- Pierce Brosnan made an appearance with his two sons during a recent red carpet premiere.
- The "Mamma Mia" star has two children with wife Keely Shaye Smith.
Pierce Brosnan walked the red carpet with his youngest sons Paris and Dylan, and the two twentysomethings were the spitting image of their famous father during the event.
The eldest Brosnan stars in the new Netflix film "The Out-Laws" alongside Nina Dobrev and Adam DeVine, and the three Brosnan men attended the Los Angeles premiere of the comedy on Monday.
Twenty-two-year-old Paris looked sharp in a black leather jacket, black pants, and a black collared shirt, while his older brother, 26-year-old Dylan, wore a classic black suit with a white shirt and a tie to the event.
The "Mamma Mia" star, wearing a light blue suit, posed for several photos with his sons, as well as other cast and crew members, during the red carpet.
While some celebrities don't mind their kids following in their footsteps, the 70-year-old has actively encouraged his sons to avoid an acting career. In a 2022 interview with the trio in GQ, Brosnan called acting "fucking hard work."
"It's a cross to bear. You're constructing and destroying yourself," the actor said at the time.
Paris and Dylan, who were Golden Globe Awards ambassadors in 2020, have both made their way into the entertainment industry, however. Paris has worked as a model and directed a short film, while Dylan graduated from the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts in 2020 and now works as a filmmaker.
Brosnan shares Paris and Dylan with wife Keely Shaye Smith, whom he met in 1994 and married in 2001. The "James Bond" actor was previously married to Australian actress Cassandra Smith.
Brosnan and Smith had one child together, their son Sean, in 1983. Brosnan also adopted Smith's son Christopher and daughter Charlotte from her first marriage after their biological father died in 1986, with the two taking Brosnan's last name. Smith died in 1991 of ovarian cancer, and Charlotte died in 2013 at age 41 of the same disease.
