Brosnan says Bond firing was liberating

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 11 (UPI) -- Actor Pierce Brosnan told Entertainment Weekly he actually felt liberated when he was fired from playing film's James Bond.

"After that kind of titanic jolt to the system, there was a great sense of calm," Brosnan said. "I'm not beholden to them or anyone. I'm not shackled by some contracted image. So there was a sense of liberation."
