Pierce Brosnan shows off his Bond girl wife

On a winter holiday in Hawaii in the company of a curvaceous beauty is as fitting a location for any Bond - past or present.

Which is exactly where Pierce Brosnan, star of Die Another Day and Goldeneye is enjoying his winter break.

Joined by his wife, former journalist Keely Shaye-Smith, the pair splashed around happily in the ocean close to their holiday home on the island of Kauai.

Pierce and Keely let it all hang out as they frolic in the Hawaiian surf during their long holiday break

Full-figured Keely exuded confidence as she joined her husband in the surf.

The 43-year-old has turned her back on the Hollywood size zero trend and is a pin-up for shapely women, even writing fashion tips for American Vogue.

And the mother-of-two has the unconditional backing of her famous husband, who looks as if he may have put on a few pounds himself lately.

Pierce, 54, recently declared his wife "stunning", adding: "I love my wife's curves!" in an American magazine.

And judging by the couple's casual confidence on the beach they show no signs of feeling the strain to conform to Hollywood's ruthless body standards.

Indeed, Keely told Vogue: "I never shy away from colour or my curves.

"I like to play up my neckline and shoulders. If a jacket is pulling in the bust, I might just move the button an inch. But I never hide in baggy clothing."

The pair married in 2001 and are parents to sons Dylan 11, and Paris, aged seven.

The former 007 will next appear in the film version of Mamma Mia, which also stars Meryl Streep and Julie Walters.
