Irish actor Pierce Brosnan left fans elated as he chatted and took photos with them outside his $100 million Malibu property. Brosnan, 72, stepped outside and greeted the family that had gathered outside his home.
“James Bond he said isn’t it! Happy New Year to you and your family,” the fan quipped at the Tomorrow Never Dies star. “Good blessings to you all,” Brosnan said as he shook their hands, before asking, “Where are you all from?” “Ireland.. obviously,” the fan replied.
“I know, where?,” Pierce asked. “Me mum’s family is from Donegal, my dads Kerry, but from all over Ireland,” the fan said. Her partner went onto shake the actor’s hand, saying, “Pleasure to meet you.” The enthusiastic fans were beaming as the actor then graciously posed for photos with the family. “Pierce Brosnan lovely man even hung around for pictures after,” the fan captioned the video, posting it online.

The James Bond icon is a father of five. He has two sons, Dylan and Paris, 24, with wife Keely Shaye Smith. He also has three kids with his first wife, the late actress Cassandra Harris, namely the late Charlotte, and sons, Christopher, 53, and Sean, 42.
In November last year, Brosnan had fans going wild after he seemed to embody James Bond energy for the cover of GQ’s Men of the Year edition and for the magazine’s Men of the Year Awards in London.
His son Dylan joined him at the event, posing next to his legendary action star dad on the GQ Men of the Year Awards red carpet.
In an interview with British GQ, Brosnan hinted at his interest in returning to the James Bond franchise in a different role.
“Of course, people ask about Bond – ‘would you?’ and whatever – but that’s another man’s job. But the possibilities of working within that film, entertaining. “So it’s going to be exciting to see what happens. I think everything changes, everything falls apart, so you just sit back and enjoy it all,” he said.

When questioned about potentially playing a retired operative, he responded, “Sometimes you entertain it and sometimes you just move on.”
The actor also revealed his desire to produce a sequel to the Thursday Murder Club film, adapted from TV host Richard Osman’s novels, and confirmed he has begun shooting the second season of Paramount+ crime series MobLand.
“It’s just been a delight for two years of working back to back. In this time and place in age, it allows me to play characters,” he said.
“It allows me to enjoy the process of acting and of playing within the image, playing within the symbol, playing within the icon of that person that you’ve created,” he added.
