Pierce Brosnan, 73, and his 25-year-old son Paris were seen together in New York, a public appearance that followed their discussions about the complexities of being labeled 'nepo babies.'
Brosnan, known for his iconic role as James Bond, expressed that he does not want their names to be "tangled up in any tawdry suggestion" that Paris should not pursue acting due to his father's fame. "If you have a passion and a desire to do the work, you must do it," Pierce stated in an interview with The Sunday Times magazine.
Paris Brosnan echoed these sentiments, acknowledging the privilege associated with his father's legacy while emphasizing his commitment to earning recognition through his own work. "I'm so fortunate that I have my dad's name but I want my art to carry its own weight," Paris said. He added that his father's primary advice is to "be kind to yourself and others."
Paris's journey into the arts began when he made his on-set debut in 2023 during the filming of "The Unholy Trinity," a project Pierce was involved in. The director expressed interest in having Pierce's sons appear in the film, and both Paris and his brother Dylan took on roles as cowboys. Pierce noted that he observed Paris "reveling" in being on camera.
Paris has been actively pursuing a career in the arts, recently debuting his first art exhibition in London titled "Collective Energy." Pierce expressed pride in his son's artistic endeavors, sharing his support on Instagram. The exhibition explored themes of human connection and energy.
Beyond his artistic pursuits, Paris has also been involved with charitable work, including a trip to Sri Lanka with Clarins to support the World Food Programme. During this trip, he collaborated with Lauren Bush and her FEED Project, an experience he described as "incredible."
While Paris has a role forthcoming in a new film, Pierce Brosnan had previously cautioned his children about the demanding nature of the acting profession, describing it as "f***ing hard work."
