People were in for a shock on Friday morning when they saw the first page of The Times of India newspaper.
Because this is what they saw:
No one has been able to figure yet what a one-time James Bond is doing endorsing pan masala. Especially given that Pierce Brosnan hasn’t been a regular feature in Indian advertisements.
And if you thought that was cringe-worthy there was this ad as well:
Twitterati obviously couldn’t help themselves. Check out some of the tweets:
Pierce Brosnan.

So how did they dupe @PierceBrosnan to do a Pan Bahar ad? Did he have a brain freeze? Was it alien abduction? MI6 must investigate

So much pressure on stand-up comedians and twitter comedians to crack a Pierce Brosnan joke today.
