The next James Bond has received words of support from the son of 007 royalty. 

The hunt has been on for a new Bond after Daniel Craig stepped down from the part in 2021, with actor Jacob Elordi the current bookers favorite to assume the role. 

Now Pierce Brosnan's son Paris has sent his well-wishes to whoever ends up nabbing the coveted role - over two decades after his father played the spy in four movies. 

Speaking with The Daily Mail at Clarins' Night of Extra soiree, Paris, 25, weighed in on the search for the actor destined to utter the 'shaken not stirred' line. 

'Wish him the best,' he said.

The son of Pierce and his wife Keely Shaye Smith, Paris has pursued a career in the arts and was recently in London debuting his first exhibition, a new collection titled Collective Energy. 

Paris called his dad 'incredible' as he described the support he has received from his father. 

'He's incredible. We were just in London,' he explained. 'I did my first debut exhibition there, and it was great. 

'He came to support me,' he said. 

Indeed, it is a passion the Bond star raves about.

'So proud of you @paris.brosnan 'COLLECTIVE ENERGY' Thursday, 26th February Clarendon Fine Art Mayfair, UK,' he posted to Instagram at the time. 

'Join LA-based artist Paris Brosnan at the launch of his UK debut to experience his vibrant Art which 'explores human connection, energy & the rhythm of shared experience.'

Paris - whose father is a famous actor and mother a documentary filmmaker - also has a big heart that redefines the nepo baby stereotype. 

Paris worked with the World Food Program during a trip to Sri Lanka with Clarins in what he called 'an incredible experience.'

While there, he worked with Lauren Bush, the granddaughter of president George H.W. Bush, and her FEED Project. 

'I love Clarins. I started working with them almost like seven, eight years ago now, and we went on a trip to Sri Lanka,' he told The Daily Mail.

'We did a work with the World Food Program, and Lauren Bush, Lauren from FEED, and it was an incredible trip.'

'An incredible experience with the World Food Program,' he added. 

It's another indication of how Paris has been carving his own path outside of Hollywood. 

His artworks, mysterious and unique, flood his Instagram account - and show the passion he has for the craft. 

While Paris has dabbled in acting - and has a role coming up - Brosnan previously revealed he had dissuaded his children from following in his footsteps.  

'Just because it is f***ing hard work,' Pierce told GQ in 2022. 'It's a cross to bear. You're constructing and destroying yourself.'
