Brosnan, who played Bond in four of the super-spy thrillers, was furious over being told he would no longer be part of the blockbuster franchise but insists Craig deserves his abundance of praise and BAFTA nomination for Casino Royale.
Brosnan says, "Daniel Craig is the greatest Bond ever and deservedly so. He was a great choice.
"But I'm still proud to be part of that legacy."
