Pierce Brosnan has been making the rounds this week to promote his new film Love Is All You Need. I’m including pics of Pierce from last night’s screening of the film in NYC, as well as from the Chaplin Awards Gala a few days ago, also in NYC. For both events, Pierce brought his wife as his date. Pierce married Keely Shaye Smith in 2001 after his first wife, Cassandra Harris, passed away. What’s remarkable about Pierce and Keely is that I never hear anything bad about them. Like, they don’t seem to have any drama or weirdness as a couple. He seems to adore her, and she seems to adore him and they live a relatively quiet life. I would imagine Keely gets a lot of crap about her weight, but my feeling is… Pierce seems to love her as she is and who really cares?
Also, they both look WAY younger than they really are. She’s 49 years old (WHAT?) and he turns 60 next month (OMG). Pierce talked about aging when he was on Today earlier this week. He said, “Some days it rattles and shakes in there psychically, but ultimately I feel nothing but a great gift of life. There’s nothing to prove. I feel comfortable in my own skin.” Pierce also says, “I love what I do and I had a bit of luck and I’m still driven and I turn 60 here next month and I’m very much aware of my time and life and just have nothing but … humble gratitude for being an actor; it’s a very capricious game.” Here’s the interview:

Meanwhile, Pierce has just signed on for another spy film, this one called November Man. He’s doing it with Bond Girl Olga Kurylenko, and Pierce said: “I think there’s another room on the stage for another spy! Daniel (Craig) can’t have it all to himself. My co-star is a lovely actress called Olga Kurylenko, who seems to be going through leading men like hot dinners. She started with Daniel Craig and she’s gonna end up with Brosnan! She’s a gorgeous actress, beautiful woman. She’s in and it’s the older spy, younger spy.” Um… I love Pierce and everything, but I’m not sure if I would watch that.

Would I hit it? In my mind I already have.
+1
Oh yes….yes indeed!
Really?!? I’ve never understood the appeal of Pierce Brosnan. He’s so grey and sinewy and wimpy and sort of…old. He looks like he should be hosting a game show in 1987, or fighting KAOS with Agent 99. There’s an episode of the Simpsons where he voices a sentient machine who falls in love with Marge, and I assumed she was exactly the kind of demographic that Pierce Brosnan appeals to. I don’t dislike him as a person, I just find him totally unappealing as a sex symbol. (Sorry).
Duh.
Like there’s even a question.
Yes!
Until my screams are heard through the hills of Ireland.
Officially my favourite comment today.
My fav x2- I have loved him since forever! He has had to deal with alot of sadness in his life, so glad he and his wife are happy-imagine living in Hawaii helps- LOL!!
LOL!
I wish we had like buttons here.
Me, too
+2. Scrap it – the best of the week 🙂
@Tiffany
haha. o-m-g
I wonder if his wife has a medical issue. She looks uncomfortably large. He looks great for his age. Sounds like a nice guy.
I thought of that too. She used to have a gardening show on PBS several years ago and she was much thinner.
They look very happy together.
you must be nutz or blind or both …she’s gawjus you jealous bitch …
looks like a nice gal too ……lol
So, I have no idea what that even means, “uncomfortably large” — she looks pretty comfortable in her husband’s arms in these photos. But with that caveat, Smith did in fact give an interview ages ago (2003/2004-ish?) and hinted that she gained weight due to a metabolic issue that emerged during/after her pregnancies.
“she looks pretty comfortable in her husband’s arms”
lol, yes she does!
Also look at the happiness that is his face. He clearly considers himself a lucky bastard for having a wife like her.
Yes, I remember something about that. I think we all know what Keely used to look like, so it’s fair to say she’s gained a bit. Always very pretty, though. And it’s lovely that they still seem very into each other after almost two decades together.
I believe she has said she has Hashiomoto’s hypothyroidism which leads to weight gain (especially in the face) and can ultimately destroy the thyroid if not treated. I had something similar happen to me after I was pregnant, it really sucks because no matter how much you work out or how healthy you eat, the weight won’t come off.
Hmmm. I have that. Your body develops antibodies to your thyroid and start killing it. I’ve been on thyroid replacement therapy for years. It’s a fairly common autoimmune disorder. I gained 5 lbs by the time I was diagnosed (it was an incidental finding during a hormone panel). Lost the weight soon after. I’d kind of be surprised if that was her issue. At any rate, she is gorgeous and he sleeves me out ever since Bag O’ Bones. Fake jogging with his little pot belly. Ugh.
I thought yes, but then I saw the shaka picture and thought, hmm, no, I guess not.
I think they’re both very pretty.
You’re not going to have wrinkles if you have little fat behind your skin. I’m getting heavier as I’m getting older, and I think I actually look better.
Most do look better if they gain a little weight through the years. Nature’s botex and the plus is that you don’t have to look like a bubblehead like a lot of Hollywood women because their face is full of botex but their body is scary thin.
A million times yes. He is beautiful inside and out.
I have dreams of a threesome with Pierce and Sean Connery…
OMG
WHOA
I am paralyzed with lust now. Can that actually happen?
And Connery has to wear a Kilt, formal dress if possible!!
+ whiskey + fireplace + knitted things?
Ö__Ö
Yes! You know what, we might as well invite Ewan too, if we’re gonna have hot men in kilts………
Well if there’s whiskey, a fireplace and wool, then Cumberbatch has to come, too.
Sweet heavens – those are good fantasies.
+1
WOW!!!! That’s an intriguing thought!
☺ Sean could be 110 years old and I’d still jump on his *ahem*
Oh yeah. I don’t care how old he is!
Seriously though, I’m happy that he & Sheely have such a great marriage.
We all age, we all gain, or lose, weight over the years, we all go through changes….How cool that they are still so into each other & they make a beautiful couple.
lovely comment AND truth ….
him & his wife both look great ..
they are a lovely couple …..dayum straight
Wow, he looks great! And not pulled and plasticy and dyed. Just like a handsome, middle aged gent.
I had assumed his wife was WAY younger, like 20+ years younger than Pierce. I guess she just *looks* 15 years younger than she is.
No. He looks EXACTLY like the Fantlings godfather. I would drink a lot with him though. I think he’d be a riot drunk.
her too ….fun chick ….
I love “Fantlings”.
no, cause he’s on my mom’s hit list and just no..
That’s a real turn off!
LOL! Yeah, that’s the reason I can’t look at Dennis Haysbert in any kind of lustful way (even though I think he’s a chocolate god). My mom has dibs.
Well me and your mom are just gonna have to fight because she cannot have them both to herself. It’s not fair!!!
Keely used to be thin, but she is one of the models who escaped. I remember very rude tabloid photos taken of her at the beach when he was in his Bond years. But the magazine ended up looking stupid, because Pierce was just all over her, haha.
I remember those pics and I thought she looked great. She really carries her weight very well. That is not easy to do.
Yessssssssssssss.
She’s 49?!? Wow. She looks great.
I’d totally sleep with Pierce. He’s awesome.
Sleep? Ah hell no, there would be no sleeping…………………
No thanks. 60 is grandpa territory or atleast dad zone.
He was something back in the day though. Wasnt he reportedly douchey during his Bond hayday pissing off producers.
I’m fairly young so I wasn’t around when he was the hot shit in Hollywood, but I saw that one Bond movie he was in like a couple of months or so ago and there was this one scene where he was about to sleep with this lady AND HOLY SHIT HIS FACE IS GLORIOUS. He’s…unf.
I think larger women tend to look older than their age when they’re young, and then suddenly start looking younger than they are around about thirty.
He and his wife seem like a lovely couple. It’s always…refreshing to see a leading man married to a grown woman instead of a starlet young enough to be his daughter. Or granddaughter.
I agree with you, fat helps containing wrinkles.
For the record: I wouldn’t give a crap about my weight if Pierce Brosnan was all over me all the time.
+1 especially on the second part.
Lol, even though I’m probably young enough to be either, ITA. Old men constantly chasing around young women makes me feel like they’re dirty old men going through a mid-life crisis.
Over and over again.
Id Hit it so Hard Is Gonna Void The Warranty
Like a Screendoor During a Windstorm
So Bad His Mom is Gonna Cry in the 1950s having a bad feeling about what’s gonna happen to her baby Boy in the distant future
So, like YES
😆
*snortles coffee* too damn funny QQ!
Y’all are cracking me up today. I’m trying to memorize all these…
LMAO!
You know I love me some Remington Steele! He was the business for us kids growing up here in the 80s 🙂
I know this is super-cheesy, but I always giggle at this ad:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzQD7DYNklQ&sns=em
All right. I answered no farther down in the comments, but that was pretty cute!!
The answer to this question as been the same since Remington Steele – yes, in a very powerful way.
He’s one of my Forevers.
Put it this way, when I was a little girl I was SO going to marry Remington Steele and do married couple-y things with him in close spaces with explosions going off around us.
Edit: I was never restricted from anything as a kid.
I love him , I always have, and I love how he loves his wife.
she is heavier then she used to be but such a pretty woman
Love him!
YUM!!!!!
And my favorite Bond!!!!
Mine too!!
Mine too, as Bond he was good looking, suave and sexy with humour and steel in equal measure . I find Daniel Craig severely lacking in the charm department, too pouting and grumpy to make my ideal Bond.
Oh my rsdsdred, I love him and I’ll love him even when he’ll be 80. So yes, I would hit it. His wife his damn lucky. still, I can’t believe she’s 49 years old and he’s 60..they’re ageless vampires right?
Those bottom two pictures with Keely’s arm around Pierce’s shoulder are awkward. She should keep her arm down around his waist.
He should never try to hug her husband in public. She should adopt poses that only make her smaller. Better even: she should wear a burka!
She/instead of/he.
My husband and I look like that – it’s not akward feeling. That happens when a husband and wife are about the same height. I’m 5 ft. 10 in., my husband is only an inch taller than me. Each of us needs to life our arm to hug the other. Doesn’t feel weird, just looks weird to people who aren’t accustomed to seeing couples where the wife isn’t any smaller than the man.
Love him! Love Keely, his wife! I especially loved Pierce in Mrs. Doubtfire playing the straight man to Robin Williams’s crazily bitter Mrs. Doubtfire. Pierce made that part of the movie all funnier, imo! (If this seems odd, it may help to know that I’ve only seen about 20 movies in my entire life.)
I always thought Pierce Brosnan was a sexy and charming older man. I would most definitely hit that, lol.
Like.
a.
Piñata!
over & over again baby, yeaaah. 8)
Yes totally! He is damn sexy for 60! Jesus! I can only hope I marry a man that stays that damn hot through 60! BUT….Keely honey you are killing me, sweetie that weight is seriously unhealthy.
What a gross and unnecessary comment. She is gorgeous and clearly very happy with her hot husband.
She has a condition that caused her to gain weight and makes it difficult to lose it. Keely gets fat shamed, Nicole Richie gets skinny shamed. Why can’t people just let others be what they are?
No, but then I wouldn’t have hit it 20 years ago either.
No, but he is a nice-looking man for his age. The only 60-year-old celeb I would go there with is Liam Neeson.
He is a hot older man (much like my man Liam Neeson!) so yes please! I like him even more when he talks about how hot he thinks his wife is with all her curves!
I totally would back in the Bond days and now. I love him and I can’t believe his wife is 50 years old. She looks great.
I’d hit it so hard I’d knock him back to age 40 🙂
If anyone wants to see a great Pierce Brosnan movie where he is smart and funny, I highly recommend ‘The Matador’.
He pretty much plays the anti-Bond, and it’s hilarious to watch.
I agree. He was fabulous in The Matador!
He is one handsome man.
They seem very sweet and happy together, which is awesome and pretty amazing for Hollywood.
Look she is pretty. But also pretty fat. I love how it appears he doesn’t care that she is. Obviously loves her for who she is. But it doesn’t take away the fact that she is far too heavy. How can anyone say there isn’t a health issue there? Denial? And I don’t agree with the comments that one looks younger because they’re heavy. Not true! Runs away…….
And we have a comment from Captain Obvious. Yes, she IS overweight. Congratulations on having noticed. I’m sure she is well aware and any medical condition(s) she may have are her business.
No-overweight does not always equal unhealthy. Have you ever heard of “fat but fit”. Yes, if you weigh too much it does put you at a greater risk for certain conditions, but it’s not a slam dunk. Just like weighing an ideal weight doesn’t guarantee good health. I suggest you show up at the finish line of your next local marathon and tell all of the “fat” people slogging across the line how unhealthy they are. I’m sure they’ll have enough energy left to give you the middle finger
whatevs chil’…
i’ll never forget that glorious ass shot of his in ‘The Thomas Crowne Affair’ (one of my top 10 fave love scenes)
& i’m sure he’s still giving her that
‘Remington S-T-E-E-L-E’ if you know what i’m sayin’…
aaand i think ya do!
😉 😳 😛
I’ll say the same thing I always say when people claim someone is unhealthily thin or fat:
Are you her doctor?
Seeing as his first wife died young from cancer, despite being what you would call thin, I’d imagine he is just happy to have a healthy, loving wife by his side as they grow old together.
A face that has fat to fill in its lines and wrinkles does typically look much younger than a face that’s gaunt or thin.
Remington Steele? Always and forever…
I’d like to see a close-up photo of the necklace Keely is wearing in the first pic. It looks like Jade and Coral, maybe? I just love beaded tassles 🙂
no, sorry. even though i am fifty i would still feel like i was boinking my grampa.
Any day ending in D- A-Y yep!
I remember when Keely used to be on Regis and Kathie Lee when their show was first syndicated. She had a regular spot on the show and she was absolutely gorgeous and thin. Good for them that they are still together and he has stuck by her.
Google her name, Keely Shaye Smith, and look at their wedding photo and she was stunning. She is still beautiful.
He’s a great looking 60, but I believe that he’s 60. Keeley, on the other hand. I would believe you if you told me she was 30!
His sexiness only gets better with age, and his obvious love for his wife is so endearing. He is one sexy sixty. Yowza!
In a New York minute!!! I have always liked her, so sweet & beautiful! Great couple.
Yes. And I’m 19. Don’t judge.
This man is the definition of class.
Her face is beautiful. Both are aging very well.
I would destroy him. Even more so after I saw that Today show interview.
He looks great. Keely plumped out, but I think we all saw that coming.
Not only is he sexy, but he is kind, from the stories I have heard of his first wife (who died of cancer) and second.
He is a dead ringer for my dad; they’re absolute doppelgängers. Like, growing up, I was never a fan of the Pierce Brosnan Bonds, because it was just like watching my dad running around and I’d be all, naaaahh, he could never. Preeeetty sure my dad’s resemblance to Pierce is one of the reasons mum married him. Ha!
She’s gorgeous. He’s gorgeous. They’re gorgeous together. Perfect match.
Love him, love her. They look so in love!
No hitting, nope, not ever!! Pierce seems like a sweet, decent guy and a talented actor but he also bears a shocking resemblance to an obnoxious d–khead ex of mine… sends my sense of ICK!! into overdrive.
I would definitely hit it and then some.
yes I would
I would hit morning, noon and night! 🙂
I would hit morning, noon and night! 🙂
He’s always been extremely handsome, even in his older age, so YES, he’s still got it! He and Keely have always seemed like a good match, but I do wonder why her weight has skyrocketed? Wow, I was a bit shocked to see her this heavy. Anyway, I hope they’re still a happily married couple.
I got a real close up look at him out side the Plaza Hotel in NYC 4 years ago when he was filming with Sparkles. He is a very very hansome man in the flesh pics don’t do him justice.
Rag on her weight all the naysayers might, she’s the one who actually DOES get to hit it.
Let the church say yay-men!
These comments make me sad 🙁
I used to be a lot thinner (although never as beautiful as her) and now I’m quite a bit heavier (again, no where near as heavy as she is now) but it’s not like she doesn’t know. I feel bad about myself when I see old pictures and I’m not splashed all over the internet. It just seems like bullying.
Oh it means they “care” 🙄
DJ, tough as it may be, you need to stop beating yourself up. Physical appearance isn’t WHO we are. That’s the sum of our kindness, intelligence, and what we put out into the world. Cut yourself a break, be good to yourself, and screw anyone who isn’t wise enough to know what really matters.
He is my favourite Bond. Yeah I’d hit it
