James Bond star Pierce Brosnan has found himself in hot water after allegedly straying into an off-limits thermal area in a part of a famous US national park.<\/p>\n
The Irish actor has been charged with stepping out of bounds at Mammoth Terraces, in the northern part of Yellowstone National Park near the Wyoming-Montana border, last month, prosecutors have said.<\/p>\n
The 70-year-old could be jailed, fined or banned when he appears in the courtroom of the world’s oldest national park next month.<\/p>\n

The 007 star, from Drogheda in County Louth, was visiting Yellowstone for pleasure rather than for movie work, the US Attorney’s Office for Wyoming said.<\/p>\n
Mammoth Terraces, a scenic spot of mineral-encrusted hot springs bubbling from a hillside, is one of the hundreds of thermal features in the park.<\/p>\n

Millions visit the park every year, enjoying spouting geysers and gurgling mud pots, where water can be at or near boiling point.<\/p>\n
Leaving the designated areas can be dangerous, as people are badly burned every year after ignoring warnings not to stray off the trail.<\/p>\n
