HE'S a multi-millionaire actor with a chiselled jaw and smouldering eyes who landed the ultimate macho role of James Bond.
But as Pierce Brosnan's career was about to take off with his first box office hit, he suffered the first of a string of devastating tragedies when his first wife Cassandra Harris lost her battle with ovarian cancer.
t that moment, he became a single parent to three children - Charlotte and Christopher, who he had adopted five years earlier after the death of their father, Dermot Harris - and Sean, the eight-year-old son he shared with Cassandra.
Pierce, who went on to have two more children with second wife Keely Shaye Smith, has often said his love for Cassandra, "made me the man I am."
While the actor's marriage to Keely is widely regarded as one of the happiest in showbiz, he hasn't been spared further sorrow.
Tragically, Pierce's daughter Charlotte died in 2013 at the age of 41, from the same cancer that claimed her mother.
Despite his best efforts, Pierce was unable to stop Chris from spiralling into a drug addiction which ended in the Bond star, 'cutting him off' 15 years ago.
This week Chris, 46, was pictured in London, looking pale and draw and bizarrely wearing three pairs of glasses near his North London home.
Yet Pierce spent years battling to save his adopted children and admitted he found it "painful" to admit defeat over Chris.

His wife has lost over 100 pounds and looks great.
Cant say, there’s a few. Kurt Russell I could say. He bought everyone beers one time weeks ago after a wrap party I went to recently, and signed more than 50 autographs in a row. No complaints and he was smiling all the time. He told me he will not do Snake Plissken 3 again ONLY if John Carpenter was involved and we had 2 treatments for that one..
Do you mean The Son?
Had hoped I would like the movie.....I didn’t....
I didn’t like Pierce in this movie
....I almost liked the book, but couldn’t relate to the family members at all...........no redeeming characteristics, imo
Now Kevin Costner....otoh......has held up well!
Really?....do you have a picture?
Maybe they just prefer them ol’ bigun’s.
i thought of that..but brosnan first wife didn’t fit that mold
“Do you mean The Son?”
Yes, that’s it LOL
“Get busy living, or get busy dying’.”
Woulda made a good Bond movie title.
I wouldn’t wish being made famous on even my worst enemy.
There are certain things you never get back. Some privacy being an obvious one.
Kind of like winning the lottery. Most become trainwrecks.
I have always said if I ever win I will be claim it by using two trusts..and no one will be told.
Well, now you have to at least tell me. You shared, therefor my luck has rubbed off,plus you’d need full time security from a professional heh.
It was 120 pounds. I can’t post. Saw it in newsbeens.com
No that wasn’t photo.
I don't know how people can cope with these sorts of tragedies. I suppose I have been blessed to not have to have gone through anything similar.
I've always liked Pierce Brosnan, and this is just another reason to like and respect the man.
Another one in this vein is Rick Moranis, who also had a wife die from Cancer. He gave up his acting career to take care of his small children when she died.
He put his family first, and I respect that.
Do you have any knowledge on what sort of person Rick Moranis is? I’ve noticed he is acting again after a long hiatus. It’s my understanding that his wife died and for this reason he gave up acting to take care of his children.
How many babies was she eating?
No, Rick does need to work in is lifetime. He was one of the few back in the 80’s who thought of getting a percentage of the box office receipts instead of a salary. It’s called “forever payments”. Same with Steve Guttenberg. That’s why I never believed Michael Caine when he said he needs to keep working LOL. Everyone knows it’s bullsh*t. Only egotistical asshole no-talents like Samuel Jackson keep being in movies...they dont need to money-wise.
One that surprises me is Christopher Walken. He has stated he rarely turns down a role no matter how bad it is..just to keep working
