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.

Jackman’s wife is a bit older than he.
So sad about Brosnan.
I don’t know much about him. He would have made a good Bond if he were a little more powerfully built and had better stories.
I do remember that he said something nasty about America and conservatives. Typical Hollywood jab at us. I lost respect for him after that. Not that I followed him but he became one of the actors on my **** list.
That’s a lot to be through. At that point, the sanest thing to do is just grab onto a life preserver and hang on.
He’s an asshole. I’ve met with him many times either at his home at Malibu or at the studios. Treats everyone around him like sh*t. I think the final time a year ago was when he threw a stapler in front of us, at a delivery guy who didn’t like the way he waited for the signature..yeah, I know this is a fluff piece to tug at your heart strings but based on what I’ve seen and heard, I pretty much hated this asshole afterwards.

Well....not surprised..but I will still give him props for sticking with his wife.
Credit goes to Baraq Hussein too for being married to a woman who is manlier and possibly with a larger penis than he has.
Thanks, now I know.
I have no doubt that Sean in his prime could have wiped the floor with him.
Yup. Makes it hard to have sympathy for him.
I dont even feel bad for the producer who cast him in the last series about Texas. Told him multiple times to drop his Remington Steele fantasy and not cast him, and to cast an American actor.
He would be more believable now. I didn’t like him in the role as a younger man, he was too lightweight, I couldn’t see him in a fistfight or a shootout. In his later roles as an older man, he comes across as serious. You would think twice before trifling with him...
I talked to Tina Turner when they performed at Troy.
She was actually a nice person.
So on the flip side, which one that you have worked with is the nicest to those around him or her?
People dont realize that Fedex, UPS, USPS ...DO NOT DELIVER to celebrities. It’s a SPECIAL PRIVATE SERVICE and this one company has all the addresses of Denzel washington etc. I know the dude who does this area, and it almost hit him the in the head. I told the exec beside me, that stapler hits him the dude will be rich from assault..
I just saw where he is an “environmental activist”.
Ugh.
I still remember the comment she made on an Oprah show.
She was showing off this museum type original Louis the whatever number furniture.
She didn’t make any apologies.
She said something to the effect of WHy not, I can afford it..or Why not, I wanted it.
Now that is a lady who went through a lot and rose out of the ashes of her life.
