Pierce Brosnan’s sons, Dylan Brosnan and Paris Brosnan, received a delightful surprise during their Father’s Day trip to Montana.
For those unfamiliar, 28-year-old Dylan and 24-year-old Paris, accompanied by their father and mother, Keely Shaye Smith, an American journalist and author, spent several days on the set of the recently released film The Unholy Trinity. This new Western movie stars the 72-year-old Irish actor and film producer as the character Gabriel.
While on set, the movie’s director, Richard Gray, encouraged them to take on their first roles in a full-length feature film.
In a conversation with PEOPLE magazine, Paris shared, “He invited us out to come and hang out with him, and it was gonna be a great father and son trip, and we’re gonna get to spend some quality time together and see a new place and be on set, which are fond memories for us.”
He added, “I remember being on lots of sets with Dad and Dylan, which is always a good time. It kind of naturally and organically came about that we would be able to participate in the movie. There were some little openings for us to get in there and dip our toes in the water.”
Pierce reflected on guiding both his sons in their acting debut in The Unholy Trinity by quipping, “I gave very little advice and they asked for very little advice.”
“I think both men knew instinctively what to do, and Richard Gray is such a delightful fellow as the director, and he was so enthusiastic, and it’s a very important film for him. ‘Show up on time, know your line, know your lines, and be brilliant. Be relaxed and have fun and go play,” he noted.
The Tomorrow Never Dies star further discussed working with his sons, stating, “It’s the most magical gift to have. We just had a great time.”
In The Unholy Trinity, Pierce portrays Gabriel, an 1870s sheriff in Montana, who becomes entangled in a tense situation with the main character, Henry, played by Brandon Lessard.
Samuel L. Jackson also features in the film as a smooth-talking villain searching for lost treasure.
It is worth mentioning that Dylan appears as a poster in the recently released movie, while Paris depicts the role of the son of one of Gabriel’s rivals in the town.
