
Brosnan bumped into resident artist Jeremy Houghton on his return, who shared a photo with GloucestershireLive.

Jeremy said: “Great to meet Pierce Brosnan this week. Delightful chap, but I couldn’t persuade him to buy my picture of Daniel Craig, so it’s still available…”
Waverton House is a stately-style home built at the end of the 1970s near Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire. It was designed for the horse-breeder Joselyn Hambro and has been owned by the Hambro family since.
