But last week the father and son were spotted together taking a trip to Notting Hill for a family dinner.
The duo were joined by Pierce’s son, model Dylan Brosnan, 28, at celebrity hotspot Dorian.
Snaps of Pierce were taken as he left the upscale eatery with Christopher walking in front of him, and they both appeared to be in good spirits.
The Irish actor and film producer wore a black leather jacket over the top of a dark turtleneck to fend off the cool evening temperatures.

He finished the look off with some lacquered dress shoes and smart trousers, stepping out of the restaurant as a member of staff held the door for him.
Meanwhile, Christopher opted to wear a long brown military-style coat, buttoned over a zipped-up sweater.
His statement glasses glowed under the restaurant’s lighting as he made his way outdoors.
Dylan was also pictured, wearing a pair of denim jeans, smart laced shoes and a navy jacket.
He kept his hands in his pockets while crossing the street with his family, as they all chatted.
Pierce reportedly found his decision to cut ties with Christopher heartbreaking, but believed it was necessary to help his son break his drug habit.
Of their meeting, a source told The Mirror: “They both looked happy and relaxed while sitting down with one of Brosnan’s other sons Dylan.
“Pierce and Christopher’s problems have been well documented.
“But it seems they’ve managed to put them behind them.
“It was really nice to see them together.”

Christopher battled a cocaine and heroin addiction, dating back to the 2000s.
In 2005, Pierce came to the decision to cut ties with his son, after his addiction had gotten so bad it saw him fall into a coma from an overdose.
Speaking to Playboy at the time about having hope for his son’s recovery, Pierce shared: “Christopher is still very lost. Shockingly so. I know where he is, but he’s having a hard life.
“I can only have strong faith and believe he will recover.
“He has tested everybody in this family but none more so than himself.
“He knows how to get out. He doesn’t want to.”
Pierce came to adopt Christopher after meeting his mother, actress Cassandra Harris, at the house of a mutual friend back in 1977.
She was married to Dermot Harris at the time – brother of the late Harry Potter star Richard Harris – with whom she shared two children: Chris and his older sister, Charlotte.
The couple went on to marry, and in 1986 when Dermot passed away Pierce adopted the two children so they would have a father figure.
Just one year after Dermot’s passing, Cassie was diagnosed with an aggressive form of ovarian cancer, which resulted in her passing a few years later in 1991.
Christopher ended up having his own brush with TV fame, appearing on season two of Love Island in 2005.
During his Islander days, he was coupled up with model and socialite Lady Victoria Hervey.

After Victoria’s exit from the villa, Christopher partnered up with English model Sophie Anderton, with whom he left the villa.
The pair finished in fourth place, though their romance was not meant to be.
