Pierce Brosnan and Troubled Son Christopher Have Put Their Issues ‘Behind Them’ Amid London Outing

Pierce Brosnan has healed a long open wound by mending a bitter rift with his drug-challenged son, Christopher.

The pair — who had been estranged over 53-year-old Christopher’s drug use — were spotted enjoying a meal together in London’s Notting Hill neighborhood recently along with the Bond star’s son Dylan, 28, per New York Post.

The happy gathering was the first time Pierce, 72, has been seen with Christopher in years.

“Pierce and Christopher’s problems have been well documented. But it seems they’ve managed to put them behind them,” the insider adds. “It was really nice to see them together.”

The Mamma Mia! actor sadly admitted to cutting Christopher off in 2005 due to his son’s ongoing addiction demons.

“Christopher is still very lost. Shockingly so. I know where he is, but he’s having a hard life,” the GoldenEye star confessed to Playboy at the time.

“I can only have strong faith and believe he will recover. He has tested everybody in this family but none more so than himself. He knows how to get out. He doesn’t want to. I had to say, ‘Go. Get busy living or get busy dying.’ He has my prayers.”

The tough love was especially painful to the Die Another Day hunk because of his difficult history with his own father.

“I just want to be there for my children, because my dad wasn’t there for me,” Pierce told Reader’s Digest. “It’s painful because you shut down. You never completely cut them off, but I have cut Christopher off.”

Adding to Pierce’s pain is that Christopher is the son of his late wife, Cassandra, and her ex-husband, Dermot Harris. Pierce adopted him and his sister Charlotte in 1986 after Dermot’s death.

Sadly, Cassandra died of ovarian cancer in 1991. Charlotte succumbed to the same disease in 2013.

“That’s one reason why Pierce had a special attachment to Christopher and their bitter split was so tough on him,” says an insider.

The Bond hero also had son Sean, 42, with Cassandra and shares son Paris, 24, with actress Keely Shaye Smith, who he married in 2001.

“Pierce is a huge star, but reconnecting with Christopher is the greatest and happiest achievement of his life!” a source says.
