Emmerdale star Asan N’jie faced a humiliating exit from the soap after a threatening incident. But now, he’s making headlines again with a role in Pierce Brosnan’s latest movie. Despite past setbacks, N’jie’s career is soon going to soar to new heights with this exciting opportunity. Read to know how his role alongside Brosnan is shaping up to be his biggest career move yet!
Emmerdale Actor Asan N’jie Bags Big Hollywood Gig
A once-controversial Emmerdale actor, Asan N’jie (Ellis Chapman), has snagged an exciting new gig with none other than acting icon Pierce Brosnan. He portrayed the character for 14 months, from 2018 to 2019. However, he was fired after threatening another co-star.
At a fancy awards ceremony, the soap star threatened Jamie Lomas from Hollyoaks. According to reports, security had to hold him back. He yelled problematic things like, “I’ll f***ing kill you!” and “I’ll knife you!” As a result, the Emmerdale soap bosses wrote out his character within a day.
Now, five years later, the former soap star is all set to be a part of Pierce Brosnan’s new movie, Giant. This film revolves around the life story of ‘Prince’ Naseem Hamed, the boxer sensation. It will portray how the boxer made it to the top and battled against racism and Islamophobia.
The sources say that Pierce will be playing Brendan Ingle, the legendary boxing trainer. However, the Emmerdale ex’s details are secret for now. He is dropping hints, too, like a sneaky post on Twitter (X) with the show’s IMDb page and a movie camera emoji.
Additionally, Brosnan is bringing some serious transformation to the screen. Just this week, he was caught on camera filming scenes for the movie. The actor ditched his dapper suit and sported a cool blue Adidas tracksuit and white kicks. His hair was dyed white and slicked back, and he topped off the outfit with oversized glasses.
Moreover, Asan is teaming up again with his former co-star Katherine Dow Blyton for the project. Let us see what magic this amazing team brings to the screen.
