Charm like that cannot be manufactured. Charm like that is a lost art. He was that way effortlessly.
I won’t lie: I like my James Bond as a RAKE. A sex-pot double-entendre-loving RAKE. Enough with brooding men with dark back-stories. I’ve had enough of them to last a lifetime.
The story above is such a perfect story because you can feel Roger Moore knowing that he had to complete the joke, to create the symmetry necessary, and … to also give a fan a really good story.
It’s model behavior for an Iconic Star.
Love it, love, love it.
I’ve heard comments about he was the suavest James Bond. What a great word, suave.
It’s such a great word and he certainly was it!
Thanks so much for sharing this…sent it to all my Bond fanatic friends and got back many smiles as none had ever read it!
Roger will always be my #1 Bond! I love a dark, brooding man with a past, but I’m happy to leave that job to Batman. Roger Moore is suave and debonair. I didn’t even know those words before I encountered Moore as Bond and/or The Saint. So he literally defined my understanding of those words. And this story, he’s a total class act!
