Reunion With His Mother
Seven years after leaving him with his grandparents, he was eventually reunited with his mother at the age of 11. Pierce was indeed happy to be back with his mother, but the move affected him. He was uprooted from the place he had grown up and moved to a new school, house and surroundings. His mother had even remarried, so Pierce needed to form a relationship with his new stepfather, William Carmichael. It was Camichael that took Brosnan to see his first Bond film, Goldfinger!

Early Struggles
Pierce was happy to be reunited with his mother, but it would certainly take time to settle into the new life that had come before him. With this in mind, it isn’t surprising that it wasn’t an easy adjustment, moving to England. Pierce struggled with making friends at school and experienced bullying and teasing from the other children. Pierce was always tall for his age and different (being Irish), but whatever the case he still suffered. To make life more tolerable, he picked up an impressive hobby that only seemed to benefit him. Pierce became a fire-eater, performing for people in the streets. He even worked in the circus for a while. It was this hobby that helped him to get his place in the Drama Centre of London.
