It’s just that by now, we’re used to seeing certain Hollywood romance tropes repeatedly.

There are the young, cute couples who aren’t shy about promoting their blossoming romance on social media; the co-stars who have secret on-set affairs while being probed for adultery; and the old man in his sixties or seventies who is openly romancing a young, gorgeous woman half his age.

We observe these paradigms without questioning them and come to accept them as the standard.

Pierce Brosnan’s professional contemporaries, along with the general public, assumed he would finish dead last in this competition.

Despite being a good fit, he boldly and creatively disproved all the assumptions being made about him.

He’s been married to Keely for twenty years, and they’ve been together long enough to start a family.

Their journey has been as romantic and passionate as anyone could have hoped, but poor Keely has been the target of unjustified and terrible hatred as of late.

Thankfully, Pierce managed to hold out. He defended his wife in front of the public and showed her how much he loved her despite the criticism. His actions lead us to the following conclusions:

Pierce, contrary to popular opinion, “loves every curve” of his wife’s body.

In 1994, Pierce met American journalist Keely Shaye Smith for the first time. His

first wife Cassandra Harris died of ovarian cancer on December 28, 1991.

Pierce, who was left to raise three children on his own, was naturally distraught by her death and unsure of where to begin the healing process.

Having Keely in his life at the proper time gave him the boost he needed to embark on the challenging, yet rewarding, role of motherhood.

“Her friends offered her weight-loss surgery. However, I adore every curve in her physique. She is the most beautiful woman in my eyes. Additionally, she gave birth to our five children,” says Pierce Brosnan.
