Pierce Brosnan appears to have reconnected with his estranged son Christopher — whom he reportedly cut off for “addiction” issues — judging by new photos snapped on a family outing.
In the images — taken last Wednesday and published by Page Six on Monday, November 10 — Pierce, 72, and Christopher, 52, exit the restaurant Dorian in the Notting Hill neighborhood of London. In another photo, the duo is joined by Pierce’s other son, Dylan Brosnan, 28.
Christopher is a director, with his IMDB page citing his production and assistant director experience on films like Tomorrow Never Dies, Golden Eye, and The World Is Not Enough, in which his father plays James Bond.
Pierce reportedly cut off his son over a drug addiction, he explained in a 2005 Playboy interview, according to Page Six.

“Christopher is still very lost. Shockingly so. I know where he is, but he’s having a hard life,” Pierce told Playboy. “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.”
Pierce reportedly told the outlet that his heart was not fully closed to his son.
“You never completely cut them off,” explained Pierce, “but I have cut Christopher off. I had to say, ‘Go. Get busy living, or get busy dying.’ He has my prayers.”
Pierce and his wife Keely Shaye Smith, 62, share sons Dylan and Paris, 24; Pierce and his late wife Cassandra Harris shared three children: Christopher, Sean, 42, and daughter Charlotte, who died from ovarian cancer in 2013 at age 41.
Pierce adopted Christopher and Charlotte after his then-wife Cassandra’s ex-husband Dermot Harris died in 1986.
