Paris Brosnan poses with Lauren Bush Lauren during the FEED Supper in partnership with Clarins at his home in Malibu, Calif.
Held last week, the 18-year-old filmmaker and his family – including parents Pierce and Keely Shaye Brosnan – opened their home for the dinner event, and welcomed 60 guests, who had the opportunity to directly connect with FEED founder Lauren and help her spread the words.
“In every culture food connects us. It is a sign of hospitality, of warmth of love and tradition. Sharing a meal together for such a great cause was an honor,” Paris shared about the event. “Coming from where I do – I never had to worry about where my next meal would come from and I feel very lucky in that respect.”
FEED has a simple goal: to end hunger by selling products with a set donation built in to the price. Anyone can sign up to host an event that raises meals, which are then donated to kids around the world.
Just last week, the Supper donations were combined with the ClarinsUSA.com donations, and they helped to provide over 10,000 school meals for children.

The 18-year-old filmmaker, who is the son of Pierce Brosnan, traveled to the small island nation to shoot a short film and a series of photographs that capture the ongoing work being done in Sri Lanka by the UN World Food Programme (WFP), which is supported by Clarins and FEED.
If you don’t know, Clarins has been partnering with FEED – a social impact-driven brand founded by Lauren Bush Lauren – to deliver high-quality, nutritious food into the hands of children around the world.
WFP connects local farmers with its school meals program that help under-nourished students reach their full potential, both mentally and physically. In turn, those farmers are able to employ their neighbors, including many women.
“Traveling to Sri Lanka was an amazing opportunity for a young filmmaker,” Paris shared in a statement about the trip. “I was drawn to Clarins and FEED’s mission to help solve childhood hunger through school feeding. This school meals program gives children a sense of belonging, community, and an education.”
He added, “This program is a powerful way to connect with children and to help them thrive. We not only visited schools, but also local farms. One of the most impressive aspects of this partnership is that local farmers are funded to grow rice to feed schoolchildren, which supports the local economy. I feel inspired to develop more socially relevant projects utilizing the resources I have and to create a platform that gives back to our global community.”
