As the actor told Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday night, the girl who gave him his first kiss broke his wee little heart. Carol, whom Brosnan described as “a lovely girl,” apparently did not see that she would be missing out on a relationship with a superstar. “I bet her husband wasn’t even James Bond once,” Kimmel said. Brosnan is now appearing in _No Escape_ alongside Lake Bell and Owen Wilson. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4014625/pierce-brosnan-first-kiss/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4014625/pierce-brosnan-first-kiss/"},"headline":"Pierce Brosnan's First Kiss Broke His Little Heart","datePublished":"2015-08-28T13:56:31.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T10:31:29.869Z","description":"Bet she's sorry now","url":"https://time.com/4014625/pierce-brosnan-first-kiss/","keywords":["celebrities","Jimmy Kimmel"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb5d71e8b3098ff9b/6988615f35ba6f83adc0ee91/pierce-brosnan.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sarah Begley","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sarah-begley/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb5d71e8b3098ff9b/6988615f35ba6f83adc0ee91/pierce-brosnan.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Celebrity Sightings In Los Angeles - August 27, 2015","caption":"Celebrity Sightings In Los Angeles - August 27, 2015","creditText":"RB/Bauer-Griffin—GC Images/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/celebrities/","name":"celebrities"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4014625/pierce-brosnan-first-kiss/","name":"Pierce Brosnan's First Kiss Broke His Little Heart"}}]}] ```
