7 Jan
Summary
- Pierce Brosnan underwent extensive prosthetics for his boxing trainer role.
- The biopic 'Giant' focuses on Prince Naseem Hamed and his trainer.
- The film is based on a true rags-to-riches story from Sheffield.

Pierce Brosnan has undergone a dramatic physical transformation for his role as boxing trainer Brendan Ingle in the forthcoming biopic 'Giant.' The actor shared that he spent hours in prosthetics, sporting a bald cap and a prosthetic nose, to embody the Irish trainer. This significant change is a departure from his well-known suave persona.
The film 'Giant' delves into the compelling relationship between legendary British-Yemeni boxer Prince Naseem Hamed and his influential trainer. Amir El-Masry stars as Hamed, while Brosnan portrays the gruff but charismatic Ingle. The narrative draws inspiration from Hamed's remarkable rags-to-riches story.
Set to release in the UK on January 9, 'Giant' promises a gritty portrayal of Hamed's rise from humble beginnings in Sheffield to becoming a global sporting icon in the 1990s. Brosnan's performance has been praised for its raw authenticity and physical metamorphosis.
