Pierce Brosnan’s son Christopher Brosnan is stepping out in London.

Christopher, 51, was photographed as he ran errands at a Waitrose grocery store in London on Friday, June 21.

The filmmaker is the biological son of Brosnan's late wife Cassandra and her ex-husband Dermot Harris. Pierce, 71, adopted Christopher and his late older sister, Charlotte, when they were teenagers.

Christopher's mother Cassandra and sister Charlotte died of ovarian cancer decades apart. Cassandra died in 1991 at 43 and Charlotte died in 2013 at the age of 41.

Speaking about Cassandra's 1991 death in a PEOPLE cover story the following year, the Mamma Mia! actor said of Christopher, who was 19 when his mother died, “I can see the pain in Christopher’s eyes, the absence in his heart for his mother."

Christopher studied filmmaking at both UCLA and the New York Film Academy and served on the production crew of many of Pierce's films, including Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough and The Thomas Crown Affair.
