Actor Pierce Brosnan pleads guilty to walking in Yellowstone thermal area

Pierce Brosnan’s Yellowstone Misstep: A Costly Encounter with Nature

Former James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan has acknowledged hiking too near to delicate geothermal areas in a restricted zone of Yellowstone National Park.

This admission comes two months after his initial plea of not guilty to charges of trespassing in the park’s hot springs, which can reach scalding temperatures due to geothermal activity.

A Wyoming court has accepted Brosnan’s guilty plea and imposed a fine exceeding $1,500, which will benefit a non-profit dedicated to the park’s conservation.

Brosnan conceded to breaching park regulations that prohibit pedestrian access to the Mammoth Terraces hot springs on Thursday.

As part of the plea agreement, a secondary charge for ignoring posted closure signs was dismissed.

These infractions are deemed “petty offences/misdemeanours.”

Mammoth Terraces, featuring a range of thermal attractions from erupting geysers to bubbling mud pots with temperatures up to 175F (79.4C), is among the park’s numerous geothermal wonders.

Visitors to national parks are mandated to adhere to established pathways in the vicinity of Mammoth Terraces, with non-compliance subject to penalties including a six-month imprisonment and fines up to $5,000.

Yellowstone attracts millions of visitors annually, with at least 22 fatalities recorded due to injuries from the park’s thermal features.

An image of Brosnan at the renowned park surfaced on an Instagram account satirizing careless tourists, depicting him clad in sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat near the frost-covered springs.

During the time of the incident, Brosnan resided locally for the filming of a new movie.

Beyond his tenure as James Bond, Brosnan is celebrated for his roles in the 1980s television series Remington Steele and prominent parts in movies like Mrs Doubtfire and The Thomas Crown Affair.
