Keely Shaye Smith’s Environmentalism

As an environmental advocate, Smith was lauded for her groundbreaking work. This avid gardener has won two Genesis Awards and a Special Achievement Award at the 1991 Environmental Film Festival.

Additionally, her advocacy for environmental causes has won her honors by Women in Film, the Natural Resources Defense Council, EMA, Earth Communications Office, Heal the Bay, Oceana, Senator Barbara Boxer, Malibu Times, and Organic Style magazine.

Both Smith and Brosnan are passionate about the environment. Their work in clean air and water campaigns, along with advocating ecological preservation and opposing environmentally damaging projects, was honored at the Jane Goodall Global Leadership Awards.

From 1995 to 2000, they worked with the Natural Resources Defense Council and the International Fund for Animal Welfare. They wanted to stop a proposed salt factory from being built at Laguna San Ignacio, Baja California Sur, Mexico, the last untouched breeding ground of the pacific gray whale.

They also successfully opposed the building of a natural gas plant off the Malibu coast.

The couple gave the media access to their wedding reception at Ballintubber Abbey for €463,000. They donated the money to build schools in Tibet. Their fairytale-like wedding pictures made the cover of Hello magazine.

Pierce Brosnan Loves His Wife’s Curves

Smith was once a glamour model and was known for her svelte figure when she stepped on the red carpet alongside Brosnan. She was rocking the post-baby bod in a wedding dress (that now gives us Kate Middleton vibes) six months after giving birth to Paris.

But over the years, celeb watchers have noticed her steady weight gain. Nosy bodies and critics have speculated the reasons for her increasing weight and made jabs at her.

The most vicious remark compared her to the plump, yet malicious, 007 villain, Goldfinger, among other Bond comparisons.
But this couple pays no heed to them.

In fact, Smith still rocks a bikini with panache while paparazzi snap away. And we’re sure that confidence comes from being married to the wonderful man who adores her, extra pounds and all.

According to the couple’s friends, Brosnan hates the nasty comments about Keely Shaye Smith’s weight. Curvy or not, he loves her nonetheless. And when she allegedly considered liposuction, Brosnan threatened her with divorce to stop her.

Sources say that Smith follows a healthy lifestyle to keep her weight in check. But her priorities are her family and activism.

Brosnan has spoken about their blissful marriage several times and said that he loves Smith’s “vitality, her passion.”

“She has this strength that I wouldn’t be able to live without. When Keely looks at me, I go weak,” gushed Pierce Brosnan.
