Much like Diamonds Are Forever, as are the friendships forged in the Bond franchise, it seems.

Because 007 songstress Dame Shirley Bassey and James Bond himself Pierce Brosnan acted like they'd never been apart when they enjoyed a chance meeting at the lotsofcharity.com Remarkable dinner on Wednesday night.

Pierce, 61, was even channeling his Hollywood alter ego at the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel, looking sharp in a bow tie, while the ever-glamorous Dame, 78, wore scarlet red lace.

Reunited: Former 007 star Pierce Brosnan and Bond songstress Dame Shirley Bassey reunite at lotsofcharity.com Remarkable dinner at the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel on Wednesday night

Even though Bassey, who is the legendary voice behind three of the famous film soundtracks, never produced a theme for one of Brosnan's four films, they certainly shared a strong 'bond', so to speak.

Dame Shirley made the perfect, elegant counterpart to the debonair actor on Wednesday and looked utterly ravishing in a floor-sweeping dress.

The 78-year-old music veteran was youthful with her hair coiffed in a signature bouffant style, and her decolletage adorned with precious jewels.

Sharp: The handsome actor scrubbed up well in a familiar black suit and crisp white shirt look

Meanwhile actor Pierce was busy proving that he still had that 007 charm when he slicked back his hair to highlight the odd silver fleck.

He looked tanned against a crisp white shirt and dressed sharply in a black suit with satin lapels, something that would have certainly been fit for James himself.

And while Pierce was later superseded by current 007 Daniel Craig, there are calls for Shirley to return with a fourth theme, 51 years since her last one.

The next Bond movie Spectre is already in the works with Craig and new Bond Girls Stephanie Sigman, 28, and 50-year-old Monica Bellucci at the helm.

But Bassey beat previous theme-makers Adele, Madonna and Tina Turner to win over fan support for the upcoming offering as some of her biggest fans launched a campaign to get her the deal.

Spectre's soundtrack singer remains unconfirmed, though as far as leading men go, Pierce recently revealed that he never felt adequate in the role.

He told The Telegraph: 'It was a very hard one to grasp the meaning of, for me. The violence was never real, the brute force of the man was never palpable. It was quite tame, and the characterisation didn’t have a follow-through of reality, it was surface.

'But then that might have had to do with my own insecurities in playing him as well.'

Speaking about whether he'd ever watched himself on film, he said: 'I have no desire to watch myself as James Bond. Cause it’s just never good enough. It’s a horrible feeling.'
