Christopher Brosnan was spotted going shopping in Notting Hill in London on Friday.
The 51-year-old, the estranged son of Pierce Brosnan, entered Waitrose as he walked along Portobello Road carrying 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 hoodie over a navy blue top.
He then added a khaki vest to the ensemble and finished the look with a pair of distressed Converse.
Meanwhile, his long dark hair stuck out from under a navy blue flat cap, which he wore backwards as he walked down the road.

The 51-year-old, the estranged son of Pierce Brosnan, appeared to have walked into Waitrose as he walked along Portobello Road carrying a bag from the supermarket chain.
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 biological father died in 1986 while married to Cassandra.
Charlotte tragically died from ovarian cancer – the same disease that took her mother’s life – in 2013 at just 41 years old.
However, the father and son became estranged after Pierce revealed he had ‘cut him off’ when Christopher refused to kick his drug addiction.
Chris fell into a downward spiral and suffered from cocaine and heroin addiction, once falling into a coma after overdosing.
Pierce appeared to reach out to Chris in a Father’s Day post in June 2022.
He wrote, “My love forever, dear sons, Paris, Dylan, Sean and Christopher, thank you so much for your love on this Father’s Day.”
But while Pierce beamed alongside his other three sons Paris, Dylan and Sean, Chris wasn’t immediately present.

Pierce and Chris subsequently became estranged after Pierce revealed that he “cut him off” when Christopher refused to kick his drug addiction.
In 1997, the director was sentenced to three months in prison for drink driving, after being fined £1,000 for the same offense the year before.
Chris, who starred in the original Love Island series in 2005, was also involved in a huge brawl at Browns nightclub in London and was later banned from the venue.
He was also arrested for theft at another club Chinawhite, but the charges were later dropped.

In 2005, Pierce said Chris’s misery had prompted him to “shut him down.”

Speaking to Playboy in 2005, Pierce said, “Christopher is still very lost. So shocking. I know where he is, but he has a hard life.
‘I can only have strong faith and believe that he will recover. He has tested everyone in this family, but none more so than himself. He knows how to get out. He does not want.
Proving it was a case of tough love, Pierce continued, “It’s painful because you shut down. You never cut them off completely, but I did cut Christopher off. I had to say, “Go. Get to work living, or get started dying.” He has my prayers.”
Pierce subsequently married Keely Shaye Smith. The couple have been together since 1994 and tied the knot in 2001 at Ballintubber Abbey in County Mayo, Ireland.
