It's probably no surprise that former 007 Pierce Brosnan has not one but two model sons—24-year-old Dylan Brosnan and 20-year-old Paris Brosnan. But while you might not be familiar with their work, that's about to change. On Wednesday, VManmagazine revealed that Paris Brosnan is one of the cover stars for its New Rulers digital issue. In addition to appearing on one of the covers, Brosnan has a full photoshoot and interview available on the website, in which he talks about modeling, painting, and his career ambitions.
The New Rulers issue features several young people who are up-and-coming in the entertainment industry, like rapper 24KGoldn and TikTok star Noah Beck. Paris is featured due to his modeling career and interest in art. At only 20 years old, he has already reached quite a few achievements in modeling with several magazine covers—including one with his dad and brother—and walking down high fashion runways. Now, he's in college and looking forward to a career in the arts.

Paris had an early connection to fashion.
VManIn his interview, Paris talked about his modeling career and interest in fashion. "My relationship with fashion is intimate—it’s been present my entire life," he said. "I grew up in a stylish family. I’m grateful [to have] been introduced to many creatives and friends through fashion work."
Paris is signed by Next Models and previously appeared on covers for GQ Korea, Numéro, Rollacoaster, and Vanity Teen. He's walked the runway for Dolce & Gabbana, Balmain, and in the Fashion for Relief show.

"Happy 20th birthday dear Paris love always, keep doing good things, life is all about doing, work hard, and have lots of laughs along the way," he wrote. "Be good, be kind courageous, curious and always on time. Dad."
Dylan is also a model, and has worked with Burberry, YSL, and Moschino, and has appeared in Vogue and Wonderland, among other magazines. You might also recognize the brothers from the 2020 awards season, when the Brosnan boys were the Golden Globes Ambassadors.

Paris is a painter and hopes to have a show.
Paris Brosnan/InstagramParis currently attends Loyola Marymount University, and he told VMan, "Right now, I’m passionate about my art. I've been painting at home all through quarantine and it’s proven to be a great release and outlet for self-expression. It’s nice because I don’t do it for anybody but myself. And if people like it, that’s just a bonus." Some of Paris' paintings can be seen on his Instagram. He also painted the clothes worn in the VMan photoshoot.
"Everything I paint just comes to mind on the spot," he continued. "I pull inspiration from the greats, but don’t we all? I’m continuing to learn more and enjoy the process. I hope to do a gallery showing soon."

His dad is an artist, too.
Pierce Brosnan/InstagramWhile Pierce Brosnan is known as an actor, he's a painter as well. You can see a video showing some of his paintings on Instagram. In the post he explains, "At the end of last year I was to have my first show in Santa Monica, well, that got put on hold. In the meantime, we keep working on our creative life."
In another Instagram post, Pierce said that he painted while on breaks from his first James Bond movie, GoldenEye. A painting he did at that time was released earlier this year as limited edition prints.
Though he's not a visual artist, son Dylan is also artistic—he plays music in a band called Raspberry Blonde. He graduated from the University of Southern California last year.
