Pierce Brosnan and his wife Keely Shaye Smith are extremely proud of all their children, but on Thursday they had an extra special reason to celebrate their youngest son, Paris.
The couple flew to Los Angeles after their "night to remember" at the Met Gala in New York City to support the 22-year-old at his very own art exhibition. As well as enjoying work as a model, Paris is also building a career as a filmmaker and an artist.

In one image, Pierce and Paris are standing at either end of one of his abstract paintings, which is filled with vibrant colors and patterns.

His followers were quick to react, with many calling Paris' artwork "amazing". One said: "Really nice. Congrats. Proud dad." A second wrote: "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." A third added: "I love his art! So much beautiful colors and so much exciting is happening in them."
© InstagramParis isn't the only painter in the family as Pierce also has a keen interest and eye for abstract art and will enjoy his first exhibition in LA on May 13. Speaking with GQ in September, the Black Adam star spoke of his years-long love for art and how it helps him find solace.
He said: "It assuages the kind of solitary life that you lead as an actor making films – sitting in trailers, sitting in parking lots, sitting in fields. Up a mountain, down a mountain. Waiting in the wings. So, I create studios wherever I go."

He said: "Carrying the weight and pain and the fear of that illness, I took out the paints. And started painting. With my fingers. With my hands, actually."
© InstagramPierce has been married to former journalist Keely since August 2001 and alongside Paris, they also share son Dylan, 26. Dylan and Paris have a great relationship with their parents, who have said they're thankful neither of them has followed in Pierce's footsteps into Hollywood, with Dylan focusing on music and modeling.
Last year, the two spoke to E! News about their relationship with their father and how he has helped them forge their own paths in the industry. "I think we need to just be grateful for our blessings," Paris said, speaking about the conversation surrounding 'nepo babies' in Hollywood, with Dylan saying they were trying to "pave [their] own way."
