Pierce Brosnan’s singing abilities may have landed him a role in Mamma Mia! and its sequel, but not everyone is a fan…
The 65-year-old has acted in 86 productions, but singing is not really his forte. So, when the film adaptation of the ABBA musical was ready, Pierce decided to get the opinion of a trusted friend.
The Irishman lives rather close to actress and singer Barbra Streisand who is part of the coveted EGOT collection.
“We thought we’d show it to Barbra,” Pierce told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show. “She wanted to see it, so we went over to her house and put the movie on. She said, ‘Come sit beside me, darling.’ I’m watching the movie thinking, ‘What am I doing showing this to Barbra Streisand?’”
Once the movie had ended, the 76-year-old praised his performance, calling it absolutely wonderful, before her late dog Sammie decided to bite Pierce on the arm!
“She said, ‘Oh Sammy, are you alright?’” Pierce recalled. “I said, ‘But, Barbra — she just bit me.’”
Jimmy then concluded: “The dog did not like your performance.”
Just as well poor Sammie won’t get to see Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again!
