Paris Brosnan is the youngest son of actor Pierce Brosnan and documentary filmmaker Keely Shaye Smith. The model and artist recently voiced his support for the next James Bond actor.

Producers have been searching for Daniel Craig's replacement since he departed the role in 2021. As per a report shared by the Daily Mail, actor Jacob Elordi currently leads the bookmakers' odds to secure the part.

Paris Brosnan shared his thoughts while speaking with the Daily Mail at Clarins' Night of Extra soiree. His father played the legendary spy in four films more than twenty years ago, and Paris had kind words for whoever takes on the role next.

"Wish him the best," he said.

The 25-year-old artist also goes beyond the nepo baby stereotype through his charitable efforts. Paris had partnered with the World Food Program during a trip to Sri Lanka with Clarins, an experience he called incredible.

Pierce Brosnan made an appearance in London on February 26 for his son Paris's big night. As per a report shared by Hello!, the actor joined the opening of Paris Brosnan's debut UK collection at the Mayfair gallery. The collection went by the name "Collective Energy," and several family members turned out to support Paris.

Paris's older brother, Dylan Brosnan, showed up along with Paris's girlfriend, Alex Lee-Aillon. Keely Shaye Smith, however, wasn't seen at the opening.

Paris gave Hello! an interview at the event and talked about his creative inspiration.

"I'm inspired by people, that's why this exhibition is called Collective Energy - it's all the people around me," shared Paris.

The LA-based artist generated buzz at the opening. Guests sipped Bollinger champagne while checking out his colorful work. Paris priced some of his paintings at £15,000, and red stickers marked the ones that collectors had already snapped up.

Paris shared his artistic process in a caption at the show.

"The best pieces come from surrendering to the process. I let the colors and movement dictate where the work goes," one of his captions read.

The artist has displayed his work in Germany in recent months and has discussed how painting became a way to deal with his emotions.

"It was a way to get something out that I didn't have language for. I'd go through periods where things felt really heavy internally, and painting was how I processed that weight. I never planned to turn it into a career," he said.

Paris Brosnan made short action and horror films since grade school before pursuing an art career:

Paris Brosnan spoke with Wonderland Magazine at 18 years old. He opened up about his passion for film and art during the interview.

"I like being creative and making unique art that reflects my own style. I like that there are no boundaries in art and film. Having grown up in an artistic household and on film sets, I've always been drawn to film and art because of its ability to reach and inspire people (in a visual medium)," shared Paris.

The teenager also named his favorite directors at that time.

"I like Quentin Tarantino, Wes Anderson, and Kai Neville," said Paris.

He was asked when he first became interested in making his own films.

"I've been making films since I was in grade school. I would film my friends skating and surfing. I also made short action and horror films," he shared.

Paris also reflected on his work as a model back then.

"I enjoy modeling. I meet a lot of great people, travel to interesting places, and I get to wear some of the most beautiful designer clothes and jewellery," shared Paris.

As per the reports shared by the Daily Mail, Paris Brosnan's artworks also flood his Instagram account, a significance for the passion he has for the craft. As per a report shared by GQ in 2022, Paris, who has walked runways as a model for Balmain, Dolce & Gabbana, and Moschino, also likes to surf when possible.
