Many of us are familiar with Pierce Brosnan as James Bond, the dapper international snoop who woos his leading ladies in a variety of foreign locales. Although Brosnan’s portrayal of the British secret service operative is still recognizable, his off-screen life is very different from his on-screen life.
Brosnan has had a long and incredibly successful career at the top of the entertainment business. He is currently 69 years old (when did that happen?!). Additionally, he has built up quite a fan base, with admirers from all over the globe including themselves in it.
That Pierce Brosnan once held the title of “The Sexiest Man Alive” is not all that shocking. However, the well-known actor has a thing for his wife Keely Shaye Smith when it comes to affection.
According to rumors, the pair first connected at a Cabo San Lucas party in 1994. They got along great right away. Wherever I went in the world, I missed her, and I would send her tickets to come see me so we could be together, Brosnan remembered. We simply seemed to click.

Pierce is a devoted father and grandfather who has a total of five children and three grandkids.
It’s safe to say that when actor Pierce Brosnan looks back on all he’s accomplished and done, he won’t have many regrets. Although the actor’s life hasn’t always been sunshine and roses, he has endured heartbreaking loss over the course of two decades, first when he became a widower and then 22 years later when he lost his daughter to the same illness that had taken her mother’s life.
That the Goldeneye actor is now approaching the stage of his life where he can be anticipated to step back from the spotlight and concentrate on home comforts is indeed difficult to comprehend.
Looking at his children, who are of course now adults leading their own working lives, will do a great deal to bring that reality home. At the age of 21, his youngest son, Paris, has a striking resemblance to a young Pierce.
Overall, Pierce is the father of five children: two with his current spouse Keely Shaye Smith, one from his marriage to his former wife Cassandra Harris, and two that he adopted in 1986 from Cassandra’s previous marriage.
In 2013, after Charlotte, his daughter, sadly passed away from ovarian cancer, Pierce was left with a void in his heart that will never truly be filled.
His commitment to being engaged in the lives of his other children, however, has never wavered, and it would seem that his two sons, Dylan and Paris, are following in their well-known father’s footsteps.
Dylan, Pierce’s oldest child, is a model, singer, and director. Paris, on the other hand, loves movies and works as a model.
The James Bond actor’s youngest kid, Paris, is thought to resemble his father the most.
Paris proclaimed, “He’s the best coach they could have ever wished for.”
Fans of their father were surprised to see Dylan and Paris Brosnan as fully grown men because they were largely shielded from the limelight as children.
When he made an appearance at the Golden Globes event, Paris in particular grabbed attention. Online users couldn’t get over how much he resembled Pierce when he was younger.
In fact, social media is inundated with remarks praising the similarity of Pierce and Paris whenever they are spotted together.
As previously mentioned, Paris is a model (which comes as no surprise given his DNA), but he’s also a kind man who cares a great deal about the world and wants to change it. After visiting Sri Lanka, the 21-year-old made an inspirational film to showcase the UN World Food Program’s humanitarian efforts.
In order to highlight the initiatives being made to fight child hunger there, Paris accompanied the WFP as they visited farms and schools in the nation.
While it may seem as though Pierce’s two sons are destined to make a livelihood off of their good looks and acting prowess, both are apparently serious about their studies. Pierce’s two sons graced the cover of GQ Korea in May of last year.
Dylan has a degree from the USC School of Cinematic Arts, and Paris, who enjoys painting as much as Dylan does, had his first display of paintings at Art Basel Miami in 2021.
Paris and Dylan both praise the impact of their father. Dylan said in a 2020 interview:
“As we join the amazing roster of former Golden Globe Ambassadors, many of whom have gone on to pursue their own goals in the entertainment industry, we’re pleased to honor our dad’s legacy.
“‘Be kind’ is the most important lesson our father ever taught us, and it’s one of the main reasons Paris and I chose to pursue filmmaking and why we want to tell important stories. It is a real privilege to have this chance to draw attention to children who are hungry.
Pierce appears to be placing a higher value on spending time with his loved ones these days. Brosnan purchased a house in Hawaii, which he has kept a mystery, to avoid being seen by the media.
The performer has enjoyed himself by practicing his craft. Fans were given sneak peeks into his workshop and work earlier this year, and the caliber of the work led to a small frenzy.
Their home is situated in a stunning oceanfront neighborhood on five acres of property in Kauai, Hawaii. The family has been alternating between this house and their other residence, an estate in Malibu, California, since they purchased it in 2002.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the family spent the majority of its time in Hawaii and made an effort to engage in activities that brought them into direct contact with the outdoors.
I don’t know about you, but Pierce Brosnan is a major favorite of mine. He has a wonderful family, and I wish them the best of luck in the future.
