LONDON: Former ‘James Bond’ star Pierce Brosnan wants to shave off the goatee he had to grow for his upcoming film Seraphim Falls because he was told he looks like Saddam Hussein. Contactmusic.com reports Brosnan admits he grew fond of the beard even though his wife kept calling him a goat. It was only when friends started saying he looks like Saddam that he decided to get rid of it.

He says: “It’s coming off in a few days. It seemed like a good choice about three months ago, but I’ve been living with it now and I look more like — so I’ve been told — Saddam Hussein... or Kentucky Fried Chicken (Colonel Sanders).”
