RIP 007
end of an era. where now the quintessential English gent?
he was also brilliant as Lord Brett Sinclair in the Persuaders and as The Saint.
Minister of Defence: “Bond! What do you think you’re doing?”
Bond: “Keeping the British end up, sir.”
@Ó Connmhaigh: also ” The Man Who Haunted Himself” (1970) – one of his best (and least known) film roles
@Ó Connmhaigh:
In one of Sir Roger’s films, “Moonraker”, which had a sci-fi theme, Bond was, according to Q, “attempting re-entry”.
@Ó Connmhaigh: That anal sex gag at the end of Kingsmen was written as a nod nod wink wink to Roger Moore’s little quips.
He was, by far, the star of the show in Boat Trip
@Ó Connmhaigh: James Bond (to horse trainer assasin): “Well my dear, I take it you spend quite a lot of time in the saddle.” Jenny Flex: “Yes, I love an early morning ride.” James Bond: “Well, I’m an early riser myself.”
RIP 007
@Ó Connmhaigh: Don’t forget The Cannonball Run!
The James Bond I grew up watching. Always enjoyed his movies. RIP
A great actor ,made bond his own ,gods speed
St Peter:
“Ahh Mr Bond, We’ve been expecting you.”
A real loss. Always going to have brilliant memories of his Bond Movies.
Moore, Roger Moore RIP
A real charmer and a gent. Watched his most recent Late Late show in awe of just how classy he was, it was like Bond never left him.
Rip
James Bond, The Saint, The Persuaders …. the end of an era. He was a good guy.
@Ricardo Shillyshally: And “The Cannonball Run”.
Some great movies still watchable today from
He was the epitome of the perfect English Gentleman. Good looks and charm in spades.He was a good actor and a better ambassador for UNICEF. He leaves a great legacy after a long life. No one can ask for more.
RIP. He was a fantastic actor & provided so many of us with wonderful memories with his fantastic performances. Thank you Roger x
The bond i most remember growing up, serious eye brow acting, big shame :(
@Gareth Miskelly: I think his eyebrow was nominated for a supporting actor role.
Some might say not the best bond but he was my favourite
He was a good age..
R.I.P
The best of the Bond’s RIP007… LOVED YOU’RE TALENT…
RIP Roger.
Saw Live and Let Die on opening week in Dublin when a youth and fell in love with a beauty from The next row.
Kissed her full on the lips in the foyer and then karate chopped her on the back if the neck and ran to Connolly to catch the Enterprise to Beal Feirste.
Those were the days.
@Brendan McLaughlin: was the enterprise still running in those days? Must have been a fraught journey in the 80′s!
@An_Beal_Bocht: Yeah it was though infrequently. Thats why I recall it so well. It was a big deal to travel down to see it, but it was heaven on earth and our shoulders dropped the second the brits got off the train and we crossed the border. Still a lot less hassle than going into my own city centre though.
@Brendan McLaughlin: I saw For your Eyes Only when it came out
I think it was the best Bond movie he starred in
This was a time when no one had a bob and having a Range Rover meant mega bucks .
I guess that rare photograph of Sean Connery signed by Roger Moore is worth a lot more than 150 dollars now. RIP.
@Kevin De Groot: ha ha
Very sad news,great actor,great bond!
RIP Mr Bond.
My favourite bond of all.. R.I.P.
Read his autobiography a couple of months ago – was very funny and entertaining – came across as a top bloke
A nice man
The best Bond for the humorous quips , only he could deliver them with such accuracy and aristocratic demeanour ! – RIP Roger !
A brilliant actor. R.I.P.
His eyebrows deserved an Oscar of their own….an absoulute gent on an off the screen….could have basked in his wealth but was a fantastic humanitarian and UNICEF ambassador before it was ”cool” for celebs to do so….
Remember his Spitting Image puppet?
A class act. The Saint was one of the first TV shows I remember watching as a nipper, and I grew up with him as 007. Even after James Bond, his appearances on chat shows were always worth a watch. RIP Sir.
RIP a true gentleman
Respect to the ‘Brow….rest in peace..both Saint and Bond…
My favourite actor and I’m very sad to hear this. A real gent and did some wonderful charity work also. I will miss u Roger
A View To A Kill. My favourite Bond film. Great show.
Usual form of transport Q!
Alas he’ll Roger no more!
RIP 007
Rest in Peace 007/The Saint and many more
Loved his Bond movies. Outopussy definitely my favourite Bond film.
RIP
No!
RIP – he’s in 00 heaven now.
@TehJurolan: He might make a miraculous reappearance -it wouldn’t be the first time.
Goodbye, Mr Bond
My favourite Bond. RIP
First Bond film I saw in the cinema was For Your Eyes Only, and still my favourite of his.
A true legend of tHe screen. RIP Mr Bond
Remember him back when TV was black and white. He played Ivanhoe, before he went onnto become The Saint. Great memiries of a very fine actor.
RIP my favourite Bond.
Classy Bond but hardly a great actor! He said himself his career was 99% luck. Fabulous raconteur.
@sean o’dhubhghaill: true. He was one of the greatest actors at acting like and actor.
Yet another of Hollywood’s true gentlemen is sadly gone to the great sliver screen in the sky.
Another chunk of my childhood gone
I thought he was great in Indiana Jones and the last crusade
@John O’Shea:
It wasn’t him who played Indiana Jones’s dad – it was Sean Connery!
Such a pity he was too late for his Alan Partridge interview all those years ago.
R I P Roger never took himself too seriously & took the piss out of Bond role
To me he was the quintessential Bond
He hadn’t a gorilla physique yet could kill you quite easily with no remorse
Cool, calm and collected
Loved him in Fair City
Rest in peace Mr Bond
He was a great Bond. RIP.
What a great actor. R.I.P Sir Roger Moore
RIP Roger, you blew my mind when I was a boy. The best Bond. X
What an absolutely shit 24 hours
Best James Bond ever
F*cking hell can this day get any worse.
@4OYards: My exact thought when I read this.
Legend
Rip
Roger Moore was a Saint
RIP roger moore.
Rip Simon templar aka the Saint
Rip 007
