Eloquent, suave, a twinkle in the eye, the self-deprecating humour, and for all that, he and Sir Sean are still good friends. Sir Roger Moore is one of those people who define being English. People who, when they are asked why they have not yet written their autobiographies (a bit of a gravy train), reply "I didn't want to embarrass or hurt anyone". He doesn't need the money, or the publicity. A gentleman.
My dad told me a story. When he was in the Army he was in an Island that Roger was filming on. On shore leave they were in a bar and in comes Roger. As soon as he realised they were british squadies he came over. My dad told me he was funny as hell as bought their drinks all night long.
J Williams I heard that on set the director would give him 15 minutes at the start of each day to just let go and tell his jokes and gags. He’d have everyone in stitches at the start of every day!
He is one of only a few famous people I'd love to meet. He seems to be a genuinely nice man. Whenever I've seen him in interviews he is always just so down to earth and and not at all up his own **** like so many famous people who think they are above everyone else just cause they're famous (like another bond actor whos name I won't mention). Roger - you are a legend, a gentleman and still devilishly handsome.
A great English gentleman, someone Britain can be proud of, I wish we had more like him. For me he was The Saint, manly, clever and all with such style😇
Moore was a SUPERB Bond - superb! I have just watched all 22 on blu ray, and Skyfall at cinema! All actors brought something to the role. Connery is not the best - he is great - but just the first. Moore rocks!
There will never ever be another man like Sir Roger Moore. He had the looks he was just so handsome and never lost his looks and charm. He was my favourite bond and I still watch his films today. Heaven gained a true saint as we lost a legend ❤❤❤❤❤❤
My favourite Bond is Sean Connery, but I still think Roger Moore is great! He wasn't "too old" to play Bond, I mean come on, he was much better than Daniel Craig or any other.
@SinAutor Of course not everyone that has played bond has played bond in there own way.You just have to have that cool side about you. As long as you have that your fine.
@paul266dog that's a horrible thought! but, sadly, true. I think when Alan Rickman and Richrad Curtis meet the King of Light Entertainment I the sky, I'll cry..
hes actually the worst James Bond ever, he just doesnt compare to Connery, Lazenby or Craig, actors who brought real subtlety and manliness to the role of Bond. Moore just raised his eyebrow a lot and gave pithy one liners.
Because, as he rightly pointed out, he played it as a comedy - a secret agent who EVERY bartender in the world knows his drink order on sight? He saved the franchise in the era of Star Wars & Smokey & the Bandit.
