What a wonderful interveiw with roger Moore fascinating listening about his likes and dislikes his career wonderful I’ve loved him since the age of 11 years old he shared Sam’s hobbies as me and I’d love to sing to such a handsome man thankyou so much ❤️😊🙏
A lot of actors with such good looks, success and wealth become incredibly vain and arrogant, but you can tell the way Roger talks about himself and his career that he remained grounded and a gentleman through and through.
This is wonderful! Hus daughter Deborah said that, in his final years, he said that he just wanted to keep living because he enjoyed life. I get this impression from this interview, with an excellent interviewer. I could've listened to them talk for hours. Roger Moore could've turned his hand to almost anything. I'll list some of the things he did: professional cartoonist, model, soldier, actor, stage manager, director, producer, clithes designer, publisher, director of Faberge, singer (eventually), animal rights activist, UNICEF goodwill ambassador, narrator, probably many other roles. On top of that he loved horse riding, swimming, playing guitar, drawing, painting. If your scour RU-vid, you can find some interviews like this where he feels comfortable enough to talk about his approach to acting and directing, what the character is about. He's not a wooden actor like people think he is. I just find it incredible how someone could be so handsome and tall and yet be intelligent, caring, funny, self-aware, driven. He's an inspiration. I think part of that is down to him being a cockney from humble origins who developed a different way of speaking to give a different impression. But you can't take a grounded lad out of Stockwell. Also, the accent he created was right on the money: refined, well-spoken, but never intimidating or pretentious. He was the real deal. First film in 1948, and he was still James Bond in 1985!!
What a remarkable snapshot of Roger Moore in his mid thirties talking frankly about his life. He was not a conceited person and was well aware of his limitations but his likeable personality and good looks gave him an opportunity to enjoy a very fulfilling life. Now sadly passed but will always be remembered fondly.
Being a huge saint fan, i owned and drove the same car-the volvo P1800 in the 90's. Great memories. And this-this is an amazing video!! Roger owned and drove his P1800 into work at Elstree studios every day when he was making the saint-and then of course, was seen driving it in the series. These days i find myself living in the same North London area that Roger lived in when he first started making the saint. I regulaly drive to an area close to Elstree and although im now in a more modern sports car, i cant help thinking a bout Rog, on these roads on his way to be the very famous Simon Templar. 💘🌷✌
Truly elegant! He glides everything seems so natural and simple with him. He's certainly not perfect, but he's definitely out of the ordinary and commands respect. Thank you very much for sharing this. Best regards
This was a real treat to see Roger during his 'Saint' years being interviewed whilst driving his own car. He was such a handsome gentleman. I loved that drawing he did of the interviewer. I wonder if the guy kept it. Being a 'Moore' fan all of my life I just want to thank you for posting this remarkable nostalgic interview.
Glad you enjoyed, thanks for the feedback, it is worth looking for hours across the european TV channels archives and one occasionaly stumbles upon this kind of gem. Please check the dedicated playlist on my channel, there's more 🙂
For those Bruxellophiles out there ...interesting to see Sir Roger driving up The Avenue Louise to the Bois De la Cambre where he stops at a Café still there today! Class act!
Roger Moore was such a modest man, I loved the saint, I used to think I would emulate this great actor,when I grew up, But now at 65, I think Iv'e left it too late.😃
Thank you very much, I located this after hours of searching keywords in the archives of different european TV channels, this sis from the Belgium television. Have a look at my playlist on my channel, there's a bunch of other rare or exclusive videos, notably my "A persuader in Switzerland" chronicle series.
Wow! An excellent treasure from the archives! Merci bien! The car is not the vehicle that appeared in The Saint as it is left-hand drive. That being said, he once explained how Volvo would provide him with a car whereever in the world he would go. Myself, I would not want to drive an identical car associated with my work, especially if I were a world-famous actor! Perhaps a dark Volvo saloon would have been more discrete? Or perhaps this was part of a publicity event in Paris, so he needed the 1800S as part of the promotion. Very interesting.
@@MultiElvisp Thank you. I noticed the road tunnels, the driving on the right, and of course the interview partially conducted in French. I automatically assumed Paris. Yes, Switzerland makes sense. I see a primarily German vehicles on the roads. At different periods in his life, he gives different answers, and I have never heard anything so in depth from him at this time. For instance, I never heard him share how he would rather direct than act. I know he started directing episodes of "The Saint" in 1964, and perhaps he enjoyed it so much because it was a different challenge. His kindness was amazing throughout his life, and it is lovely to hear how much he appreciates children. I know he treated is first wife's son like his own, his own children adore him, and later his work for UNICEF.
@@manofthehour6856 Thank you for this in-depth review, appreciating the content and noticing all these details ! Yes what an adorable gentleman and a kind heart, as a lady recently told me as she was going down the steps of the hotel de Paris in Montecarlo to her car. She knew him there.
Roger Moore was amazingly likeable - such a self-effacing personality. One of the best interviews with him that I've seen - can't believe he describes his acting as "lousy"!
Roger Moore was a British icon he stood for British. He was a great guy and i loved his laid back humour and he liked to use innuendos even in his James Bond character. Much missed
