Pierce Brosnan fans have hit out at a vile troll who shared comparison snaps of the star with his wife Keely Shaye Smith to act as a 'reminder to avoid marriage'.
The James Bond star, 72, has been married to journalist Keely since 2001 following his wife of 11 years Cassandra Harris's death from cancer in 1991.
The couple are often deemed one of Hollywood's great love stories, with their lengthy love defying the lore of short-lived romances, however on Sunday a vile X user claimed the couple showed marriage should be 'avoided'.
The comment was made alongside images of the couple on the red carpet at the Governers Ball for the Academy Awards in 1996 alongside a snap of the duo posing at the Mamma Mia! premiere in 2008.
Swarming with defensive messages, many insisted they were an advert for true love, with one user stating: 'I don't get some men on X devotion to degrade Brosnan's wife. They're both happy, aging gracefully, and she was & is absolutely gorgeous.'
