Pierce Brosnan almost 'chokes' on salsa during TV appearance with Helen Mirren
He's the Irish actor tough enough to portray the iconic 007, James Bond, but just don't give Pierce Brosnan some hot salsa!
The actor, 72, appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon this week alongside his The Thursday Murder Club co-star Helen Mirren, 80, the pair trying some of Fallon's homemade salsa with some chips.
Brosnan couldn't handle the heat and almost ''choked," after Mirren called the food "fabulous".

Brosnan joked: "No, it's ok, I'll be fine. You two just carry on... it's ok, just pretending."
While Brosnan struggled with the salsa, Mirren loved it and carried on eating.
The pair star in Netflix's The Thursday Murder Club, where a group of retirees investigate murders, before becoming suspects in one.
Directed by Chris Columbus, it is based on the novel of the same name.
