Pierce Brosnan might have been the most charming man alive, but his two sons are great runners-up to that title. But not only did they inherit their dad's angelic good looks but also his humility, grace, and wisdom, among many others.
Pierce is an Irish actor most known for his role as secret agent James Bond in four of the spy films, including "Golden Eye," "Tomorrow Never Dies," "The World Is Not Enough," and "Die Another Day." It was in the romance-musical "Mamma Mia!" that audiences were first introduced to a more playful side of the actor. He returned for the sequel "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again" in 2018.
Apart from being an actor, Pierce was also a family man. He wed his first wife, Cassandra Harris, to whom he was married for 11 years. She had two children with her deceased husband, Chris, and Charlotte, whom Pierce adopted. The couple had their first child together, Sean, in 1983. Sadly, Harris passed away in 1991 after a four-year battle with ovarian cancer, and 22 years later, his daughter Charlotte succumbed to the same fate.
In 1994, Pierce met Keely Shay Smith, an American journalist, who went on to be her loving wife. The couple has two sons, Dylan and Paris Brosnan, and married in 2001 in Ireland.
Since then, their beautifully handsome sons became subjects of media attention of how blessed they are with the genetics of a dashing and talented man – both things they inherited from their father, Pierce.
Paris, the youngest among the two, was dubbed by many as an exact replica of his dashing father. Read on to learn more about Paris and his relationship with his father.
Interestingly, children of many celebrities in Hollywood either follow in their parent's footsteps into the limelight or could not care less about the glamor and glitz stardom brings. Paris, the youngest of the two Brosnan boys, is more laid back and is threading through living the simple life of someone who has an A-list celebrity father.
"Growing up, I was always proud that he was my dad. I didn't want to hide it, but I wouldn't tell everyone," he told the Inquirer.
He also went on to reveal that ever since, their dad had strongly urged them against pursuing a career in acting and instead look for other creative ways to express themselves through art.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, in 2019, Paris was studying at the School of Film and Television at Loyola Marymount University. But occasionally, they have been moving back and forth from California to Hawaii, where their family home is based at.
Aside from inheriting the show-stopping good looks from his father, Paris was also blessed with his father's incredible wardrobe.
"I steal clothes all the time. He does it so effortlessly. And he's very comfortable, he doesn't have to try at all. He'll see me wearing something and he'll be like, 'I used to have a jacket like that!' And I'll be like, 'Well, it looks better on me now,'" he cheekily revealed to People Magazine.
Their resemblance was uncanny. Many of Pierce's fans were surprised to see Paris, in a striking image of his father, at the Golden Globe Awards in 2020.

Like his father, Paris was also devoted to philanthropy. He had previously worked with FEED in Sri Lanka, where he directed a short film to document the vital work The World Food Programme does to feed hungry communities in Asia.
"Meeting the children and meeting a single mother who was supporting four children after the death of her husband made a lasting impression on me," he said. "These children and their parents want the same things we want. They want to be healthy, to be happy, and they want to be educated. They want economic security; they just don't have as many advantages and opportunities as we do."
Paris and Dylan were also recognized in People's Sexiest Man Alive 2022 issue. In an interview with the magazine, they were honest in recognizing the benefits of having a decorated celebrity and actor like their father, Pierce.
"I think we need to just be grateful for our blessings. It's always gonna be there, and we got to recognize it. At the end of the day, we're just grateful to be here," they shared.
In 2021, Paris worked as a production assistant on the set of "Black Adam," a movie in which his father, Pierce, played a superhero for the first time.
In a talk with People Magazine, Paris revealed that seeing his father work up close gave him the opportunity to learn more about his work ethic.
"You can't put half effort into something like that. You have to go all in. I think having Dad help us, it'd be a little intimidating, but he's also the best coach we could ask for if he wanted to do it!" he told the magazine.
