Pierce Brosnan always has his wife’s back: Inside his marriage with Keely

What is common for most Hollywood marriages is that they don’t last long. In fact, witnessing celebrities being devoted to that one person their whole life is pretty rare. This, however, isn’t true for the on-screen Casanova, Pierce Brosnan. He and his wife Keely have been happily married for over 20 years and are still very much in love and going strong.

Brosnan loves showing his love for his wife. For their 25th anniversary, he publicly thanked her for all her love.

They say the secret to their marriage and everlasting love is that no matter how hectic his work schedule is or how much she’s busy, they always find the way to spend quality one-on-one time together.

“My wife and I took a short road trip up to Santa Barbara – we were going for a romantic weekend and to look at houses and drink great wine. We didn’t listen to any music, but we just listened to the sounds of each other’s voices and sorted out the world,” he said.

Just recently, he shared a photo of him and his wife sharing a kiss at the beach during the celebration of his birthday. Along the cute photo, he wrote, “Thank you for the moon and sun and all the days of our lives together my darling heart Keely. I had a great 67th birthday. Thanks to one and all of you out there who wished me so. God bless, stay strong.”

Keely posted a photo herself and wished her love a very happy birthday. “Happy Happy Birthday to my tender hearted renaissance man @piercebrosnanofficial Wishing you love, joy, and many many more trips around the sun.”

Brosnan was first married to Australian actress Casandra Harris who tragically died of ovarian cancer back in 1991. Sadly, her daughter would lose her life due to the same illness. The Mrs. Doubtfire star had one child with her, but adopted her children from her previous marriage after the kids’ dad died. They took his surname. He has two sons with Keely, Dylan and Paris.

He loves sharing photos of his children.

We can’t wait to see more from this actor. Good news is he’s working on a couple of films, one of which, Cinderella, is about to be released in 2021.

It’s awesome Brosnan never let his fame change the man he always was. “I’ve been a married man most of my life — that’s the way I like it,” the A-lister told Closer Weekly. “I’m one of those guys who believes you need a strong woman in your life. I found a great woman in Keely … Not if I searched a million times over would I find one as good.”

Man sees young boy curiously staring at his phone and his act of kindness is captured on video

It’s the small things in life that make it whole and worth living, and as soon as we figure that out, we’ll learn true happiness.

This story from the New York subway makes us reconsider the way we treat all those people that we come across every single day, and ponder how our behavior towards someone can affect their day, or even life.

A man was casually sitting on the subway, listening to some music, and playing on his phone, unaware that his deed will touch so many people.

Riding the subway can be tiring, and it’s usually very crowded, so the guy was just sitting there, playing a game on his phone, which is pretty much what most commuters do.

However, his game caught the eye of the little boy sitting right next to him. We know how kids these days are overly addicted to technology and won’t let their parents’ smartphones out of hand, and this kid wasn’t any different. He was really interested to see how the guy’s game was proceeding, even giving him some advice on the next moves.

At first, however, the guy was so into his game that he didn’t even notice those sparkling eyes staring at his phone’s screen. But once he did, something really touching happened.

When the little boy realized he was caught staring at the stranger’s phone, he appeared a bit nervous.

He wasn’t really sure whether his “rude” behavior could get him into trouble, but he is just a kid and he simply couldn’t contain his innocent curiosity.

The guy continued playing as the boy continued looking at his device. Another passenger named Kia Tatiyana Davis, who was staying opposite these two, found the whole thing fun and sort of cute and decided to record it. But, she didn’t really expect the move the guy did next.

The guy takes the earbuds off the phone and gives it to the boy so that he could play the game himself.

The boy is both happy and surprised. The video of the kind act had been shared online and viewed by a great number of people who praised the guy for his sweet act and agreed that it made their day.

One person wrote: “What a sweet kid! He’s so curious but look at his posture. So much self-control for just a little guy! D’awww 😊👏👏 And way to go to the man who gave him a chance to play too. Very cool!”

Others added: “What a sweet hearted man… And that child…my heartfelt something really good watching this. My day was a real bummer until I watched this.”

We are positive that this act meant the world for the boy. And while many people will consider young kids looking at their phones annoying, that didn’t bother this man at all.

He didn’t do it because he wanted to impress anyone.

The guy had no idea someone was video-recording his interaction with his new pal.

An act of kindness always goes a long way.

We are sure there are other people out there who’d do the same thing, but unfortunately not every good deed is caught on tape.

Luckily, those that are, serve good example to each of us about how things should be done.

At the end of the day, life is all about making others happy.

We hope this video will inspire each of us to do good to others whenever possible.

The guy not only made the little boy’s ride in the subway more fun, but he taught him that humanity is still alive.

Clint Eastwood feels he’s in “best shape of his life”

Clint Eastwood has been a macho man his entire life. Currently, the 91-year-old actor and director is dating his girlfriend Christina Sandera and it looks like he has finally settled down. Known for his turbulent love life as much as he’s known for his incredible roles and films, Eastwood is now head over heels for Sandera who is said to have won the hearts of all of his eight children.

Sandera is 34 years his junior, but as we all know, when it comes to true love, age is just a number.

Throughout his career, which spans 60 years, Eastwood has won a number of awards, including four Academy Awards. His western Unforgiven, which he directed and starred in, earned him Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Director in 1992. Some 12 years later, Million Dollar Baby won four Academy Awards, with Eastwood getting two; for Best Picture and Best Director.

Among the movies he starred in during his career are the westerns A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and of course, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, which are widely known as “spaghetti westerns,” Dirty Harry, Flags of Our Fathers, Letters from Iwo Jima, Changeling, Gran Torino and American Sniper.

The good thing about Eastwood is that despite his age, he’s not planning on slowing down as he’s got to offer even more to the film industry, both on screen and behind the camera.

Speaking to Ellen DeGeneres about getting old, the legendary actor said: “I don’t think about it. I sometimes think, when I was a little kid, I used to hang out with my grandfather who was in his nineties. And I thought… who the hell would want to live this long?”

People close to him say that he’s in perfect shape and his health is on point. The pandemic slowed his schedule down so he gets to spend even more time with his kids and his grand-kids as he’s known to be a devoted father and grandfather.

Speaking to Closer, an insider said that his health is Eastwood’s priority right now. “Clint’s brain is on point… he joked that it’s his body that lags behind.

“There’s only so much he could [do],” the insider added. “He’s very comfortable with his daily routine. He looks forward to a good meal, reading, getting scripts, golf. But he really looks forward to another directing project, possibly acting in it too. He’s always looking for good stories to tell. He’s a storyteller. That’s always been his thing.”

Eastwood has plenty of project on his mind and we hope he will be able to carry them all out once the pandemic is over.

The legendary actor’s net worth is reported to be around $375 million, as per Celebrity Net Worth. But for Eastwood, it was never about the money, he’s simply born to act and direct, and he’s definitely one of the best in the film industry.

Preschooler tells mom he has a twin at school – photo melts her heart

We have so much to learn from children. They are always honest to the core and see the world through different eyes than us adults. Their hearts are pure and their love for those around them is profound.

The following story took place back in 2019, but it is so great that we couldn’t help but re-share it with you.

Twin day was just around the corner and a preschooler named Myles told his mother how there was a boy at the school who would be his twin for the day because apparently, the two looked exactly the same. The boy in question was Myles’ classmate Tanner. The two boys were really close. They were in fact best friends, and although Myles’ mom, Britney Tankersley, was aware of that fact, she had never met Tanner in person. So, when her son told her that Tanner looked exactly like him, she decided to trust his word and pictured a white boy with blonde hair and blue eyes, just like Myles.

What she didn’t know was that in fact, the boys weren’t alike at all, but her son didn’t see their differences.

Britney stopped by Walmart the previous day and bought matching outfits for the “twins.” The following day, when the teacher sent her a photo of Myles and Tanner, Britney was deeply touched.

“Their teacher sent me this picture today,” his mom, Britney wrote next to the photo she shared on her Facebook. “My heart melted. Obviously two very different children, but Myles didn’t see that. Wouldn’t the world be such a better place if we could all view it through the eyes of a couple 5yr olds♥️“

Needless to say, her post attracted the attention of thousands of people who wished for the same; us grown-ups to be able to see the world through the eyes of children.

“He was our little nerd and we loved that about him. He loved school and loved to learn.”

“He loved the history channel, the weather channel, documentaries and anything about history.”

“He loved ships like the Titanic and learning about things like WWII. He was perfect. His favorite movie was jaws.”

This little boy will be sadly missed by all that knew him, his parents especially and we send our love and prayers to him! Please SHARE this touching story with your friends and family. Peace and Love Bored Daddy

Toddlers who were best friends in Chinese orphanage reunite when they get adopted by neighbors

They say you can’t escape fate, and these two beautiful children from our story, who have been destined to spend not only their childhood, but hopefully their lives together, are just another proof of that.

Sharon Sykes from Plano, Texas, adopted a little girl, whom they named Hannah, from an orphanage in China. The process took some time but Sharon knew Hannah belonged with her family the moment she saw her.

One night, as she was going through her daughter’s adoption information, something caught her eye. Namely, in all the photos of Hannah, she was pictured together with a boy her age. They could be seen kissing, holding hands, and playing together.

Upon further inspection, Sharon learned that the boy was Hannah’s best friend at the orphanage. They spent every minute of every day by each other’s side, and now that she was getting adopted, the two would be forced to be separated.

“When we went to the actual orphanage to get her, she was hugging him and they were giving each other kisses,” Sharon shared with Inside Edition. “That was her little friend, how could I leave him there?”

Further, she told Good Morning America, “They just shared such a sweet and special bond. They were so close we just couldn’t imagine leaving him in China and him not having a forever family himself.”

Sharon then made it her mission to find the boy a loving home. She shared his story online hoping someone would take a notice of how sweet and loving he was. Luckily, that’s exactly what happened.

Amy Clary, who lives five minutes away from Sharon, came across the story of the boy and she showed interest in adopting him. “Look at his eyes and his smile,” Amy told ABC News. “How could you deny that? He’s just so sweet. We had to bring him home.”

The Clary family filled the adoption papers and prayed for the boy to be brought to them. Around a year later, the adoption was finalized and the little guy, whom his new family named Dawson, was finally in America. He was about to embark on a new journey and someone familiar was at the airport to welcome him, his friend Hannah.

“They must have hugged 400 times! They kept hugging and getting so giddy that they would fall over,” Amy shared with KTVT.

The footage of the two best friends reuniting after such a long time was shared online and it touched the hearts of thousands of people who got to witness the beautiful moment.

“My heart just burst into joy. It’s a miracle. He’s adopted by such a great family that lives so close to us, and Hannah gets to have him as a little friend. I’m overjoyed,” Sharon told Inside Edition. “Every since we’ve met the Clarys, we’re now like best friends.

“(Hannah and Dawson will be seeing each other on a regular basis— at least weekly, if not more.”

Teen reveals trick that helped her outwit hotel intruders and it’s now going viral

The quick-thinking of one young lady proved a lifesaver in what could easily turn into a life-threatening situation.

Josie Bowers, a young woman who could easily become a victim of robbery or even kidnapping, shared with her TikTok followers how she avoided a potentially dangerous situation while on vacation with her family some four years ago.

Namely, Josie and her parents stayed at a Hilton hotel in Ocean City, Maryland and at one point, she was all by herself in the room. Just as she was getting ready to take a shower, Josie heard strange noises coming from behind the door. She got scared and needed to act quickly.

“Before I could shower I heard these noises, I went to go see what it was and it was this contraption. I was just standing there in my towel and this man opened the door,” the now 19-year-old Josie shared in one of her TikTok videos.

“My main thought was holy s*** I’m in a towel right now and someone is about to break in and get me. So the door opens a crack, and I just slammed it back shut and put the deadbolt on.”

At that point, she tried to think of all the tricks her police officer stepdad taught her.

The two men behind the door started talking to her and explained how they were hotel employees who were there to fix her door.

“So they tell me ‘your keycard is broken and we need to get into the room and fix your keypad for you,’” Josie continued. “And so I open the door a tad bit, to see if it was a worker. It clearly wasn’t, they were in jeans and a T-shirt. Hilton keeps it pretty classy, not the attire.”

At that moment, she knew she needed to pretend she wasn’t in the room all by herself and yelled, “Hey dad, there’s someone here to fix the door.” This worked and she could hear the men running. “As soon as they thought that I wasn’t alone – and potentially my dad was there – they ran, they were gone,” she shared with her followers.

“I’m glad I had this experience so I can teach people about it. Obviously, I’m safe but it could have ended up a lot worse,” she said. “Be safe, you can get door stoppers, always put on the deadbolt.”

The video of Josie was seen more than 12 million times and people thanked her for this useful tip.

Woman feels the urge to share police officer’s heartwarming act of kindness after car crash

It’s truly incredible how small acts of kindness can influence a great number of people to do good themselves. This is the story of officer Brian Dougherty, a truly compassionate man who brought smiles on the faces of the many people who stumbled upon his good deed towards a young boy whose family was involved in a car accident.

In fact, the accident involved three vehicles, and fortunately, no one was injured, but it was obvious that the boy was in distress from the whole situation.

It was then that officer Brian stepped in. He took the boy with him and then both sat at a street curb. In order to cheer him up, officer Brian started talking to him and asked him about his favorite Disney character. The boy calmed down and felt secure by his newly made friend’s side.

One of the people who was in the other car which took part in the accident was Janet Balestriero. She took notice of the officer and couldn’t help but snap a photo and share it on Facebook. This is what she wrote, “Car Accidents can be scary… especially when it’s your first. I found myself smiling at that scene wondering if anyone else even noticed this Officer’s kindness.”

Soon after, the photo, along with Janet’s post, was shared thousands of times. People praised officer Brian’s action. One person wrote, “Thank you officer for your act of kindness, although you probably thought nothing of it. Just calming and reassuring a little boy! A compassionate heart you have sir!”

Coral Springs PD wrote that officer Brian has been with the department since 2016 and that he’s also part of the department’s SWAT team. Clyde Perry, Coral Springs Police Chief, humbly said, “[We’re] so proud of our officers. Things like this happen often, but are rarely reported on.”

Janet decided to do something for the kind officer herself.

Namely, she’s part of the organization Kindness Rock Project which writes inspirational messages on rocks and then places them at different locations so that random people can find them. This time, she painted a rock with officer Brian’s badge number on it and left it at the Coral Springs PD.

“A single act of kindness can have a ripple effect,” Janet says, and we can’t agree more.
