Pierce Brosnan - I Love My Wife The Way She Is

saying if he doesn't have a problem with her weight, why should anyone else care?

Right?

He should have married Stepfhanie Zimbalest

They were perfect together on Remington Steele.

[quote] He should have married Stepfhanie Zimbalest

They despised one another and only spoke to each other, when the camera was rolling

That according to Doris Roberts

Maybe they have a great time together. And she’s not Metz-sized.

He’s gorgeous even in the beach pics where he has a bit of a belly too.

No one cares about her size, no one

One of the few happy Hollywood marriages I truly believe in. I'm sure there are many (Tom Hanks & Rita Wilson, Cheryl & Ron Howard) but I really like these two people. They seem very well-adjusted and happy together.

Sometimes a twink becomes a bear.

If he loves her, that's fine and I don't think anyone should attack her, but let's not pretend it's isn't shocking to people because he is a gorgeous and famous actor.

If he were in middle management in Topeka and had a beer gut, it would be expected.

His wife is not in the public eye, so how she looks is no one's business but her own.

Some Dataloungers have this bizarre idea that everyone in the world, famous or not, has an obligation to look thin for them.

He doesn’t mind because he has those memories of banging her when she was young and hot. He was probably a savage with that girl. Now they hardly have sex but when they do he’s thinking about the good old times.

I think people bring it up because they're shocked how much weight she gained during their marriage.

R8 Well, he does have a beer gut.

His first wife died young, that can change your outlook on stuff like this. Anyway, why shouldn’t he love his fat wife?

R12 well they both seem to enjoy life judging by their lack of gym honed physiques. I’d rather be like that at their age than size zero and spending every hour in the gym.

She’s fat but pretty. Maybe he’s A Chubby chaser. Maybe he’s a romantic. The more the cushion the better the pushin!

Plus a girl with a healthy appetite probably swallows. Rare for a cis chic

Catholic love. For better or worse.

She probably looks younger like this than she would at a much lower weight. I think she looks rather okay. I’m not into very skinny. He is totally my type even at his advanced age and the fact he defends her makes me like him even more.

Not everyone is shallow, he clearly loves her, good for him.

HE FUCKIN LOVES HER ALRIGHT!

I hope her menu includes eating his ass. Mine certainly would

It's true love.

But he's probably fucking something else on the side.

he has great chest hair in the picture in R11

He's got a feeder fetish.

Too bad his sons are not handsome.

It's fine, she looks cozy and they seem comfortable together. But geez, she gained so much. You rarely see that happen to such a beautiful woman. She can't feel totally good about it.

He was so dreamy in “the long good Friday”, so homoerotic in the swimming pool scene.

I honestly think Keely looks smashing here. The dress fits well, the blue is gorgeous, the fussy details work on her, bag and shoes perfect. She's pretty and overall the effect is strangely attractive.

I'm sorry, but you don't get that big being happy.

Maybe she's in menopause... women put on a lot of weight during this time?

R28 I agree, she looks nice there. A sexy older couple.

I can see why they would be attracted to each other, they have similar wide eyes.

R29 I think you can. Food is amazing, I'd blow up in a nanosecond if I ate the way I want to. At my age, I have to restrict and it's rather miserable. It must be awful to be a young starlet and have to stay skinny. Maybe once Keely was secure in her marriage she was happy to let loose and EAT.

I prefer keelys look to Nicole Kidman’s for example. She is older than Kidman but looks younger in the face.

she's too fat and it's not healthy. I bet she's diabetic.

Respectfully, since she's no longer with us, I wonder if Pierce would still be married to Cassandra if she were alive. He certainly picked a different physical type with Keely. Seems like he was lucky enough to find real love twice. The marrying kind, I guess.

R25 but I’m sure any insecurity she may have is lessened by being with a guy who doesn’t seem to mind it which seems to be the case with Brosnan. One can still be beautiful at a slightly larger size and honestly at her age, who expects her to be a sex kitten anyway.

Normally I would be a real cunt about this sort of thing. I don’t feel compelled to cash this couple, though. They have been together fora long time and they aren’t obnoxious. They seem to actually love each other. Good for them.

R37 You’re right. I do like her. They seem content.

What I don't understand about fat people is the fact that it doesn't feel good. I've been slim all my life, but in middle age and with WFH, have developed a potbelly. It feels awful. I can't imagine what it would feel like to be carrying so much extra weight, having thunder thighs that always rub against each other, etc.

I was under the impression here weight is due to some sort of health condition (or the meds she takes for it). She still has an absolutely gorgeous face. Brosnan does seem like he knows what's important in life, so he loves her for who she is. His first wife was quite a bit older than him and she had children by a previous husband. I believe he raised her children as his own after she died and her (their) daughter also died of the same cancer as her mother a few years ago. He posted about it and the way he spoke, he viewed her death as losing his child, not stepchild. He seems like a good guy.

If he really wants the best health for her, then he should maybe encourage her to lose a few pounds for health reasons. Not saying she should go back to average weight but even just 30-40 pounds can improve health especially when older. Because I’m telling you, when obese people hit their 60s and older, their quality of life really get affected by the extra weight. High blood pressure, diabetes, joint problems which affect mobility, and respiratory issues leading to sleep apnea which then increases chance for stroke and cardiovascular events.

So fuck this “he loves her the way shes is”. Isn’t that what chubby chasers or enabler spouses of people on My 600 Lb life say, and they get dragged for it, rightly so?

Given what happened to him with his previous wife and her and their family, I'm pretty sure that he's likes a solid family at home and is very committed to his wife.

R43 perhaps she’s tried losing weight and maybe it’s not so easy for her due to other issues. Or perhaps she has no medical issues relating to her size and is quite happy and secure. Maybe pierce really treats her well and there’s no reason for her to need to want to change her appearance. She looks happy and charming and not at all unattractive and I can honestly see the appeal of someone like that.

Some people are into chubby/fat people, just check out the fetishes on porn sites. Or some people actually just genuinely love and are committed to the person that they married.

R43, if her doctor tells her to lose the weight then she should. If she's in otherwise good health, then there's not as much of an issue. She's hardly a 600 pound woman.

She is still at an unhealthy weight. There are always lurking medical issues when you are this overweg=ight for many years. She was fat before menopause unless she went into it very early.

Her legs in that picture look deformed. What possible reason could there be that she can't get down to 160 or so - that's not anywhere near thin but it's a decent weight and she'd look gorgeous and with curves. But this? This is weight that makes you unable to physically do much like walk without hip issues and other problems like breathing.

Some people say they love their obese spouse but don’t consider the unhealthy aspects of obesity. At the end of the day, it’s no one else’s business except the Brosnans. But at her age and weight she’s at greater risk too for reproductive cancers like breast and ovarian cancer. Also, her greatest fat distribution is at top half especially abdomen, the worst kind of obesity.

I’m just saying, R43, coming from the health side of things, I see nonchalance with obesity and obesity-related concerns. Most of the time both spouses are obese and one confirms the other’s reluctance to gain control of their own health. Yeah I can prescribe Lipitor and other meds so that people don’t change lifestyle habits, but meds have side effects and they don’t eliminate all negative consequences.

I think he’s admirable for being supportive of criticism against her weight solely based on OMG how is he married to her still, that kind of cruelty. But I think he should’ve not said anything because now his statement sounds like typical chubby chaser excuse.

She’s a beautiful woman. Fuck anyone who says otherwise.

Also. Why make a statement??? It’s none of our fucking business.

The tabloids used to snark about her weight all the time, I have to assume they've been doing it again, or maybe an interviewer asked them.

Brosnan isn't the type to make a statement for no reason, he's obviously reacting to something. He's an older guy, not some young celeb who brings stuff up randomly to get attention.

He has to be one of the most beautiful men that ever lived., Lucky gal.

[quote]So fuck this “he loves her the way shes is”.

There are a lot of Dataloungers who believe it's morally wrong to love someone the way they are. It's pathological sometimes, like they're so angry at the very concept of unconditional support and love that they rail against it as if it were the worst thing anyone could do.

Not healthy.

She was a skinny Minnie.

And her (their) model lookalike son is incredibly skinny.

I’m thinking medicated thyroid issues. Taking thyroxine is how my slim healthy active mother gained quite a bit in her mid-late 50s (and yeah, it depresses her).

Pierce is always marrying his Mum.

1/ Cassandra an older woman with kids.

2/ Keely turning into big (huge) mother figure

Keely must not be THAT happy with her weight.

No photos of her body of her IG.

She is a sell-out.

She has a very pretty face. Losing a couple of KGs would be good, if only for her health.

Pierce is still a very handsome man.

Where? When?

Pierce never actually said "I love my wife the way she is."

That's OP's wishful thinking.

Straight men of his years usually want their wives to act as a useful quiet obedient stand-in for his mother and maid and nurse, rather than as a desirable sexual companion or a sparring partner.

She’s probably very emotionally caring and attentive, warm-bosomed, domestic and family-focused, faithful and unchallenging.

It’s great he loves her as is. But around the house without the Spanx, sexy dresses and high heels she probably looks like hell.

No way he would have hooked up with her in the first place if she were that fat. He's probably just accepting it now because what else is he going to do?

[QUOTE] He's probably just accepting it now because what else is he going to do?

What countless other rich men have done: leave her for a younger, thinner woman. You think Pierce Brosnan would have much trouble finding one if he wanted to?

I think people who are able to prioritize what's important to them and make tradeoffs are more likely to be happier in a relationship and have it last longer.

He's probably weighed the pros and cons of getting to bang a hot younger chick versus the security and peace of mind with his wife. Also, he probably has to make fewer concessions and compromises with someone with whom he's been for a long time. There is something to be said for the other 23 hours a day that you're not getting off. Not to mention, she's the mother of two of his kids. Perhaps tossing the mother of his children away would make them a bit less apt to attend holidays...or answer the phone when he calls.

I know it's a pipe dream, but I like the rom-com idea that he actually loves her and cares less about what she looks like and more about the life they've built over the past 30 years.

That’s all fine and dandy, so long as we acknowledge that Pierce does have options. He’s not some hump standing behind the cash register at a car wash. So if he’s with her, it’s because he wants to be with her, not because he’s stuck and doesn’t really like her. Only poor men get painted into those kinds of corners.

He’s 68. How much sex does he really need/want at this point?

It’s unusual how she actually is still very pretty while that obese. Very lucky. I agree that it’s got to be quite unhealthy and could be a medical condition that set it off in the first place. I think it’s wonderful that he still loves her and goes to red carpet events with her on his arm. I also am shocked that a woman in the entertainment industry who was always so beautiful and vain has the balls to step out with such a handsome man like she does while looking so different than she used to. Good for them. None of us can judge happiness and they do seem genuinely happy. I also had no idea that he lost his stepdaughter recently too. The guy has been through a lot and probably genuinely cares about the important things in life. I’ve never heard anything bad about either of them. Wish them the best.

[quote]if her doctor tells her to lose the weight then she should. If she's in otherwise good health, then there's not as much of an issue. She's hardly a 600 pound woman.

Amazing that we've gotten to a point where 200...300...400...or 500lbs, would not be considered worrisome.

Any doctor who looks at her size and says that's healthy, should lose their license. It's one thing to be 25lbs overweight, but she is clearly obese. Not overweight, obese.

[quote] Pierce never actually said "I love my wife the way she is."

Pierce made a facebook post to address the chatter this week, I'm too lazy to look it up

Fat and happy, exhibit A. Don't see the problem here.

[quote]He should have married Stepfhanie Zimbalest. They were so perfect together

You better run that past Stephanie. SHE'S GAY.

When they did "Dante's Peak" together, Linda Hamilton remarked that the worse things got in the movie, the better he looked.

R63

I don’t know what you are talking about.

R68 It doesn’t matter how huge her tits are if her waist measures 50 inches. The desired physique for women today isn’t limited to 1950s taste of big jugs and girdle-cinched waists. Straight, educated men under 40 today generally prefer the Miley Cyrus (crass as she is) type of bodies over obese Lizzo or matronly Meghan McCain types unless they’re moron MAGA asshats or rap fans.

Pretty sure you can say the same for uneducated under 40 and educated over 40. Most men who are with larger women are large themselves. See: Midwest/South.

We can't pretend this isn't an anomaly for several reasons.

There is no way they are fucking. She gets more pleasure from food, quite obvious. He is fucking someone else or maybe just getting BJs from her.

He married her when she was thin. I'm guessing that had she been fat when they met, they probably wouldn't have dated. I doubt he stopped loving her because she gained weight, but probably would prefer it if she was slimmer.

I did hear a rumor a while ago that he had someone on the side. Hope it’s not true but can understand it. I think he really loves her and if she has a medical condition or a mental health condition I’m sure he wants to look after her….after what happened to his last wife and stepdaughter.

If you're in a long-term Hollywood marriage, you accept certain behavior.

R75 Stop making it about Trump. Christ almighty.

[quote] If you're in a long-term Hollywood marriage, you accept certain behavior.

In any long term marriage - those not even this long - it's hard to leave. You do accept things and sometimes can't imagine starting all over again. Not even talking about the money angle which is often a huge reason to stay, it takes something huge to leave - like maybe something like falling in love could be a catalyst.

Some men have a hard time believing their maleness, their masculinity will be acceptable to a new woman. It takes some men a long time to become comfortable living intimately with a partner- not the sex part but the everyday intimacy. So you stay where you feel safe.

I think the poster who mentioned a maternal attraction was onto something.

Gerald McRaney and Delta Burke are still married, aren’t they? He’s no Pierce Brosnan, but Delta and Keely actually look sort of similar.
