Former James Bond star Pierce Brosnan was shaken and stirred when he discovered wife Keely Shaye Smith’s desire for slenderizing liposuction to mark her recent birthday.
The handsome actor “threw a fit,” an insider told The National ENQUIRER. “Pierce told Keely he loves her just the way she is — flaws and all. In fact, he said he’d break up with Keely if she ever went under the knife.”
As The ENQUIRER revealed, Pierce remains completely besotted with his bride, though once-svelte TV journalist Keely, now 52, has gained 75 pounds since they met in 1994.
Married in 2001, the couple have two sons, Dylan, 18, and Paris, 14.
Pierce, 62, recently declared his opposition to plastic surgery and Botox.
Asked if he’d ever try cosmetic surgery, Pierce said, “Good heavens, no.”
But Keely’s feelings were vastly different — especially after several attempts to diet and lose weight ended in failure.
“Keely and Pierce enjoy decadent romantic meals, dining on gourmet pasta dishes and rich desserts,” said a source. “They’re both foodies, but Keely gets upset because she packs on pounds while Pierce never does.”
With her husband looking fit and still very much in demand in Hollywood, Keely “worries that Pierce’s eye will wander — especially when he’s working with young, hot actresses.”
Keely “never bounced back after her pregnancies,” added the source. “She knows lipo would be a quick fix, and she’s contemplated doing it. There’s definitely pressure to lose weight. But Pierce won’t have it.
“He also believes she’s a great role model, proving that women don’t need to be sickly skinny in order to radiate beauty.”
