Pierce Brosnan has defied the norm that Hollywood love stories include older men dating younger women or younger men dating co-stars.
After Brosnan’s first wife died in 1991, he met and married American journalist Keely Shaye Smith. The couple has been happily married for 20 years and have two boys together.
The public, however, has not shared in their joy and has instead directed its attention on Keely’s looks and weight.
Brosnan has come to his wife’s defence, adding that she is the most beautiful lady in his eyes and that he adores every curve of her body. She is more important to him than her physical attributes.
In a town where older men often date women decades their junior, Brosnan’s choice to remain with the same lady and prolong their relationship is perceived as a daring act.
This exemplifies how women are expected to always outdo males in terms of their physical attractiveness and never “let themselves go.”
Brosnan’s devotion to his wife goes against the grain of typical Hollywood love stories. He demonstrates that real love comes from seeing the best in one another, regardless of how they seem.
