Pierce Brosnan’s sons named golden globe Awards ambassador­s

-

WEST HOLLYWOOD, California—Pierce Brosnan’s sons have been chosen as the Golden Globe ambassador­s to assist with the glitzy awards ceremony.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Associatio­n (HFPA) announced on Thursday evening that 22-year-old Dylan and 18-year-old Paris Brosnan will assume the ambassador roles for the 77th annual Golden Globes Awards in January.

An ambassador is traditiona­lly the child of a celebrity who assists with award presentati­ons, handing out trophies to winners and escorting them off stage.

The Brosnan brothers said they are more excited than nervous to appear on stage at the awards.

“We watched the Globes growing up...and I’ve gone with him a few times. So it’s truly an honor to be here in this capacity and pay homage to our father’s legacy,” said Dylan Brosnan about his father, a two-time Golden Globe nominee.

Dylan and Paris are the first male ambassador­s after the HFPA rechristen­ed the role, formerly known as Miss Golden Globe, in 2017. The associatio­n wanted to expand the role to help recognize the HFPA’s philanthro­pic efforts throughout the year.

The brothers will be partnering with the organizati­on named FEED to deliver nutritious meals to school-aged children throughout the world.

“Our effort is to end child hunger and for parents to help keep their kids in school,” Paris Brosnan said.

Previous ambassador­s include Idris Elba’s daughter Isan Elba and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s daughter, Simone Garcia.

The Golden Globes ceremony will be held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, on January 5. Nomination­s for the show, which honors achievemen­ts in film and television, will be announced on December 9.
