Pierce Brosnan may have an acting career spanning decades, but it’s not an industry he wants his kids to get into.
Pierce is joined by his sons Dylan, 25, and Paris, 21, for a new interview with GQ. The actor shares the boys with his second wife, Keely Shaye Smith, whom he married in 2001.
The magazine speaks to the trio at their house in Malibu, with Dylan and Paris sharing what it was like growing up with a famous father.
Dylan admits a few years ago he had some of his closest friends come to his home for his 21st birthday party, but they had no clue Pierce was his dad.

Dylan and Paris spent time on their father’s sets when they were younger, with Dylan recalling how they explored the ice palace from the 2002 James Bond flick “Die Another Day”.
The pair have even worked behind the scenes on Pierce’s films. However, the star insists it’s not an industry he wants them working in.
