A Hollywood Icon Finds Peace in Paradise
Listen up, folks. Picture this: Pierce Brosnan, the legendary actor known for his role as James Bond, is chilling out in Hawaii with his family during these uncertain times. Alongside his wife, Keely Shaye Smith, and their two kids, Dylan, 23, and Paris, 19, Pierce has been making the most of the quarantine period. "I wanted to be with my family," Pierce shares warmly in Closer Weekly, the latest issue of which is now available on newsstands. "We have a wee cottage out there on the North Shore, and it sits on five acres of lush Hawaiian beauty." Can you imagine spending your days in such serene surroundings?
For Pierce, now 67, and Keely, 56, life in Hawaii has been nothing short of a dream come true. The couple has been soaking up the sun on the beaches, enjoying the island's breathtaking scenery. They even celebrated Keely's birthday with a romantic photo session capturing their love amidst the stunning Hawaiian sunset. Now, as Pierce reflects on his life's journey, he feels the urge to pen down his memoir. "At 67 years of age, it’s time to put something down," he confessed to Entertainment Tonight Canada. "It’s hard, sometimes you are faced with the blankness of memory, but it’s a challenge I’m ready to embrace." Isn't that inspiring?
Love Story: The Day They Met
Let me take you back to where it all began. It was April 1994 on a serene beach in Mexico when Pierce's life took an incredible turn. That's when he met the love of his life, Keely Shaye Smith. "We talked until 3 in the morning," Keely fondly recalls about their unforgettable encounter in Cabo San Lucas to People. "He’s intelligent, captivating, and his real beauty emanates from the soul." It wasn’t long before the Die Another Day star was swept off his feet by Keely's "vitality" and "passion." Their love story blossomed, and they eventually tied the knot in August 2001.

He’s ready to document his life's greatest achievements in a captivating memoir, sharing his journey with the world.
Aging Gracefully: Pierce's Take on Life
Pierce embraces his age with grace and wisdom. "I’m beginning to feel my years [but] I’m beginning to love my years," he says with a smile. "With all of that comes lovely, joyful well-being." For Pierce, life is precious, fleeting, and worth cherishing every moment. "It can be snatched away without any prior warning so why waste it? That’s why I enjoy my wonderful, beautiful family," he reflects. His family is his anchor, his source of joy, and his motivation to continue living life to the fullest.
