Pierce Brosnan paddle boarding during Hawaiian family holiday
As James Bond, we saw his giving chase down the Thames in a high-speed boat.
Pierce Brosnan proved he is still an action man during is Hawaiian holiday this week, even if his choice of water sports have slowed down a little.
The 58-year-old actor energetically took to the seas for a spot of paddle-boarding, spending hours gliding across the water.
Brosnan was joined by his son, who paddled along side him, while wife Keeley Shaye Smith, 48, preferred to stay close to the sand.
Pierce was sun safe in a pair of board shorts and rash vest as he enjoyed his water sport in the sunshine.
Earlier in the week, the former 007 star was a little less shy, sunning himself as he While her husband played in the water, Keely covered up for a walk along the shoreline.
The former television presenter wore a colourful patterned cover-up and navy leggings with a straw trilby to shade her face.
The family have a property in Kauai and split their time between the island and their home in Malibu. 'I live in the most beautiful part of the world now,' Brosnan once said of his Hawaiian abode.
While the Irish actor is happy to take things slow during his down time in Hawaii, he is as in-demand as ever when it comes to film roles.
Brosnan, who was recently seen alongside Sarah Jessica Parker in I Don't Know How She Does It, has two new projects completed and several others in the pipeline.
He stars in TV movie Bag of Bones and The Bald Hairdresser, scheduled for release next year. Brosnan is due to start filming The House Gun, with Chace Crawford shortly.
Despite his stellar career, he has seemingly not gotten over being unceremoniously replaced in his best known role, James Bond. 'I never go near them,' he has said. 'I'm badly criticised by my boys that I will not sit and watch them with them, but I just don't have any desire to see them
'I find no nourishment in them. I don't find any comfort in watching them.'
He can at least take heart in the knowledge that his co-star Dame Judi Dench has publicly said she preferred Brosnan over new Bond Daniel Craig and that she misses him terrible.
'Daniel's an incredible talent and I love working with him but I still miss Pierce', she told film website Comic Book Movie.
'He was a very warm man and always a lot of fun, always laughing and joking. Pierce was great to have around the set. We became close friends.
'I did four Bonds with him so I missed him after he finished with the role.'
