The 71-year-old actor gained international fame after starring as the fictional MI6 agent in four Bond movies released between 1995 and 2002.
Pierce continued, "Yes, there's a certain agreement there, but there's a certain world and room to move within the proscenium arch of what [Bond creator and author] Ian Fleming put down. So there's always going to be conflict."
Helen recently told the UK outlet that while she enjoys the performances by Pierce and other actors who played the iconic character she "never liked James Bond."
While explaining her reservation for the 007 world the Red actresses added, "I never like the way women were in James Bond."
