Pierce Brosnan didn't give his sons Dylan and Paris acting advice as the trio starred together in The Unholy Trinity
The 72-year-old star is joined by his youngest boys Dylan, 28, and Paris, 24, - who he has with his wife Keely Shaye Smith - in the film and explained that he didn't want to overload the pair on their acting bows in the Western action flick.
Pierce told People magazine: "I gave very little advice, and they asked me for very little advice. I think both men knew instinctively what to do: Show up on time, know your lines, and be brilliant. Be relaxed, and have fun, and go play."
However, the former James Bond actor was less impressed by how untidy his sons were in the motor home they shared during the snowy production.
Brosnan said: "It was winter, the snow was coming in, they didn't wipe their feet. Just the old common sense, 'Wipe your feet, take your boots off, for God's sake!' You know?"
Pierce revealed how Dylan and Paris grew up on his movie sets as they travelled the world with their parents at the height of his movie career.
The star - who also adopted his late wife Cassandra Harris' (who passed away aged 43 in 1991 from ovarian cancer) children Chris, 52, and Charlotte - who died from the same disease as her mother in 2013 at the age of 41 - recalled: "We always stayed together tight as a family during the days of James Bond.
"(Dylan and Paris) have been on the road with me since they were tiny. Keely and I took them everywhere with us around the world."
Paris explained that he and his brother's appearance in the movie "organically came about".
He said: "It kind of naturally and organically came about. There were some little opening for us to get in there and dip our toes in the water."
Dylan, meanwhile, wasn't concerned about how much screen time he got as he embraced the chance to act alongside his father and brother.
He said: "It was just really nice to go spend time with Dad and Paris and be a part of that."

Why Glastonbury was fast fashion, not art
After watching some of Glastonbury 2025, I'm no more mortified by Western arts institutions or broadcasters than I was yesterday. I'm no more disappointed by crowds, and no less surprised by artists and cultural institutions who would rather capitalise on fashion's worst offerings than nourish the public. The fallout from this year's festival says more about fashion – who controls it, who benefits from it, who subscribes to it, and why – than it does about any artist or any music festival's grasp on antisemitism.

Why are some people cool and others, well, not? The six traits that make you stand out from the crowd
Is there a secret sauce that helps explain why people as different as David Bowie, Samuel L Jackson and Charli XCX all seem so self-assured and, well, cool? A new study suggests that there are six specific traits that these people tend to have in common: Cool people are largely perceived to be extroverted, hedonistic, powerful, adventurous, open and autonomous. The study, which was published on Monday in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, surveyed nearly 6,000 participants from 12 countries around the world. Their beliefs about what's 'cool' were similar regardless of where the study participants lived, and despite differences in age, income level, education or gender. 'What blew my mind was the fact that it was pretty much the same result everywhere,' says Caleb Warren, one of the authors of the study and a professor at the Eller College of Management at the University of Arizona who has researched consumer psychology for two decades. In the study, each participant had to recognise the word 'cool' in English, without translation, suggesting that they were already familiar with — or maybe even idolised — notions of coolness from wealthy Western countries like the United States. Loading The study offers a window into the spread of cultural beliefs from one group of people to another, says Joseph Henrich, an anthropologist and a professor of human evolutionary biology at Harvard University who was not involved in the study. 'Globally, American success has led to the diffusion of music styles and an immense amount of cultural content, including, apparently, the concept of cool,' Henrich says. Coolness is not a widely studied subject. Past research has found that coolness is usually considered something positive: people who are cool are also friendly, competent, trendy and attractive. But Warren and his colleagues wanted to know what makes a person distinctly 'cool' rather than just 'good'.

Ellen Pompeo wants help keeping ageing at bay
Ellen Pompeo isn't planning to "keep it 100% natural" as she gets older. The 55-year-old actress is trying to keep the signs of ageing "at bay" and while she does what she can to look after herself, she also boosts her routines with "a little bit of Botox", Morpheus8 treatments and skin peels. She told People magazine: 'Obviously getting older is a privilege, but I definitely make my living on TV with my face. So, I think you can lean into the aging, if you want, or you can fight it. And I think I'm just trying to keep it at bay, you know? "I definitely am not going to say I'm keeping it 100% natural, that's for sure. I definitely have vanity. It's definitely not easy to watch yourself age.' But the Grey's Anatomy star - who has two daughters with husband Chris Ivery - isn't prepared to have filler. She said: 'I don't like it at all. I'm not really into it." Ellen follows a "super-clean" diet because she thinks staying active and watching what she eats are key to how she looks and feels. She said: 'I think diet and exercise is honestly the key. I know everybody says it, but I really do. I'm a pretty regimented person. Very disciplined. My husband says I'm the most disciplined person he knows, which I think is a compliment. 'I'm really quite militant about the way I eat and what I eat." However, she noted her weakness is sweets, but added: "I really try to manage it. I really just try to eat dark chocolate and cherries.' Ellen has to move "all day long", and "pretty much every day" tries to indulge in a sauna and a cold plunge. She said: 'I'll ride my bike from my trailer to the set... "'Even when I travel, I try to look for hotels that have a sauna and a pool. If they don't have a cold plunge, put a little bit of ice water on your face! I think it really tightens up my face, and the endorphin rush also makes me feel great.' The Good American Family actress is proud to be an ambassador for Cindy Crawford's Meaningful Beauty. She said: 'I am old enough to know that Cindy was one of the first women to have a beauty brand. I don't know of any other women in her position that were doing beauty brands back then when it wasn't cool or popular. I'm sure she got more than a few eye rolls. 'I love the serum. That's my hero product from the line, and, I think that's their best product."
