Hollywood star Pierce Brosnan pops into Edinburgh salon ahead of filming for Eurovision movie

Edinburgh has once again become a hot spot for Hollywood A-listers, as filming gets underway for the new Netflix comedy, Eurovision.

It seems celebrities can't get enough of this city. Last month we had Tyrese Gibson embracing age-old traditions, this week Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams have been scooting around Calton Hill on Segways...and now Pierce Brosnan has popped into an Edinburgh salon.  

The former James Bond star dropped by Cheynes Hair Salon on Lothian Road to get some TLC with his wife - and apparently 007 is "lovely".

The team at Cheynes shared a photo of Brosnan posing with staff in the salon to social media, writing: "When one of the great James Bonds pops into the salon.

"What a great guy Pierce Brosnan is. You and your lovely wife are welcome anytime!"

Can you imagine getting your blow dry with James Bond sitting next to you?

Pierce Brosnan is just one of the stars featuring in the spoof movie that follows the journey of two Icelandic musicians taking part in the 1972 Eurovision Song Contest, which was actually filmed at Edinburgh's Usher Hall.

Various locations across the capital are being used to shoot the film, you can find this week's road closures for the movie here.
