Last week, Netflix held a screening event for The Thursday Murder Club, based on the popular novels of the same name. The show stars Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren, Ben Kingsley and Celie Imrie as a group of seniors who “solve murders” in their spare time. It looks very cute and it’s keeping with the British “cozy murder” genre. Well, at the screening, Pierce chatted to Page Six about his rather glorious silver mane. Pierce basically said: why go to Turkey for a hair transplant when you could just be Irish and drink Guinness?

Pierce Brosnan may be unlocking the secret to why Irish men seem to possess enviable mops of hair.

“I don’t know,” he told Page Six exclusively at the premiere of “The Thursday Murder Club” on (naturally) Thursday evening in New York when asked his theories.

“It’s all in the hair, the old Celtic hair,” he shared before noting that his father, “Dear Tom…had good hair.”

The “Mamma Mia!” star opined that perhaps “potatoes, butter,” or “the Guinness” was responsible for the lack of baldness among older Irish gents.

And when we told Brosnan he seems to be aging like fine wine, the actor replied, “I’m doing my best!”

The actor, 72, will soon be seen in the charming murder mystery on Netflix opposite Ben Kingsley and Helen Mirren, in which he plays a slightly rough-around-the-edges former union activist who helps uncover a cold-case murder. The film is based on a book by Richard Osman.

Honestly, having grown up in an era where hair transplants were super-obvious and mostly looked terrible, it’s shocking to see how far the technology has come in my lifetime. There are so many men who have gone to Turkey or paid for better transplant technology and I can barely tell. I’m not saying that about Pierce though – when you see someone like Pierce, someone who naturally had a fullish head of hair past the age of 60, it really is like seeing a unicorn. He’s 72 years old and he’s got great hair genes. Or maybe it really is the Guinness and the butter.
