Hollywood clichés about romances involving younger co-stars or older men dating considerably younger women are defied by Pierce Brosnan’s love story. Following his 1991 widower status, Brosnan fell in love with American journalist Keely Shaye Smith. The two have been blissfully married for 20 years and co-parent their children.
Keely’s weight and appearance have drawn criticism from some, despite their close bond. In reaction, Brosnan vehemently defended his spouse, stressing that he values every facet of her existence and accepts her for who she is, regardless of how she looks.
In Hollywood, where older men typically date much younger women, Brosnan defies the convention by choosing to stay faithful to the same woman. This demonstrates the exaggerated demands made on women’s appearance, implying that they should never “let themselves go” and constantly surpass males.
His devotion to his spouse serves as a role model for love that transcends appearances, highlighting the importance of accepting and valuing a person for who they really are. The bond between Pierce Brosnan and his partner is proof of the sincerity and profundity of real love.
CBS Mornings’ Gayle King, 69, makes debut as cover girl for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue
Once she decided to go through with the photoshoot she set a few ground rules. She wasn’t going to starve herself and she didn’t want any retouching of her photos, except for “a few dimples on her thighs.”
“My grandmother said to me [when I was little], ‘Mother nature was not as kind to you as she was to other little girls. Maybe you need to start wearing makeup.’ I just never saw myself this way.”
She added, “I know what I look like before I go into hair and makeup, so it’s hard for me to go from that to [the cover]. That’s something I have to process myself.”
King had nothing to worry about.
When she arrived at the photo shoot in Mexico, she said photographer Yu Tsai made her feel like “Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry all rolled into one.”
“I felt so comfortable and cared for that I didn’t even have time to feel self-conscious.”
“I never in a million years thought I would be standing here in a bathing suit for Sports Illustrated [Swimsuit], but here I am, which says to me that sometimes people can dream, God can dream, the universe can dream a bigger dream than you can ever think for yourself,” King told Sports
Illustrated. “I would have never thought this was possible. This was nowhere on my bucket list. So I’m thinking maybe it was a dream that I didn’t even know I wanted because now that I’m here, I want it bad.”
Gayle looks amazing! I think it’s wonderful how Sports Illustrated showcases all different ages, body types, and races in their issue. We’re not all the same, and everyone deserves to be represented.
