Pierce Brosnan's son pops up in rare red carpet appearance
The 28-year-old towered over his famous dad in a sweet red carpet appearance Thursday.
The father-son duo stepped out for a New York City screening of Pierce's forthcoming movie, The Thursday Murder Club, posing for pictures together at the Plaza Hotel before heading to the Paris Theater, per Page Six.
For the outing, the 72-year-old actor, most famous for his portrayal of James Bond, looked dapper in a cream-coloured suit jacket, which he wore buttoned and atop a matching shirt.
He completed his sleek ensemble with a black polka-dot tie, a black pocket square, black slacks and black dress shoes.
Meanwhile, Dylan — a filmmaker who graduated from the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts in May 2020 — opted for a more retro, loose-fitting Gray suit, which he wore unbuttoned and paired with a white collared shirt, black-and-white-striped tie and black dress shoes.
He wore his brown shoulder-length hair combed back in a wispy 'do.
The pair stood next to each other with one arm wrapped around the other and one hand in a pant pocket as the shutterbugs snapped away.
Pierce shares Dylan and his 24-year-old brother, Paris Brosnan, with his wife, Keely Shaye Smith.
The Golden Globe nominee was joined by both Dylan and Paris in his June film, The Unholy Trinity, which marked the siblings' big-screen debut.
'To be able to share that with them is a gift of time and memory,' Pierce told People at the time, describing the emotion as 'beautiful.'
'We always stayed together tight as a family unit during the days of James Bond, and now, of course, as they're older, here to be able to make movies with Dad,' he added, emphasising that he 'would jump into the trenches any day of the week with' his sons, as the trio travels 'well together.'
Pierce shared his daughter, Charlotte Brosnan, and sons Christopher Brosnan, 52, and Sean Brosnan, 41, with his first wife, Cassandra Harris, who died of ovarian cancer in December 1991. She was 43.
Charlotte died of the same disease in June 2013 at the age of 41.

Scott Wolf breaks silence on divorce, slams estranged wife ‘disturbing, false' abuse claims
Scott Wolf is accusing his estranged wife, Kelley Wolf, of conspiring to make 'disturbing, false' claims about him amid their messy divorce battle. The Party of Five star broke his silence on his split from the former Real World star, saying his ex conspired a plan to accuse him of 'psychological abuse, child abuse, child endangerment, stealing with passports.' While he previously chose to keep this 'difficult' time in his family's lives 'private,' he told People in a statement published on Saturday that he's now speaking up to protect 'the well being of (his) children.' 'I am now choosing to come forward and share that she has described to me her plans to 'make claims' about me, although she also admitted, 'I do not believe they're true,' in order to gain an advantage in what she sees as a 'battle' in court, and in the court of public opinion,' Wolf said. 'In order to protect my kids, I am providing the text messages she sent to me where she describes this plan, so there are no questions about her intentions, or the malicious intent behind her false allegations made and/or planned for the future.' The outlet went on to report that Kelley, 48, alleged in the messages that she 'was advised to make claims that are possible, even though I do not believe they're true nor would I ever say them to anyone'. 'When you accused me of all the things you put in the restraining order, you made me into a villain. The only way I can fight back is to produce claims that are either the same as yours or greater,' she continued. She also detailed that her aim was to 'create more urgency to get the kids back. Or at least get back joint custody'. Kelley ultimately shared her allegations against Wolf on a phone call with police on June 26, according to the outlet. 'Although her claims are completely baseless and incredibly dangerous, the worst part is that they are traumatic for our children,' the 57-year-old continued in his message. 'I hope that anyone who might speak publicly or report on such things, will consider this before spreading any further information from a clearly unreliable and completely compromised source.' He closed, asking for 'privacy and respect for our family' and thanked 'all those who have shown their love and support'. A representative for Kelley did not immediately respond to Page Six's request for comment. As some may recall, Kelley was shockingly detained and hospitalised after police were called to the Wolf family's Park City, Utah, home in June after a reported 'family fight'. An audio recording of the 911 call showed an unidentified woman claiming she was 'terrified' and 'needed help' after getting into an altercation with her brother-in-law and 16-year-old son. At the time, someone at the scene also mentioned an alleged 'past-occurred assault' choking incident that purportedly took place at their home in March. The scene transpired shortly after Scott filed for divorce on June 10. After his filing, Kelley later made another bombshell claim on social media that she was 'held against her will' by her former friends while she was 'trying to file for divorce.' Later that month, Scott was granted sole custody of their three children — Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 11 — and a temporary restraining order against his estranged wife which he later dropped after they reached a new temporary agreement detailing custody, finances and communication.

Films and video games have age classifications. Should books?
When looking for their next book recommendations, Sylvana, 19, and Ellie, 12, don't tend to browse their local library or bookstore. "If I want to get a certain book, I … just look it up on TikTok," Sylvana says. "I'll be like, 'Oh, what's the best book to read?' "We have found a lot of books that we have gotten into from, like, YouTube," Ellie says. However, Sylvana says the recommendations on these platforms aren't always spot on. "I know my little sister, she was reading some books that she shouldn't have been." The growing influence of BookTok, BookTube, and Bookstagram has a researcher concerned about the content young people are engaging with, and they are calling for an industry-wide book rating classification system. "It really is about, 'Don't judge a book by its cover,'" says Emma Hussey, a digital criminologist and child safeguarding expert at the Australian Catholic University's Institute of Child Protection Studies. "Just because there are cartoons on the front, [it] doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to be developmentally appropriate for a 12 to 17-year-old," she says. Dr Hussey's latest research looked at 20 books that are popular on BookTok, analysing them for domestic violence behaviours, other violence, including torture, murder and destruction of property, and sexually explicit scenes. "Of those books, 65 per cent of them had these domestic violence adjacent behaviours on the page," she says. "The themes that we were seeing were things like manipulation, intimidation, physical restraint, dubious consent, stalking. "At one point, there was a GPS tracker used … we know that technology-facilitated domestic violence is on the increase. "I think, more so than not, you'll find degradation and put-downs littered throughout also." The algorithm on these platforms is another concern for Dr Hussey, as she says it is often based on popularity rather than reader safety, so it will sometimes push adult fiction towards young adult, or YA, readers. Young adult fiction is a category of its own in publishing and is generally aimed at readers between the ages of 12 and 18. "I know that there's a system that authors use to know whether their books are marketed to a younger young adult audience or an older young adult audience [but] that's not made explicit or clear in bookstores or libraries," Dr Hussey says. Children's book specialist Tracy Glover, a bookseller in Adelaide, says she has noticed a shift in the reading habits of young people since the rise of social media. "The … students from the local schools, often when they come in, they come in with a specific request," Ms Glover says. "It might be something they've talked about or someone's mentioned at school; it might be something that's very current on Netflix or TikTok. In saying this, Ms Glover also believes the young adult collection is clearly labelled, at least in the store she works in, which helps guide young people to age-appropriate texts. "We have a fairly clear boundary just by geographically where the [young adult] books are." Additionally, Ms Glover says her bookstore, like many, has age recommendations on a lot of its YA fiction. These recommendations are guided by staff discretion and databases such as Common Sense Media, which are designed with young people's reading and safety in mind. "It's very rare that we have to say to a reader, 'We're just not sure that's going to be suitable for your age level,' but if we felt strongly enough, we would just give that warning," she says. "The 12 to 14-year-olds, we're very mindful with what they choose and what we would recommend for them. As someone who spends a lot of time in bookstores, Faith, 21, says it's easy to identify which areas are dedicated to YA fiction, and she is concerned about the impact age classifications could have on information. "Hard ratings like, 'You can't read this until you're 'X' age,' I think that's limiting people being able to share ideas with each other," she says. As far as what a classification system might look like in practice, Dr Hussey says we don't have to look far to find models that already exist. "We have implemented these sorts of classification systems across streaming websites, across movies that you purchase in store, so it's not a new system," she says. "It's just about bringing that to this new medium that we've not previously considered before." Young adult author Will Kostakis says the way we experience books is fundamentally different from other media, so taking a classification system built for films or video games and applying it to books wouldn't work. "The thing about books is you can actually go into the emotions of an action — you have a character's thoughts throughout," he says. "You would have the character reckoning with consequences afterwards, thinking about it, living in it. Owen, 18, agrees that books sit in a category of their own. "Movies are a bit different because, obviously, you're watching it play out; reading, it's your imagination and you can just close the book if it's too much for you." The idea of classification also raises questions around censorship. "I think it stretches to a level of potential censorship, whether it be unintentional or not," Owen says. "With films, you have to pay to get it tested and see whether or not it's appropriate or not. "I think for like young independent authors, that might stop them from being able to publish their books … I don't think that's a great thing either." Mr Kostakis shares similar concerns, particularly around who determines how texts are classified. "Would it be parents? Would it be politicians? Would it be booksellers? Would it be, you know, publishers?" he says. "The thing is, publishers and booksellers already choose and engaged parents already choose — they are talking to their kids. "We already have rules in place to protect kids, but that can be exploited, and so when we talk about classifications, I'm always worried about not just the next step, but the step four points down the road. Dr Hussey insists this isn't about sanitising literature, but more about increasing awareness. "This is not about banning," she says. "Censorship is about the denial of access, the stopping of access. "This [classification system] does not push or advocate for the removal of access to content. "It's more about giving respect to young adult readers, flagging content that may not be developmentally appropriate for them at that stage, or they may not be ready for." Ms Glover believes more focus should instead be placed on educating readers. "There has to be some responsibility taken from the reader themselves and then from their support system," she says. Mr Kostakis agrees and says we should expect more from our readers. "I grew up in the era of Twilight, all the teen girls in my life weren't like, 'Wow, I can't wait for a 108-year-old who's posing as a teenager to sweep me off my feet,'" he says. "They are getting the feels and all of the tropes and being like, 'Cool. This is a bit romantic. This is a bit spicy,' but I don't think they're looking at these books as manuals on how to live their romantic lives." For Ben, 20, any form of age classification implies that some topics are inherently inappropriate for kids, which he disagrees with. Instead, he thinks young people should be able to access books that reflect the realities of their day-to-day. "When I was like 15, 16, there [weren't] any books that I felt like the content would be super different from what you just experienced in like your daily life. "You're becoming an adult, so you should be exposed to like everything."

Prince William, Kate Middleton moving to new family home for ‘fresh start' after scary cancer battle
Don't miss out on the headlines from Royals. Followed categories will be added to My News. Prince William and Kate Middleton, both 43, are relocating to a new family home with their three kids, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7. 'The Wales family will move house later this year,' a spokesperson at Kensington Palace confirmed to Page Six on Aug. 16. The royal couple moved to their current Adelaide Cottage home in Berkshire in 2022 to be close to their children's Lambrook School, The NY Post reports. Now, they are reportedly relocating nearby to a $21 million eight-bedroom property called Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park. 'Windsor has become their home,' a royal insider told the Sun. 'However, over the last few years while they have lived at Adelaide Cottage there have been some really difficult times.' 'Moving gives them an opportunity for a fresh start and a new chapter; an opportunity to leave some of the more unhappy memories behind,' the source added. Unlike Adelaide Cottage, William and Kate are said to see the move to Forest Lodge as a 'long-term' move into their 'forever home.'

The royal pair is also reportedly using their own money to pay the full cost to renovate their new dream house, and insiders claimed that they will also not have any live-in staff. William and Kate were living at Adelaide Cottage, which is not far from Windsor Castle, when the princess was diagnosed with cancer last year. 'In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful,' Kate announced in March 2024. 'However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present,' she added at the time. Prince William with his family pups. Source: Instagram. After several months of gruelling chemotherapy, the Princess of Wales revealed that she was finished receiving cancer treatment in September. 'The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family,' Kate said Sept. 9. 'Life as you know it can change in an instant, and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown.' 'The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you,' she added.

But despite finishing treatment last year and announcing that she was in remission this past January, Kate is still struggling with her post-treatment recovery. 'You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment. Treatment's done, then it's like, 'I can crack on, get back to normal,' but actually, the phase afterwards is really, really difficult,' she said in July. 'You're not necessarily under the clinical team any longer, but you're not able to function normally at home as you perhaps once used to,' William's wife added last month.
