The couple, who married in 2001, have one of showbiz’s enduring relationships, and some of Hollywood’s younger couple’s could well learn a thing or two from them.

Brosnan also has two children Charlotte 36, Christopher 35, from his marriage to first wife Cassandra Harris.

He adopted the siblings after their father died in 1986. Brosnan and Harris had one son together, Sean, 24.

The former 007 is enjoying a break from filming the big screen version of Mamma Mia, which also stars Meryl Streep and Julie Walters.

He will play Sam Carmichael, one of three men rumoured to be the father of lead Amanda Seyfried. Streep will play her mother.

The Irish actor revealed he almost rejected the role because he feared looking silly in front of James Bond replacement Daniel Craig.

Brosnan played 007 in four of the action series' films before turning over his role to Craig for 2006's Casino Royale.

He admitted he was scared his all-singing and dancing role as Sam Carmichael in the 1970s ABBA-inspired film would be too far a departure from his days as the British spy.

He said: "I drew the drapes in my dressing room, looked in the mirror, and there was 007 - only he was getting ready to expose himself to possible ridicule by starring in a movie musical called Mamma Mia!

"One of my daydreams was that I'd be strutting across the parking lot in sequined tights and a cape, and I would bump into Mr. Daniel Craig, looking very Bond-like. It never happened, I'm pleased to say."
