Pierce Brosnan's son pops up in rare red carpet appearance
Pierce Brosnan's son Dylan Brosnan is one tall lad.
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.

Wedding act could signal relationship danger, experts say
It seems like every week, there's a new video of a groom smashing wedding cake into his new wife's face. One story went viral not long ago after a woman decided to divorce her husband just a day after they tied the knot. She told him her 'one rule' was not to smash cake in her face because she was claustrophobic from a car accident, and yet he still did it. Another nasty incident involved a groom chasing the bride into a corner of the venue as she begged him not to smash cake on her. He knocked her to the ground, smeared cake on her dress, then walked away smugly while the guests watched on in horror. One TikToker said she even walked out of her own wedding reception after her husband pulled a similar stunt. 'H smashed a wedding cake on my face and ruined my $1600 bridal makeup. But he actually ended up saving me $50,000 in divorce fees,' Louisa Melcher said. Another bride shared on Reddit how she had an uncomfortable history with 'cake smashing,' stemming from her mother pushing her face into her birthday cakes while she was growing up. After telling her partner about this, he still smashed a cake into her face on the big day. Under all these comment sections, the same debate always emerges. Is this an innocent act of fun, or a form of abuse disguised as a prank? Wedding cake rituals are ancient traditions. In ancient Rome, the groom would sprinkle barley crumbs over the bride's head to symbolise dominance and fertility. Over time, this shifted to exchanging bites of cake, representing mutual care, often played out in lighthearted ways like patting icing on each other's faces. Recently, with the rise of TikTok and viral video platforms, 'cake smashing' has become more popular, where one partner – usually the groom – forcefully smashes cake into the bride's face. While some couples enjoy and even plan such moments, many of the ones that go viral are the one-sided, violent-looking attacks. In situations where wedding cakes aren't involved, acts involving striking someone with an object or restraining them against their will might be considered abuse. Therefore, a common online view is that husbands who partake in the 'cake smashing' trend against their partner's will – especially if their partner is embarrassed or physically hurt – are likely violent at home. Psychologist Carly Dober told that when cake smashing is done against a partner's wishes, it can be 'disrespectful' and 'demeaning,' ultimately showing someone is putting their enjoyment above their partner's feelings. 'It's selfish, uncaring and also shows a lack of communication and respect, and this can be a sign of future issues,' the owner of Enriching Lives Psychology said. 'Most people want their wedding day to be memorable and to look back on it with happy memories. 'Over time, it could lead to sadness, depression, resentment, low self-esteem, and ongoing relationship issues if trust is damaged.' Of course, not all cake smashes are violent, but etiquette expert Kate Heussler suggests couples should proceed with caution when planning stunts such as this. 'You want everyone to feel safe, seen and respected, so couples should chat about boundaries well before the wedding day and during planning,' she said. 'It's about checking if your humour and values match.' She recommends couples ask each other: – 'How do you feel about surprises at the wedding – do you love them, or would you rather know what's coming?' – 'Are there any traditions or trends you absolutely do or don't want to participate in?' – 'If something goes wrong or I make a mistake on the day, how would you handle it?' – 'Is there anything you'd find embarrassing, disrespectful, or a deal-breaker in front of guests?'

Denzel Washington gives his brutally honest take on Oscars after Gladiator II snub
Denzel Washington doesn't care about those shiny gold trophies. The Fences actor, 70, recently explained why winning an Oscar isn't important to him in his career. 'I don't do it for Oscars. I don't care about that kind of stuff,' he said on Jake's Takes while promoting his new film, Highest 2 Lowest. 'I've been at this a long time, and there's time when I won and shouldn't have won and then didn't win and should've won,' Washington added, per the New York Post. 'Man gives the award. God gives the reward.' Despite being nominated nine times and taking home two wins at the award ceremony, Washington noted: 'I'm not that interested in Oscars.' 'People ask me, 'Where do I keep it?' Well, next to the other one. I'm not bragging! Just telling you how I feel about it,' he said. 'On my last day, [Oscars] aren't going to do me a bit of good.' Washington won Oscars in 1990 for Glory and in 2002 for Training Day. He was also nominated for his performances in Cry Freedom, Malcolm X, The Hurricane, Flight, Fences, Roman J. Israel, Esq. and The Tragedy of Macbeth. Earlier this year, Washington was snubbed by the Academy for his performance in Gladiator II. He was expected to get into the Best Supporting Actor race, especially after scoring nominations at the 2025 Golden Globes and 2025 Critics Choice Awards. When asked how he felt about the snub in February, Washington sarcastically told the New York Times: 'Are you kidding me? Awww. Oh, I'm so upset.' 'Listen, I've been around too long. I've got — I don't wanna say other fish to fry, but there's a reality at this age,' he added. 'The beginning of wisdom is understanding. I'm getting wiser, working on talking less and learning to understand more — and that's exciting.' Three months after the Oscars snub, Washington failed to get nominated for a Tony Award for his performance in Othello, which generated controversy for its high ticket costs. Last year, Washington made headlines for saying he plans to retire after his slew of upcoming acting projects, including Black Panther 3. 'I don't know how many more films I'm going to make. Probably not that many,' he said during an interview with Australia's Today show. 'I want to do things I haven't done,' Washington added.
