Pierce Brosnan could face a €4,500 ($5,000) fine or maybe even jail time after being ‘caught wandering’ into a protected national park.
The James Bond actor is accused of ‘breaking rules’ at Yellowstone National Park, USA, and has already been given a court date in Wyoming.
He’s been ‘cited twice’ for allegedly ‘venturing off the permitted path, attempting to get a closer look at thermals in the Mammoth Terraces’.
He will reportedly appear in the courtroom on January 23 next year following the alleged violations on November 1 earlier this year. Brosnan, 70, has been charged with Foot Travel in a Thermal Area and Closure Violation, according to court documents, per MailOnline.

The outlet reports that Pierce is due to appear before U.S. Magistrate Judge Stephanie Hambrick next month. Federal rules say national park visitors must stay on designated walkways. Venturing off the boardwalk is punishable by up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $5,000.
It was earlier in November that the iconic Irish actor was spotted out and about after showcasing his figure during a trip to the beach recently. He was spotted out in Malibu, California, where he appeared to be out shopping in the community, where he’s understood to live with his family.
He was seen wearing a black shirt which offered a glimpse of what seemed to be a white vest underneath. Pierce’s outfit also included dark trousers and a pair of brown shoes. He accessorised the look with a pair of black sunglasses.
Pierce – who has appeared in films like Mrs. Doubtfire (1993) and Mamma Mia! (2008) over the course of his career – was photographed during the outing. He was seen carrying a paper bag around whilst walking through the community.
It came just days after the actor showcased his figure while at the coast in Malibu earlier that month. Pierce was spotted soaking up the sun as he took a stroll on a beach recently, with him having also been seen cycling in the area.
Pierce is best known for having played the lead role in the James Bond film series from 1995 to 2002. He made his debut in GoldenEye (1995), before appearing in Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) and The World Is Not Enough (1999). His stint in the role concluded with Die Another Day (2002).
Pierce has since been in numerous films including Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018) and Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020).
His recent credits include Cinderella (2021), Black Adam (2022) and The Out-Laws (2023). He’s also set to appear in the upcoming film Fast Charlie (2023).
