Although he’s not completely sold on Donald Trump, actor Pierce Brosnan is giving the president some credit when it comes to advances in America’s economy.
The actor, 66, known to many as the man who played James Bond prior to Daniel Craig, previously said he was considering leaving the U.S. altogether as a result of Trump’s politics. However, in a recent interview with The Hill’s “In The Know,” the actor credits Trump for improvements in the economy.
“I think what he’s done for the economy is very good,” Brosnan said. “People are working, and that’s a step in the right direction.”

“This country is part of my life,” the “Mamma Mia!” star explained. “I’m an American citizen. I love America and America’s been very good to me. And I want to see happiness come back into our society.”
