Christopher Brosnan was spotted out shopping in London’s Notting Hill on Friday.
The 51-year-old, who is the estranged son of Pierce Brosnan, popped into Waitrose as he walked along Portobello Road with a bag from the supermarket chain.
The filmmaker – who has worked as an assistant director on Pierce’s films, Tomorrow Never Dies and The World Is Not Enough – layered up despite the summer weather as he wore a red Nike hoody over a navy top.
He then added a khaki gilet to the ensemble and completed the look with some worn looking Converse.
Meanwhile his long dark hair stuck out from beneath a navy blue flat cap which he wore backwards as he walked down the road.
Chris is the biological son of Pierce’s late first wife, Australian actress Cassandra Harris, and her ex-husband Dermot.
Pierce adopted both Chris and his late sister Charlotte when their birth father died in 1986 while he was married to Cassandra.
Charlotte tragically died from ovarian cancer – the same illness that took the life of her mother – in 2013 at the age of just 41.
However the father and son became estranged after Pierce revealed he had ‘cut him off’ when Christopher refused to kick his drug habit.
Chris fell into a downwards spiral and suffered from cocaine and heroin addictions, and once fell into a coma following an overdose.
Pierce appeared to reach out to Chris in a Father’s Day post back in June 2022.
He wrote: ‘My love forever to you dear sons, Paris, Dylan, Sean and Christopher, thank you deeply for your love on this Father’s Day.’
However while Pierce beamed alongside his other three sons Paris, Dylan and Sean, Chris was not present in the snap.
In 1997, the director was jailed for three months for drink-driving after being fined £1,000 for the same offence the year earlier.
Chris, who starred on the original Love Island series in 2005, was also involved in a massive brawl at Browns nightclub in London and was later banned from the venue.
He was also arrested for theft at another club Chinawhite, but charges were later dropped.

Back in 2005, Pierce said Chris’ woes had prompted him to ‘cut him off’.
Speaking to Playboy in 2005, Pierce said: ‘Christopher is still very lost. 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. He knows how to get out. He doesn’t want to.
Proving that it was a case of tough love, Pierce continued: ‘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.’
Pierce went on to marry Keely Shaye Smith. The pair have been together since 1994 and tied the knot at Ballintubber Abbey in County Mayo, Ireland, in 2001.
