Pierce Brosnan has revealed that he’s paid a loving tribute to his wife in new DC movie Black Adam, and our hearts are melting.

Pierce, 69, who stars as Dr. Fate opposite Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s Adam in the upcoming superhero film, has said the tribute was subtle.

As a result, only eagle-eyed viewers might be able to spot the honour to wife Keely Shaye Smith, who married Pierce more than 20 years ago.

In the movie, out in cinemas next Friday, Pierce has revealed that he wore his wedding ring while shooting the movie.

In addition to the ring, the former James Bond star has revealed that he also wears a watch that was gifted to him by his partner during certain scenes.

Speaking to ET, he said: ‘This is our wedding ring and this is a watch that Keely bought me many years ago with an inscription: Time flies on love’s wings.’

He continued on to say that, as well as being a loving tribute to Keely, the ring and the watch were also suitable for the role of Dr. Fate: ‘I decided to wear it for this character. It seemed appropriate.’

Keely said she was touched by her husband’s tribute to her: ‘I love those emblems, that he took those with him into the superpower, superhero realm.’

Pierce and Keely married in 2001 after meeting in 2004, and they have two sons together – Dylan and Paris.

Speaking about his new character, Pierce said: ‘He’s traversed the ages of time. He’s one of the most powerful sorcerers in the DC comic book world.’
