Former James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan is in hot water after he allegedly trespassed into a restricted area of Yellowstone National Park, known for its geothermal features and wildlife.

According to court documents, Brosnan was cited twice by park rangers on November 1 for violating federal regulations that prohibit visitors from leaving designated walkways and entering closed areas.

The rangers claim that Brosnan ignored signs and barriers and accessed a section of the park that was closed for safety reasons. They also allege that he caused damage to the fragile environment and endangered himself and others by exposing them to potential hazards such as boiling water, steam, and unstable ground.



Brosnan, who played the iconic spy in four films from 1995 to 2002, faces up to six months in jail or a $5000 fine for each citation. He has a court date set for next month in Wyoming.

Brosnan has not commented publicly on the charges, but his fans have expressed their disappointment and disbelief on social media. Some have compared his actions to those of his reckless character in the 1997 film Tomorrow Never Dies, where he drove a car through a hotel lobby and a parking garage.

Yellowstone National Park, which spans parts of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, is the oldest and largest national park in the United States. It attracts millions of visitors every year who come to see its natural wonders such as Old Faithful, Grand Prismatic Spring, and Yellowstone Lake.

The park has strict rules and regulations to protect its resources and wildlife, as well as the safety of its visitors. Violating these rules can result in fines, arrests, or even death. In recent years, several people have been injured or killed by falling into hot springs, being attacked by animals, or getting lost in the wilderness.
