Pierce Brosnan was spotted on a rare outing with his son Christopher Brosnan.

In photos obtained by Fox News Digital, the 72-year-old actor was seen with Christopher, 52, as they enjoyed dinner with one of Brosnan's other sons, Dylan Brosnan, 28, on Nov. 5.

The trio were photographed together while leaving the Michelin-starred bistro Dorian in London's upscale Notting Hill neighborhood.

An eyewitness told the Mirror that both Brosnan and Christopher "looked happy and relaxed" as they dined with Dylan.

"Pierce and Christopher’s problems have been well documented," the onlooker added. "But it seems they’ve managed to put them behind them. It was really nice to see them together."

Christopher is the biological son of Brosnan’s first wife, Cassandra Harris, and her ex-husband Dermot Harris, who also shared a daughter, Charlotte. After Dermot died of a heart attack in 1986, Brosnan formally adopted Christopher and Charlotte.

Brosnan and Cassandra were married from 1980 until her death from ovarian cancer at the age of 43 in 1991. The "Mamma Mia!" star and the late Australian actress also shared son Sean Brosnan, 42.

In 2001, Brosnan married Keely Shaye Smith, with whom he shares Dylan and son Paris, 24. In 2013, Charlotte tragically died of ovarian cancer at the age of 41.

Christopher is a filmmaker who previously worked as an assistant director on Brosnan's 007 films "Tomorrow Never Dies" (1997) and "The World Is Not Enough" (1999). Following the death of his mother, Christopher struggled with depression and battled drug and alcohol addiction.

He also reportedly faced legal issues related to his addiction, including a three-month stint in jail for drunk driving.

During a 2005 interview with Playboy, Brosnan opened up about Christopher's addiction struggles and revealed that he had severed ties with his son.

"Christopher is still very lost. Shockingly so. I know where he is, but he’s having a hard life," Brosnan said, via the Daily Mail.

"I can only have strong faith and believe he will recover," he continued. "He has tested everybody in this family but none more so than himself. He knows how to get out. He doesn’t want to."

"It's painful because you shut down," Brosnan added. "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."

It is unclear when the two reunited but Brosnan included Christopher in an Instagram post when he celebrated Father's Day in 2022. The Ireland native was pictured with only three of his sons, but he named Christopher in the caption.

"My love forever to you dear sons, Paris, Dylan, Sean and Christopher, thank you deeply for your love on this Father’s Day," Brosnan wrote.
