Stepson of legendary actor Pierce Brosnan, has a stepson, Christopher Brosnan. After his mother passed away, Pierce Brosnan stayed in Christopher’s life but time passed and he cut Christopher off.
As 20 years passed, Christopher’s recent pictures caused a stir on social media, where people shared their thoughts.
Pierce was first married with Cassandra Harris, in 1980. Cassandra had two children, Charlotte and Christopher, from her ex-husband, Dermot Harriss.
Their son Sean Brosnan was born in 1984. After Dermot Harris passed away in 1986, Brosnan adopted her children as he was seeing them his family. But in 1991, Cassandra lost her battle against ovarian cancer, and she too passed away.
Brosnan was left with three children, where he became a single widowed father while he was working in the industry.
“I don’t look at the cup as half full, believe me,” Brosnan said after he lost his wife. In 2013, their daughter Charlotte lost her life from ovarian cancer, same as her mother, and that devastated Brosnan.
Pierce announced Charlotte’s passing as, “On June 28 at 2 p.m., my darling daughter Charlotte Emily passed on to eternal life, having succumbed to ovarian cancer.”
In 2001, Brosnan found love again with Keely Shaye Smith, and they welcomed two sons, Dylan and Paris.
“I know what it’s like to bring up sons, and it can be a very arduous road. My fatherly instincts are purely my own. They relate back to no one because there was no one,” Brosnan said.
After losing Cassandra, Pierce and his children got more closer. “You just feel more deeply now. You hug more deeply, you love more deeply,” the actor said.
Brosnan tried his best to be there for the grieving children, who lost their mother. Brosnan was crying too, as he showed them that they weren’t grieving alone.
“I can see the pain in Christopher’s eyes, the absence in his heart for his mother.”
Christopher tried to follow Brosnan’s footsteps, as he went to UCLA for a screenwriting course.
But when Christopher struggled with drug addiction, Brosnan cut him off.
“It’s painful because you shut down. You never completely cut them off, but I have to cut Christopher off. I had to say ‘Go. Get busy living, or get busy dying.'”
“For all his waywardness and addiction, I adore Christopher and just want him well and healthy,” Brosnan said.
In 2019, Christopher was seen outside. That caused a stir on social media. Again, in June of 2024, Christopher was spotted again. There were comments like:

“He looks older than his father. Sadly, drugs will do that to a person.”
“Son looks so much older than his dad.”
“Not good when you look older than your dad,”
“He doesn’t look well. Not at all.”
