Former James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan has been left shaken and stirred by claims a gallery was hosting his first UK art exhibition.
SMS Art Gallery in Long Eaton, Derbyshire, said it would host a three-week show in December.
Tickets were advertised at £15, with a VIP experience available for £500.
Brosnan said he would “never” charge for a meet and greet, adding his legal team had sent a cease and desist letter to the venue.
The gallery said the VIP experience would be held on 8 and 9 December – the first two days of the show – granting ticketholders “access to the inner circle of this grand artistic event”.
Standard tickets for the same days were listed at £150 for those who “wish to share the same venue as Mr Brosnan during this momentous occasion”.
The actor posted, external to his 2.1m Instagram followers to confirm he will not be holding the exhibition.
