Nov 08, 2020 by apost team

You probably recognize Pierce Brosnan – and his preferred choice of martini preparation – for his iconic role as James Bond in four films between 1995 and 2005. You'd be forgiven, however, if you've never heard of his 23-year-old son, Dylan Brosnan. 

Born in 1997, Dylan recently graduated college and is well-positioned to take on the world. Dare we say he might outshine his father?

According to Hello! Magazine, Dylan is one of four siblings, having three brothers and a sister. Pierce Brosnan met his first wife, Cassandra Harris, shortly after leaving drama school. She had two children with her deceased husband—Chris and Charlotte—whom Brosnan 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.

In 2013, tragedy hit the Brosnan family once again when Charlotte died of ovarian cancer aged 42. Pierce spoke of how his daughter fought cancer with humanity, dignity, courage, and grace.

"Charlotte fought her cancer with rare grace and humanity, courage and dignity," Brosnan said in a statement at the time, according to the Guardian. "Our hearts are heavy with the loss of our beautiful dear girl. 

Can you imagine the life Dylan must have had? Not only was his dad an actor, but a well-known, well-admired one at that! That kind of life indeed comes with its perks and privileges, but that never got to Dylan's head.

Speaking to the Inquirer in January, Dylan said life growing up as Pierce Brosnan's son was "incredibly normal." 

"He's a great guy, and a great dad," Dylan said at the time. 

The 23-year-old has been a fashion model for Saint Laurent since 2014, when he first appeared in their Spring/Summer catalog. He also made his first runway appearance at the Men's Fashion Week in Paris. Oh, boy!

In 2017, Dylan appeared on the cover of Germany's GQ Style Magazine. Since then, he's modeled for Dolce & Gabbana, H&M, and Moschino. Agents have told him that his freckles, naturally wavy hair, and angelic face make him especially desirable in the industry. 

Apart from modeling, Dylan also took a dab in the film industry, both in front and behind the cameras. He's had roles in movies like Out of Reach (2015) and Iconic (2019). He also worked as a director of photography for the film The Young Motivators Club in 2018. 

In 2016, he worked alongside his dad on the documentary Poisoning Paradise as a production assistant. 

In 2020, both Dylan and brother Paris were invited to be the Golden Globe Awards' Golden Globe Ambassadors. 

Lorenzo Lorio, president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, said the committee chose them for their "tremendous success in the fashion world" and "following in their father's footsteps in entertainment."

As Golden Globe Ambassadors, the brothers chose to use their platform to promote the charity FEED, a non-profit organization dedicated to feeding nutritious meals to school-aged kids across the globe.

Dylan graduated from USC School of Cinematic Arts in May 2020. Like millions of other graduating seniors, it was not the type of ceremony he had expected thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Still, he was able to celebrate with his family in his cap and gown. It was clear that Pierce was incredibly proud of his son. He took to Instagram with warm, congratulatory messages for Dylan.

"Congratulations Dylan on your graduation and academic achievements at USC School of Cinematic Arts," Brosnan wrote. "Go forth into this new world and make it your own. Be fearless, courageous, and generous. Love, Dad."

As if Dylan doesn't already have enough achievements to add to his resume, he's also the lead singer in of the band Raspberry Blonde. Their most well-known song, "Belong," was released in 2016.

And now, the big question: is he single?

Sorry, ladies, but the answer is "no." Dylan has been in a relationship with Avery Wheless for a few years now. She even appeared in some of the family's photos on Instagram during quarantine, which probably means she's a part of the family by now.

Oh, well.

So, what do you think of the up and coming Dylan Brosnan? Is he truly set to outshine his father? We'd love to know your thoughts, and don't forget to pass this story with your friends.
