One is a former James Bond star the other is a music mogul who
appears on the small screen but Pierce Brosnan and Simon Cowell look
like twins in the actor's latest holiday snaps.
The 59-year-old star has been enjoying a relaxing break in Hawaii but his beach appearance bears a strong resemblance to Mr Cowell.
As well as sporting matching body hair across his chest and stomach, Pierce also appears to have had his hair cut into a similar style to the Syco boss.
Is that you Simon? Pierce Brosnan looks the spitting image of Simon Cowell as he soaks up the sunshine in Hawaii
In recent years Pierce has filled out and is now sporting a little paunch, compared to his trim and toned shape seen in the 007 films.
Pierce was the fifth actor to take on the role of Mr Bond playing the character from 1995 to 2002.
The actor recently revealed that shooting his new film All You Need Is Love proved to be an emotional experience as it brought back painful memories of his first wife.
Her death left him devastated and bringing up their son Sean, then eight, alone.
Speaking about it the actor said: ‘I went through it all, very publicly. Such things draw a mark across your heart and it’s always a part of your life. To watch someone you love have their life eaten away – bit by bit, by this insidious and horrid disease – becomes an indelible part of your psyche.
The actor did find love again and married Keely Shaye Smith in 2001.
