Pierce Brosnan enjoys a uncommon outing together with his 6ft 4in mannequin son Dylan as they step out for lunch in Mayfair

Pierce Brosnan enjoyed a rare outing with his model son Dylan, as they stepped out for lunch in Mayfair on Thursday.

The actor, 72, looked classically handsome in a brown suede blazer, which he paired with a brown scarf.

He completed his sophisticated look with a pair of black trousers, black leather dress shoes and a pair of brown sunglasses.

6ft 4in Dylan, 28, the elder of his two children with wife Keely Shaye Smith, opted for a casual display as he stepped out in a blue knitted jumper.

He completed his look with a pair of blue jeans, a button-up jacket and black Dr Marten boots.

The James Bond actor is a father of five as he shares Dylan and Paris, 24, with wife Keely.

He also shares his late daughter, Charlotte, and sons, Christopher, 53, and Sean, 42, with his first wife, the late actress Cassandra Harris.

Last month, Dylan was seen alongside his father as the former James Bond star reunited with his estranged son, Christopher, at an upmarket restaurant in the English capital.

Pierce appeared to be building bridges with his son after years of estrangement brought about by his son’s crippling addiction to cocaine and heroin.

Of their meeting, a source told The Mirror: ‘They both looked happy and relaxed while sitting down with one of Brosnan’s other sons, Dylan.

‘Pierce and Christopher’s problems have been well documented. But it seems they’ve managed to put them behind them. It was really nice to see them together.’

Speaking in 2005, Pierce admitted his eldest son’s spiralling addiction to Class-A drugs had prompted him to cut all ties.

‘Christopher is still very lost,’ he told Playboy. ‘Shockingly so. I know where he is, but he’s having a hard life.

‘I can only have strong faith and believe he will recover. He has tested everybody in this family, but none more so than himself.

Should parents ever cut off contact with adult children struggling with addiction, or is unconditional support always the right path?

‘He knows how to get out. He doesn’t want to.’

He added: ‘It’s painful because you shut down. You never completely cut them off, but I have cut Christopher off. 

‘I had to say, “Go. Get busy living, or get busy dying”. He has my prayers.’
