The iconic Irish actor Pierce Brosnan stole the spotlight at the premiere of his latest television project, MobLand, a crime and drama series directed by Guy Ritchie, starring alongside Helen Mirren and Tom Hardy. Brosnan, dressed elegantly for the occasion, was spotted in London at the post-premiere party, accompanied by a stunning young woman who surprised everyone in attendance.

The young woman bears a striking physical resemblance to her late mother, Charlotte Brosnan. And, until now, she had kept a low profile, staying out of the media spotlight.

Next to him, his granddaughter Isabella shone, grabbing everyone’s attention in a lovely black-and-white checkered two-piece ensemble.

Some noted that the grandfather and granddaughter didn’t just dazzle with their style—they also showcased the close bond and strong connection between them.

Isabella is the daughter of Charlotte Brosnan, Pierce’s adopted daughter, who passed away in 2013 from ovarian cancer. Charlotte was the biological daughter of Cassandra Harris, the actor’s first wife. The couple met in 1974 and tied the knot three years later, in 1977. Harris, an Australian, already had two kids from a previous relationship—Charlotte and Christopher—whom Pierce adopted after their biological father died. In 1983, Sean Brosnan was born, the first biological child of Pierce and the third for Cassandra. Cassandra’s death in 1991, at just 43, hit the Irishman hard, leaving him to raise three kids on his own.

Charlotte passed away just weeks before her wedding to Alex Smith, the father of Isabella and Lucas, Brosnan’s eldest grandchildren.

They met in 1994 but didn’t tie the knot until 2001. The arrival of their two sons, Dylan, born in 1997, and Paris, in 2001, rounded out a growing family that just keeps expanding. And the man who once brought James Bond to life is a proud grandfather to four grandkids. The eldest are Isabella and Lucas, children of the late Charlotte, while his son Sean also has two little ones: Jaxxon and Marley May.

It’s set to hit Spanish theaters on April 16. No doubt, it’s a rare chance to see Pierce Brosnan back in action—a guy who’ll always be remembered as one of the best James Bonds in the franchise.
