As a child, Brosnan had an absent father which colored his early experiences as a child. He did not have a strong family system and hence struggled. Now that he has a family of his own, he has realized the importance of family and makes sure his family knows how much they mean to him.
He is very protective when it comes to his family. When his wife Keely Shaye Smith was getting comments about her weight from trolls on the internet, Brosnan quickly shut it down. When a page compared his wife’s new figure to her old one, Brosnan was quick to shut it down saying he loved his wife as she was, he says about her, “she is the most beautiful woman.”
Brosnan became a grandfather from his children from his first wife. Her older children from her previous marriage whom Brosnan adopted both have children. The late Charlotte and Sean Brosnan have made the James Bond actor into a grandfather.

The actor has three grandchildren, Isabella, Lucas, and Marley. He adores all three of them quite a lot and has said they “melt” his heart. In an interview on “Live With Kelly and Ryan” in April 2017, he talked about his incredible experience as a grandfather. He said, “It’s just such a joy to be a grandparent … there is just something intoxicating about it and beautiful. There is something very special about it.”
He prefers spending time with his family and friends. In order to spend time with family out of the public eye, Brosnan bought a home in Hawaii which he has kept a secret.
The actor has indulged himself with his art. He shared glimpses of his studio and his work with fans earlier this year which caused a bit of a frenzy because of how good the work was.

Their house is built on five acres of land and is located in a beautiful oceanfront strip in Kauai, Hawaii. They bought the home in 2002, and the family has been going back and forth between there and their other home, a mansion in Malibu, California.
The family spent most time in Hawaii during the pandemic and made sure to partake in activities which put them in close contact with nature.
There was speculation that the actor would make Hawaii his primary home especially after listing his Malibu mansion on the market. But as soon as he placed the mansion on the market, he had it removed.
The actor has been acting but in his personal life prefers to keep everything lowkey. We are sending the Brosnan family our very best.
