Former James Bond star Pierce Brosnan has shown his classically charming side once again, warmly greeting a group of fans who turned up outside his multi-million dollar Malibu residence. The 72-year-old Irish actor paused to chat, shake hands, and pose for pictures with the delighted family, proving his reputation as one of Hollywood's most gracious stars remains firmly intact.
A Gracious Greeting on the California Coast
The heartwarming encounter occurred near Brosnan's oceanfront property in the exclusive Broad Beach area of Malibu. A fan later shared a video clip on social media platform X, capturing the moment the actor, in high spirits, welcomed the group outside his sprawling estate. In the clip, a fan can be heard shouting, "James Bond he said isn't it! Happy New Year to you and your family."
Brosnan, ever the gentleman, replied with "Good blessings to you all" as he shook their hands. He then engaged them in friendly conversation, asking where they were from. The fans revealed they were from Ireland, prompting Brosnan to joke "I know where" before they elaborated on their family roots in Donegal and Kerry.
The actor's partner later shook hands, beaming "Pleasure to meet you," before Brosnan happily posed for multiple photographs with the group. The fans were clearly thrilled, later writing online: "Pierce Brosnan lovely man even hung around for pictures after."
Inside the Actor's Lavish $100 Million Estate
The stunning property where this encounter took place is no ordinary home. Brosnan has listed the spectacular compound several times, with an asking price around $100 million. He originally developed the Southeast Asian-inspired estate after purchasing two adjacent properties for a combined $7.35 million back in the year 2000.
If sold at its asking price, it would rank among the most expensive properties in Broad Beach, an area that counts fellow Hollywood legends like Danny DeVito and Dustin Hoffman as neighbours. The home's decor is a specific nod to Thailand, where Brosnan filmed the 1997 Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies.
Spanning over an acre, the estate features two residences with a total of five bedrooms and fourteen bathrooms. The main house, known as the Orchid House, took over a decade to craft and covers nearly 12,500 square feet. Its impressive amenities include:
- A private home theatre
- A climate-controlled wine cellar with space for roughly 200 bottles
- A fully-equipped gym
- A dedicated music room
- A travertine-wall spa complete with two soaking tubs
Family Life and Recent Reconciliations
This public display of warmth follows what appears to be a positive period in the actor's personal life. Brosnan is a father of five, sharing sons Dylan and Paris with his wife Keely Shaye Smith. He also had a daughter, Charlotte, and sons Christopher and Sean with his late first wife, actress Cassandra Harris.
In a significant development last November, Brosnan was seen reuniting with his estranged eldest son, Christopher, at an upmarket London restaurant. The meeting, which also included his son Dylan, seemed to signal the mending of fences after years of difficulty. The estrangement was reportedly brought about by Christopher's struggles with addiction to cocaine and heroin.
A source close to the family noted at the time, "They both looked happy and relaxed... Pierce and Christopher’s problems have been well documented. But it seems they’ve managed to put them behind them. It was really nice to see them together." This reconciliation marks a hopeful chapter, as Brosnan had spoken painfully in a 2005 interview about having to distance himself, saying he had told Christopher to "Get busy living, or get busy dying."
This latest fan interaction outside his Malibu mansion reinforces the image of Pierce Brosnan not just as a global superstar, but as a man who values human connection, whether with devoted fans or his own family.
