Saturday, July 17, 2004Brosnan junior in rehab
By GARY O’SHEATHE son of 007 star Pierce Brosnan checked into rehab on Friday — days after his arrest over mobile phone thefts at a celebrity haunt.
Christopher Brosnan, 34, was chauffeur driven to the £500-a-day clinic.
He emerged from a people carrier with sister Charlotte and entered Life Works in Old Woking, Surrey.
Film boss Christopher can now expect to join yoga and meditation classes with up to 23 other people as they battle their demons.
He has had a well-known problem with drugs and booze for years and in 2002 nearly died after overdosing on dance drug GHB.
Christopher was arrested at trendy Chinawhite nightclub in London’s West End on Wednesday on suspicion of handling stolen phones.
Cops then realised he had not answered bail after he was held over an alleged bag theft at Victoria coach station in April. Christopher, who has given a DNA sample, is due back at Kennington police station in August.
Pierce, 51, adopted Christopher and Charlotte, 30, after wedding their mum Cassandra Harris. She died of cancer in 1991.
The actor, who lives in Los Angeles with second wife Keely Shaye Smith, has worked alongside Christopher on Bond movies including The World Is Not Enough.
