Pierce Brosnan, 71, looks every bit the silver fox as he cracks a joke at the car wash in Malibu

Pierce Brosnan looked every bit the silver fox as he ran some errands in Malibu on Wednesday. 

The actor, 71, who has had a busy few months filming in the UK, was seen cracking jokes with staff at Malibu Car Wash & Detail upon his return. 

Flashing a huge smile as he chatted with an employee, he put on a smart display in a light blue denim shirt. 

Pierce teamed the top with a pair of black chino trousers, white leather trainers and a belt. 

The James Bond star pushed his hair grey back from his face and sported a full beard.

 Last month Pierce returned to his James Bond roots as he was seen filming for his latest spy thriller Black Bag alongside fellow A-lister Cate Blanchett

The Hollywood legend looked in his element as he played a spy called Spiegel while shooting on the streets of London's Marylebone.

The upcoming American spy thriller for Focus Feature is directed Steven Soderbergh, known for directing the likes of Erin Brockovich, Logan Lucky, Magic Mike, and the iconic Ocean's Trilogy.

The movie will see Michael Fassbender as leading star alongside Cate, and they are joined Bridgerton favourite Regé-Jean Page and Skyfall's Naomie Harris.

The plot details are firmly being kept under wraps, with filming and production kicking off earlier this month in London.

Pierce has also been busy filming Prince Naseem Hamed's upcoming biopic, Giant, in Leeds. 

Pierce is transforming into Prince Naseem's boxing trainer Brendan Ingle - swapping his dapper 007 suits for a grungy tracksuit and ditching his dashing looks for a receding white wig.

His usual impressive quiff of silver hair was hidden under a wig of white hair which was receding at the crown and combed over.

The film is being executive produced by Rocky star Sylvester Stallone and written and directed by Rowan Athale, while Amir takes on the role of Prince Naseem. 

Amir is a British-Egyptian actor who won Best Young Actor at the Egyptian Oscars in 2009 and is known for his roles in Jon Stewart's directorial debut, Rosewater, the multi award-winning series The Night Manager and the BAFTA-nominated The State. 

Giant will tell the compelling true-life story of British-Yemeni boxer and his rags to riches ascent in the tough working-class streets of Sheffield and his discovery by Brendan, himself a steel industry worker turned boxing trainer.

The film will see the boxer become a world champion under the management of the Irish-born boxing trainer.
