Pierce Brosnan Goes Ape for Charity

November 12, 2008 in Giving Back by Kristen Seymour | 2 comments

I’m going to admit, I have a bit of a crush on Pierce Brosnan. The smile and the accent play a big part, but what I really love is his dedication to environmental causes — activism is sexy, you know?

Pierce was honored for his charity work last Friday at the second annual Jane Goodall Institute Global Leadership Awards Celebration, where he, along with his wife Keely Shay, were presented with the Responsible Activism in Media and Entertainment award. Pierce been a part of the institute’s Roots + Shoots global environmental youth program since it came into being, and, of course, was honored to receive the award.

He credited his wife with making him more environmentally focused, saying, “I have a wonderful wife in Keely, who is very versed in the world of green. This is a partnership now of 16 years and she has educated me on the environment and how to bring up children, whether it’s the food they eat or the food that we grow at home in Hawaii — clean water, good vegetables, and recycling.”

Awww. All that mushy talk just makes me love him more!
