Who's That with Ellen?

Answer: Pierce Brosnan.

Pierce’s lip was hit by a stuntman during the making of “Tomorrow Never Dies.”

Pierce’s stepfather took him to see his first movie, “Goldfinger,” in 1964. It was at that point that Pierce decided to take up acting.

Pierce’s claustrophobia made the filming of certain scenes in “Dante's Peak” very difficult.

In 1969, Pierce saw a fire-eater teaching women how to put the flames across their bare chests. This inspired him how to learn to eat fire himself. Soon afterwards, a circus agent saw Pierce eating flames and hired him. Much later, the writers of “Remington Steele” wrote a fire-eating episode titled "High Flying Steele,” where Remington and Laura go undercover in a circus.

Pierce will be joining Ellen on Wednesday to talk about his new movie, “Mamma Mia!”

DEAREST ELLEN, STAFF AND ELLEN FANS,

HELLO FROM CHRIS GOODWIN IN AUSTRALIA. I NEED YOUR HELP, I NEED EVERYONE'S HELP IN BRINGING MY DREAM TO ELLEN.

I HAVE BEEN WRITING TO ELLEN FOR MONTHS, IN THE HOPE THE WONDERFUL, KIND, GORGEOUS, FUNNY AND GENEROUS ELLEN WILL HELP ME BRING MY DREAM TO LIFE. CAN ANYONE HELP ME CONVINCE ELLEN TO BRING MY DREAM TO LIFE???.

I HAVE LOOOOOOOVED MUSIC EVER SINCE I WAS A LITTLE GIRL, I WOULD MAKE UP SONGS AND PERFORM THEM FOR ANYONE WHO WOULD LISTEN, BUT SOMEWHERE BETWEEN MY MOTHER TELLING ME "GIRLS SHOULDN'T BE IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS - IT'S A BUSINESS FOR BOYS ( THANK GOODNESS TIMES HAVE CHANGED!! ) TO PARENTHOOD, MY DREAM FELL TO THE BOTTOM OF MY LIST OF THINGS TO DO, BUT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE. I EVEN DATED A GUY WHO WAS A MUSIC TEACHER, AND IN A BAND, JUST SO I COULD BE NEAR THE MUSIC, I GOT TO SING BACK UP VOCALS ON A DEMO, AND I FELT SO INCREDIBLY ALIVE, LIKE IT WAS MEANT TO BE, BUT, AFTER SEEING THE WONDERFUL, TALENTED, BRILLIANT ARTIST, JOSH GROBAN IN CONCERT IN OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR, I REALLY AND TRULY HAD MY A-HA MOMENT, MY HUGE KICK IN THE BUTT, I NOT ONLY ENJOYED THE SHOW IMMENSELY, LOVE JOSH'S BAND! BUT I FELT LIKE I SHOULD BE UP THERE ON THE STAGE, PERFORMING, NOT SITTING IN THE AUDIENCE. SO, I HAVE BEEN SHARING MY LYRICS WITH ELLEN, IN THE HOPE ELLEN WILL HELP FLY MY TO HER, AND HELP ME MEET AND WORK WITH THE VERY TALENTED, AND DOWN TO EARTH, JOSH, TO HAVE JOSH HELP ME WRITE MUSIC FOR AT LEAST ONE OF MY LYRICS. THIS IS A WILD, CRAZY, SEEMINGLY IMPOSSIBLE DREAM, I REALIZE, BUT IT IS MY DREAM, AND I WANT IT TO COME TO LIFE. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME??ELLEN, CAN YOU HELP ME, PLEASE???

TO EVERYONE WHO WILL LISTEN: HERE ARE JUST SOME OF MY LYRICS. LYRICS THAT I HAVE WRITTEN, MY STORIES I WANT TO SHARE AND HOPE THAT SOMEONE WILL LOVE MY LYRICS AND HELP ME PASS THEM ON TO JOSH IN THE HOPE JOSH WILL LOVE MY LYRICS TOO!!!)

TITLED: LEARN TO LOVE AGAIN

( I WROTE THESE LYRICS, BASED LOOSELY ON AN EX-BOYFRIEND - NOT A VERY NICE PERSON, SO IT TURNED OUT - I WAS YOUNG!!, HENCE THE WORD EX!!!, ABOUT HEADING TOWARDS THE END OF THE RELATIONSHIP, AND OF COURSE, AT THE END OF THE RELATIONSHIP, YOU THINK YOU WILL NEVER FIND LOVE AGAIN, LIVING IN THE MOMENT YOU SAD AND EVENTUALLY YOU FIND LOVE AGAIN, SOMETHING WE ALL WANT - TO BE LOVED!!)


SECRETS INSIDE YOUR CLOUDY WORLD
WHISPERS AND RUMORS,
TRUTH UNSURE
IN SILENT PATH
WALK OUT THE DOOR
HERE ENDS OUR MISGUIDED ADVENTURE
YOU WON'T SEE MY TEARS
I WILL DISGUISE ALL
I MAY WEAKENED, BUT I REFUSE TO FALL

FOR I, I'LL BE LEFT STANDING TALLER
I'LL LIVE A BIT WISER
I'LL TRY TO BE STRONGER
I WILL LEARN TO TRUST AGAIN
I WILL LEARN TO LOVE AGAIN

AS I CLEAR THE REMNANTS OF TWO
MEMORIES IN TATTERS
ECHOES OF US, YESTERDAY'S NEWS
SILENCE IS DEAFENING
MY SADNESS COMFORTING
AS I STAY IN THE DARKNESS
ON MY OWN, ON MY OWN

AND I'M STILL HERE STANDING TALLER
I'M LIVING A BIT WISER
I AM A LITTLE STRONGER
I WILL LEARN TO LOVE AGAIN
I WANT TO LOVE AGAIN

ONE SUNDAY MORNING
YOU SEE US HAND IN HAND
IN JENNY'S CORNER CAFE
YOUR PIERCING BLUE EYES
TURN STORMY GREY
I SEE THROUGH YOUR SOUL
YOUR GOODBYE SET ME FREE
SET ME FREE

NOW I'M
HERE STANDING TALLER
HERE SO MUCH WISER
HERE A LOT STRONGER
I AM LOVING AGAIN

I'M HERE STANDING TALLER
HERE SO MUCH WISER
HERE A LOT STRONGER
I AM LOVING AGAIN
I AM LOVING AGAIN
YOUR GOODBYE SET ME FREE
AND
I AM LOVING AGAIN

THAT IS IT, MY LYRICS FOR LEARN TO LOVE AGAIN, I WROTE THEM A LONG TIME AGO.

PLEASE HELP ME ASK ELLEN FOR HELP, PLEASE HELP ME BRING MY LYRICS TO MUSICAL LIFE BY MEETING AND WORKING WITH THE VERY TALENTED, WONDERFUL JOSH GROBAN. IT WOULD MAKE MY SOUL SING.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME, AND FOR ANYONE WHO HAS TAKEN THE TIME TO READ MY DREAM.
KIND REGARDS,
CHRIS GOODWIN

Hello anyone and everyone who will listen, I need to speak in my loudest voice all the way from Australia.

I have been writing to the Ellen show for months in the hope she will help me bring my dream to life.

Please help me convince Ellen to fly me all the way to USA and bring my dream to life.

My dream of bringing my lyrics to life, to meet and work with the extremely talented Josh Groban, for Josh to help me write music to my lyrics.

Please, for anyone who has a dream, don't give up, I am not going to give up on mine, I am determined to ask for Ellen's help until she says ""YES"" to my dream.

kind regards,
Chris Goodwin

keep up the good work with such a fabulous show - it is very entertaining.
