Talking to Irish Central about leaving his acting career behind and returning to school for a master's degree in clinical psychology, he said: "I worked for quite a while and made some movies…however, I kind of lost myself along the way. It wasn’t really my true passion. I ended up getting involved in drugs and alcohol and causing a long trail of destruction behind me."

Speaking about his current career, he explained: "I basically help people with trauma and anxiety and depression and relationship issues, and a lot of grief and loss as well because there’s a lot of that in my story."

Sean isn't the only Brosnan sibling to have embarked on a career in the spotlight. Pierce's youngest sons, Paris and Dylan – whom he shares with his wife Keely Shaye Smith – both enjoy careers in the creative industry.
