A HOLLYWOOD legend filmed his new movie in the UK's 'red light district' - as extra security was hired to protect him. The Sun's photos show the legendary actor unrecognisable as he marches along a road in Leeds ' Holbeck neighbourhood. It was once upon a time the only "managed" area for sex workers until the scheme was shut down.

James Bond star Pierce Brosnan has been snapped on the set biopic Giant, a movie about Prince' Naseem Hamed . Filming trucks for the huge production descended on Holbeck - where sex workers once offered hook-ups for “£5 and two cigarettes”. Images show security and a police car on set.



An insider said: “Production called in more than 15 security staff to film in the Holbeck area and local police officers were spotted visiting the set to keep an eye on things throughout the day. “Pierce Brosnan was seen being escorted to his car flanked on either side by security. “In other locations used for filming, the James Bond star has roamed the streets on his own with no close protection, so it was quite surprising.

” The new boxing movie tells the story of one of boxing's most significant friendships, with Brosnan portraying Brendan Ingle, the Irish-born trainer who guided 'Prince' Naseem Hamed to stardom. With his fading hair, navy blue tracksuit, and aging face, this Hollywood actor could easily blend in as an ordinary man walking through the streets of Yorkshire in photos from the set. Naseem Hamed, a British-Yemeni boxer, rose through the ran.
