\n Pierce Brosnan has had a touch-and-go relationship with singing.<\/p>\n

In 2008, he starred as Meryl Streep\u2019s love interest in \u201cMamma Mia!\u201d The popular ABBA movie made $600 million at the global box office, but the former 007 was still roundly mocked for his renditions of \u201cS.O.S.\u201d and \u201cI Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do.\u201d<\/p>\n

The crooner is back in a story with songs in \u201cEurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga,\u201d a comedy starring Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams as an Icelandic pop duo who makes it into the famous music competition, Eurovision. Only this time, he doesn\u2019t so much as hum.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought [I was cast] for my singing,\u201d Brosnan tells The Post. \u201cBut then I found out I didn\u2019t have a song to sing in the film, which was a relief and a disapp<\/a>ointment. But I got the joke. When you read the introduction to my character, Erick, in parentheses [it says] \u2018possibly the most handsome man in Iceland.\u2019\u2009\u201d<\/p>\n

The debonair 67-year-old plays Ferrell\u2019s character Lars\u2019 father, a stubborn gent who enjoys the pub and desperately wishes his son would quit music. One trait Brosnan and his character share: As a kid, he didn\u2019t care about Eurovision.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t know about it when I was a lad growing up in Ireland,\u201d he says. \u201cWe didn\u2019t have a TV. I didn\u2019t really come into that world of television till I left in 1964 when I was a boy of 11. I was a country lad up until then.\u201d<\/p>\n

His first encounter with the telecast was in 1974, when he was 21 and living in London, and ABBA famously won the contest with \u201cWaterloo.\u201d That memory is what sold him on his new film\u2019s script.<\/p>\n

\u201cI read it one morning, and the opening page was, \u2018H\u00fasav\u00edk, 1974. Family watching Eurovision. ABBA.\u2019 I thought there was a joke in there somewhere,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

To tell it, the Californian jetted off to Europe with his wife, Keely, and made his first-ever trip<\/a> to Iceland, where the couple was able to \u201csoak in thermal baths and drink great Icelandic beer.\u201d<\/p>\n

A shocking realization for Brosnan was that many people of Iceland still believe in elves.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had no idea till I read the script, and I couldn\u2019t quite believe it,\u201d he says. \u201cThey seem to have this notion, like the Irish with leprechauns, but the Icelanders certainly have a deep spirituality with the world of elves.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, the actor was nonetheless charmed by the locals. He even has a new, lifelong Icelandic pal.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe made friends with our driver there, and still keep in contact with him,\u201d he says.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
