At the death of his first wife was added the death of his daughter Charlotte and Christopher's addiction to cocaine and heroin
Brosnan talks about the deaths of his daughter and his wife from cancer
Under that facade of a galán own of a former agent 007 hides a man who has had to endure several tragedies . To the death of his daughter and his wife was added the drug addiction of another of his children. When Pierce Brosnan's career (66) was about to add his first blockbuster, he suffered the first setback that would mark the beginning of a succession of tragedies: the death of his first wife, Cassandra Harris, victim of ovarian cancer. A varapalo who made him a single father of three children, Charlotte and Christopher, whom he had adopted five years before after the death of his father, Dermot Harris, and Sean, the eight-year-old son he shared with Cassandra.
The actor now forms with the journalist Keely Shaye one of the strongest marriages in Hollywood. His wife is the pillar of his life . They both met in 1994 and married seven years later at a romantic wedding at the iconic Ballintubber Abbey in Ireland. They have two children in common, Dylan, 21, and Paris, 17. Brosnan has found in Keely the shelter and comfort he needed after the death of his wife for 11 years. The actor had to endure the ordeal of four hard years of cancer treatment .
But that has not been the only tragedy that Brosnan has suffered. In 2013, his daughter Charlotte died at age 42 leaving two children, after three years also battling cancer. The actor was in charge of announcing the news through a statement. "On June 28 my dear daughter Charlotte Emily went on to eternal life, having succumbed to ovarian cancer. She died surrounded by her family: from her husband Alex, her children Isabella and Lucas and her brothers Christopher and Sean," she said. .
In addition to Charlotte's death, Brosnan has had to live another drama: his son Chris ended up getting hooked on heroin and cocaine. In 1997 he was sentenced to three months in prison for driving while intoxicated. Six years later Brosnan threw in the towel and made one of the most difficult decisions of his life: get away from him. " Christopher is still very lost. I know where he is, but he is having a difficult life," said the actor in an interview with Playboy . "It is painful because you close. You never cut the relationship completely, but I have cut it off with Christopher. I had to say: 'Go away, decide to live or die.' I pray for him," he added.
A year later Chris was recorded using cocaine in the bathroom of a club in England, months after admitting in public that he had overcome his drug addiction . This week he has been photographed wandering the streets of London, looking precarious, with three pairs of glasses and very pale.
Brosnan's relationship with his son was not always like this: Agent 007 adored Christopher when he was a child, even if he was not his biological father. Kassandra Harris was married to a brother of actor Richard Harris when she met Brosnan, in 1977, at the house of a mutual friend. Pierce, who was 24 then, was "overwhelmed by the beauty" of the sophisticated actress, five years older than him. The couple got married two years after their 1978 divorce, and in 1986 Pierce adopted Cassandra's two children: Charlotte, 15, and Chris, 14.
