Brosnan is Thurman's hero

Pierce Brosnan has been hailed a hero on the set of his new movie - after he reportedly saved his co-star Uma Thurman from an out-of-control van.

The former James Bond star was working on the set of Percy Jackson And The Lightning Thief when he noticed a runaway vehicle hurtling down a hill towards Thurman, according to reports.

And the actor immediately sprung into action - hopping into the stunt car and slamming on the brakes to veer into a curb instead of an assembled group of cast and crew.
