People often call me Mr Bond when we're out and I don't mind a bit. Why would I?" said 86-year-old. Sir Roger also revealed he still owns a number of the sharp suits he wore as Bond, although he joked they don't fit anymore - adding he's grateful he never had to wear "the trunks that Daniel Craig wore. :))

    Roger that!

    It bugs me how his IMDB article states that being 007 is "arguably something he never lived down."

    Why would anyone want to "live down" being 007 ?

    He practically outlasted every other Bond actor & put butts in seats for nearly two decades.

    OH but don't tell that to the Connery purists... ;)

    It is! And Sir Roger seems to understand that most of all, always being very gracious about sharing his experiences on-set. -{

    Sir Roger, is a true gentleman -{ and was a great asset to the series
    Doing interviews and personal appearances. Unlike some actors he
    Knew that part of his job was to help sell the movie. -{

    Sir Roger was as affable as ever in his interview with Sian Williams broadcast today on BBC1's 'Sunday Morning Live'. It's in part a religious affairs programme, so he was reflecting on mortality and his belief that we are created for a purpose. Mentioning his new book 'Last Man Standing' he spoke of memories of friends in the acting profession who have passed on; the interview was recorded shortly before Richard Kiel's death. On another note, he reiterated that Barbara Bach was his favourite Bond girl and he told his anecdote about how, when she was sticking close to him during the special effects with explosions and water, etc., he'd quipped that he was the least safe person to be holding onto since it was Bond that everyone was trying to kill! He claimed to have saved her from drowning on set and that Ringo Starr was eternally grateful!
    Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

    An interview with Sir Roger about his new book( it's very funny ) -{
    By Michael Riedel.
    ..............
    Years later, I was asked to speak at a tribute to Moore at the Players Club. Just before my little speech, Moore introduced himself to me and said, “Say whatever you want to about my acting. It won’t bother me.”
    What I said was this: “I grew up watching Roger Moore as James Bond. In college, I took a film class and we watched Cary Grant in ‘Notorious!’: He was suave, cool, elegant and so well-tailored. He was a Hollywood legend. But I must say, the first time I saw Cary Grant he reminded me of Roger Moore.”
    I think Sir Roger enjoyed my little speech because the next day we met for a drink at Sardi’s. As we were leaving the restaurant, Sir Rog passed a group of middle-aged women at the bar. “He’s still so handsome,” one of them said.
    “Thank you, ladies,” Moore said.
    They swooned -{ :))

    James Bond star Roger Moore enjoys lunch at Coventry pub
    http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/james-bond-star-roger-moore-7928735

    Regulars at a canalside pub were left shaken and stirred after former James Bond actor Roger Moore popped in for a spot of lunch.
    After being left in peace to enjoy his food, a couple of customers finally plucked up the courage to asked for a photograph with the actor, who played the British spy between 1973 and 1985, as he prepared to leave the pub.
    “He is 86 now so when he arrived we just let him get on with it - a couple of people took second glances, but nobody pestered him while he was here.
    “It was only on the way out that a couple of people asked if he would pose for a photo.”

    My nickname was The Duchess. Everything shone. I was such a ponce’ - Roger Moore :D

    I’ve always been flash,’ says Moore, the longest-serving James Bond, in his trademark husky voice. ‘As a young man I couldn’t wait to go to the Locarno Ballroom in Streatham and strut my stuff.’ Today he’s dressed in an Anthony Sinclair blazer, grey slacks and Armani sneakers. He’s staying in a Knightsbridge hotel with his fourth wife, the Scandinavian socialite Kristina ‘Kiki’ Tholstrup. Most of his stories begin or end with the glamorous women he’s kept company over the years, from Grace Kelly to Joan Collins.
    Even as a pupil at Battersea Grammar School, Moore was style-conscious: ‘The uniform included a black cap with white stripes and a red falcon — I always wore it at a slight angle,’ he recalls. He bought his first suit, a grey chalk-stripe, aged 15: ‘I’d just started work as a trainee animator on Wardour Street and I’d seen a suit for £5. It was ghastly. The trousers were wide, like a sailor’s, to the tips of your shoes. My mother was horrified.’

    Moore was called up to the army shortly after the Second World War and quickly rose to second lieutenant. ‘For ten bob the sergeants would press your uniform. I’d turn my trousers inside out, put soap down where the creases should be and turn them over and the crease would stay put. I couldn’t stand the flannel shirts, so I was relieved when I was commissioned and got to wear a soft silk shirt.’ He met the actress Kay Kendall in Hamburg at that time: ‘She nicknamed me The Duchess. Everything shone; my buttons and shoes were shining. I was such a ponce!’ he chuckles.

    In the early 1970s, for his first Bond film, Live and Let Die, Moore was told by producer Albert ‘Cubby’ Broccoli to lose weight and cut his ‘cavalier-like’ hair. ‘I had to diet to the point of starvation and I exercised like mad. Big Daniel Craig-style muscles weren’t in fashion.’

    His early Bond suits were designed by Conduit Street tailor Cyril Castle. Moore’s dark velvet suit and overcoat in Live and Let Die were the envy of Sammy Davis Jr and Frank Sinatra, so he passed on Castle’s number to the Rat Pack. But Moore and Sinatra rarely discussed clothes: ‘Conversation was more along the lines of “Let’s have another drink!” Frank looked good in anything; his style was always very expensive-looking.’

    Moore’s favourite Bond costume was his grey silk suit in The Man with the Golden Gun, though he didn’t get to keep it. The suits he did hold on to are all at his house in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, but ‘I can’t get into them,’ he says. ‘When I finished Bond I was a 34in waist

    :)) Yes, I have a feeling if Roger had have really liked her, she wouldn't have
    ended up with an uncredited role. I'm sure Sir Rog had a bit of pull with
    the producers by that stage ! :)) She obviously needs a litle Publicity. :#
