Christopher Brosnan was spotted shopping in London’s Notting Hill on Friday.
The 51-year-old, estranged son of Pierce Brosnan, appeared in Waitrose as he walked along Portobello Road carrying a bag from the supermarket chain.
The filmmaker, who worked as an assistant director on Pierce’s films Tomorrow Never Dies and The World Is Not Enough, layered up despite the summery weather while wearing a red Nike hoodie over a navy T-shirt.
She then added a khaki vest to the ensemble and finished the look with distressed Converse.
Meanwhile, his long dark hair stuck out from under a navy blue cap that he wore backwards as he walked down the street.

Chris is the biological son of Pierce’s late first wife, Australian actress Cassandra Harris, and her ex-husband Dermot.
Pierce adopted Chris and his late sister Charlotte when their biological father died in 1986 while he was married to Cassandra.
Charlotte tragically died of ovarian cancer, the same disease that took her mother’s life, in 2013, at the age of just 41.
However, the father and son became estranged after Pierce revealed that he had “cut him off” when Christopher refused to kick his drug addiction.
Chris fell into a downward spiral and suffered addictions to cocaine and heroin, once falling into a coma after an overdose.
Pierce appeared to reach out to Chris in a Father’s Day post in June 2022.
He wrote: “My love forever to you dear children, Paris, Dylan, Sean and Christopher, thank you deeply for your love on this Father’s Day.”
However, while Pierce smiled with his other three children, Paris, Dylan and Sean, Chris was not present in the snapshot.

He was also arrested for robbery at another club, Chinawhite, but the charges were later dropped.

Christopher’s sister Charlotte (right) tragically died from ovarian cancer, the same disease that took her mother’s life, in 2013, aged just 41 (pictured in 2003).
In an interview with Playboy in 2005, Pierce said: “Christopher is still very lost. Surprisingly. I know where he is, but he’s having a difficult life.
‘I can only have strong faith and believe that he will recover. He has tested every member of this family, but no one more than himself. He knows how to get out. He does not want.
Proving that this was a case of tough love, Pierce continued, “It’s painful because you close yourself off.” You never cut them completely, but I have cut Christopher. I had to say, “Go. Get busy living or get busy dying.” He has my prayers.’
Pierce married Keely Shaye Smith. The couple have been together since 1994 and married at Ballintubber Abbey in County Mayo, Ireland, in 2001.
