Pierce Brosnan might be best known for playing James Bond and singing in the “Mamma Mia” films, but perhaps the most important role he’s played is father to his five kids. And it seems like his offspring are following in his suave footsteps. His two sons, Dylan and Paris Brosnan (who he shares with his second wife Keely Shaye Smith), rocked up at the Vanity Fair and TikTok: A Night for Young Hollywood party on March 8 in Los Angeles looking as dapper as their 69-year-old father.
Dylan, 26, was photographed wearing a plaid suit with a white shirt alongside girlfriend Avery Wheless, while Paris, 22, was suited and booted next to his girlfriend, Alex-Lee Aillon. The pair are super close to their actor dad and have walked the red carpet with him a number of times, including the 2020 Golden Globes.
The stylish trio also did a joint interview with GQ back in September 2022, in which Pierce revealed he’d advised against his sons following him into acting. “Just because it’s fucking hard work,” he said. “It’s a cross to bear. You’re constructing and destroying yourself.” As such, Dylan and Paris have taken different creative paths; the former is a musician and the latter is a model and walked the runways at Balmain, Dolce & Gabbana, and Moschino.
But Dylan and Paris aren’t the only children Pierce has. Sean Brosnan is his son from his first marriage to Cassandra Harris, who tragically died of ovarian cancer in 1991 at the age of 43. Pierce also formally adopted Cassandra’s two children, Charlotte and Chris, after their father died in 1986. Pierce later married journalist Keely, and completed his family with two more sons. “I cherish family very much. I cherish being a father. I did not grow up with a father figure or with a solid family,” he told Gentleman’s Journal in 2021.
