Pierce Brosnan shows he's just nuts about McNutt's

Pierce Brosnan has been popping up on local social media timelines over the weekend and he will do so now with some newly acquired head gear.

Brosnan, who is in Donegal to film Four Letters of Love, scenes for which are being shot in the Dunfanaghy area, was in Downings yesterday where he popped into McNutt of Donegal.

"We weren’t expecting Pierce Brosnan to visit us at the mill today but what a treat it was," reads a social media post. "Here he is being welcomed by Anne from the McNutt team and looking great in his McNutt of Donegal Tweed cap."

McNutt's are famed for their woven products as well as hand-picked crafts, first spinning the wheel in 1950.

He also bumped into some of Downings' footballers, Johnny McGroddy, Ross Cullen, Kealan McGroddy and Ronan Gallagher.

Drogheda born Brosnan played secret agent James Bond in the Bond film series from 1995 to 2002 - GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough and Die Another Day. In 1997, Brosnan received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his contributions to the film industry.

Four Letters of Love is directed by Polly Steele, and will star Brosnan, Gabriel Byrne, and Helena Bonham Carter as the parents of two lovers, portrayed by rising stars Fionn O’Shea (Normal People) and Ann Skelly (The Nevers). The movie is described as a “lyrical and deeply romantic Irish story."
