Being a child of the 70s Roger Moore was 'my' Bond. I finally got to see him in person on an 'In conversation' tour he did less than a year before he sadly passed. Even in his late eighties he was still as charming, suave and charismatic as you'd hoped him to be. But the thing that stuck with me the most from that night was the very last thing he said to the audience - "Please just be kind to one another." After an incredible life of movies, wealth & fame what a beautiful thing to say...
Thank you very much for this comment. Roger was also "my" Bond, and he was fantastic in every way. I likewise had the good fortune of seeing him on two of his "spoken word" tours, once circa 2003, and again at what sadly proved to be his final public appearance. What a brilliant, talented, humble, witty and charming gentleman he was. I am currently working my way through all episodes of "The Saint" (again), and I noticed what he mentioned here about directing, as he did with "The Persuaders", too.
Marvelous. He was MY Bond as well and this was such a comforting heartwarming thing to read. One of my fondest memories was watching ABC's Saturday Night Movies when it was a Bond film. I'd get so excited to see Moore, cuz he was the Bond I knew and whenever they showed a Connery, I'd get upset. I remember one time my dad asking me when I was like 6 years old "What's wrong?" And I said "That's not James Bond! I want James Bond!!" My dad answered "That's Sean Connery. That's THE REAL James Bond." I got SO upset when he said that!! LMAO I mean I even had the MOONRAKER trading cards as a kid!! Moore WAS my James Bond! RIP Sir Roger.💯❤️
@@lloydkline6946 The 2 ultimate legends of Bond, I love Roger's Bond though more but having said that Sean played some great ones too not forgetting From Russia with love, oh man why do we always have to lose such wonderful people and true gentleman
I'm not sure I've ever seen an interview (irrespective of the length and style) where Sir Roger is anything other than warm, friendly, intelligent, suave and sophisticated....oh, not forgetting self-deprecating. What an absolute class act and sorely, sorely missed
I think we need a new cheeky chap like Roger for the new bond. People miss his wit and one liners. We all thought Sean was fantastic but I think there is a growing support for how Roger brought a bit of fun to the part.
He definitely added a lot of charm, along with tongue and cheek to his Bond, and it did help to make Bond relevant throughout the 70's and early 80's. Nobody does it better than Sir Roger Moore. Thank you for the memories.
To really get to know what kind of person Sir Roger Moore was, you don’t watch interviews with the man himself, as a lot of his interviews are very tongue in cheek and he can be quite self depreciating. You watch Interviews of the people who worked with him. A classic example is ‘The Morning After’ documentary on the series The Persuaders. No one has a bad word to say about him. They say how generous an actor he was and more importantly, how warm and generous a human being he was. In that documentary, it becomes very clear very quickly that everyone hated Tony Curtis and everyone loved Roger Moore. His work for UNICEF was what he was most proud of. RIP Sir Roger George Moore KBE. You place in heaven was assured.
Watching interviews with Sir Roger always feel like they'd interview Bond himself. He basically played himself and the Bond-role fitted so well with him.
My dad brought me to see The spy who loved me when I was eight years old....hooked on Bond ever since, Roger Moore WAS my role model, have a good sense of humour, dress well, keep yourself well groomed and take everything with a pinch of salt

Unfortunately, in the latest bond it looks like Q branch has trained a Bonobo to be a OO operative.
Roger Moore is so self effacing! Such a gent. I had the pleasure of attending "An Evening With Roger Moore" just before he passed. It was an incredible evening.
Style has nothing to do with the cut of a good suit, it's what's behind the lining that matters, and Sir Roger had it in spades. A very kind man, so grateful for and so generous with his success. A great loss, but an eternal inspiration for those two qualities alone.
@@oleksandrtichomirof3190 ye I just seen live and let die at cinema was very enjoyable , they showing them again at the mo vue and odeon and maybe some others for 60 years of bond
@@simonp7095 I suggest, it was a great experience. If only these films were showed in my country, in Ukraine. I will visit almost every of Roger's films.
From my point of view, Roger Moore was the only guy who has all types of qualities being the most classical Bond. Despite all his Bond movies, he did actually play how an Englishman protrayed Bond in his generation. There were some critics that Roger Moore should play the role earlier in 1960s. However, the way I see things, Roger Moore was totally matured to play the role when he was at the age of 46~47. He completely showed how an Englishman was in his movies. His elegant British accent, graceful movements and his high sense of humour. All of them made him a successful Bond
I totally agree. I always think that only Moore could've played the scene in Live and Let Die when he slowly walks across the room and drops the twisted PPK in the bin and says "funny how the least little thing amuses him". That could've only been played by an Englishman of Roger's ilk.
Being a Georgia native, I love seeing this interview with Sir Roger Moore in Atlanta and discussing my favorite of his Bond pictures, The Spy Who Loved Me. As always, his charming self deprecating sense of humor is enduring. Love the shout out to Ken Adam as well. One of my cinematic heroes. Thank you very much for sharing this :).
Growing up in the 70s meant knowing every second summer you were going to get a Bond movie. I remember the anticipation for Moonraker being almost unbearable, more than a fan could take. Thank you dear Roger for an unforgettable childhood. Such a kind and generous man you were❤️
As much as most of us admire Sean Connery, Roger Moore was the most natural Bond character and one which sticks in the mind the most as James Bond. A friend of mine actually knew and said he was on of the kindest guys and never judged others
Excellent interviewer. He's seriously asking about the production and Roger's acting, and the setting is relaxed enough for Roger to get the self-deprecating humour out of the way early, and then explain his acting technique and considerations about the characters he plays without feeling self-conscious or embarrassed. This is rare: an interviewer giving Roger the opportunity and respect for him to speak about his craft. He was a fine actor and more versatile than he is given credit for.
Saw an interview where Roger said that 'For your eyes only' (1981) was supposed to be his last Bond movie. He had no more contractual obligation back then. Because they couldn't find an adequate replacement, they persuaded him to do two more Bonds, so he accepted, although in hindsight he felt he was a bit too old, especially when doing the love scenes with young actresses.
@@danielfisch389 James Brolin was appointed for Octopussy. Roger changed his mind pronto. Cubby Brocoli preferred his established Bond up against Connery's comeback & Brolin stepped aside. After the success of Octopussy, he quickly signed up for AVTAK. It was agreed it would be his last. Cubby Brocoli signed up oscar winner Christopher Walken as a tribute.
@@adamcollins915 indeed Brolin was cast, but that didn't change Moore's mind to return. Here is what happened: ultimateclassicrock.com/james-brolin-octopussy/
@@danielfisch389 Roger first quit after Moonraker. After hearing Cubby Brocoli had been testing James Brolin. He was lucky he signed a 3 picture deal at the start. TMWTGG had not been successful in 1974. Cubby Brocoli also wanted his Bond actors to make their other films good. Saying he believed it does make a difference. Roger had made a couple of good films & a couple of duds prior to TSWLM.
The wild geese, a classic and one of my favourites, Sir Roger was on form in that film with his cheeky grin and humour, an absolute legend . RIP Mr Bond
James Bond, Lord Sinclair, Simon Templar, Maverik and Ffolkes, they are true Roger Moore. He just walks like a humble King, speaks graciously as if he is there to serve his people.
I saw his live show 18 months before he died. Such a lovely man who never took himself too seriously. The quintessential English gentleman is a rare breed now but he was definitely it.
I met Sir Roger in Belfast when he was doing his Moore on Tour in 2016 and he was brilliant, a few of us met him before the show and true to form had time for everyone with a joke and a smile and happy to talk to about anything you asked him, a gentleman and they just don't make them like Roger Moore anymore.
I’m here tonight after hearing of the sad passing of Sean Connery. I don’t usually get emotional over celebrities dying... the three I have broken my heart over though are Sean Connery, hearing of his passing today, Christopher Reeve, as I’m a huge Superman Reeve era fan.... & finally this amazing man! All three were, are & indeed always will be heroes of mine!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Loved Roger Moore. His interviews were always Interesting. Always classy and a Gentleman. And also he was a better actor than he was given credit for. Loved him as James Bond and the Saint 😊😍👍
One of the best memories I have was sneaking in to my local Odeon cinema and watching this film upon release in 1977 (I was 7yrs old at the time). Great movie, loved Roger and the cast, with a must have Lotus and what a soundtrack!!!
This is one of the greatest persons ever. Such a great actor and a person with a such humor and humility. There is so much irony and charm in his conversations. So much respect for Sir Roger.
Saw my first Roger Moore film when I was 13. The Spy Who Loved Me. I'm 58 and I still try to emulate him. Sir Rog should have received a percentage for every Blazer I've ever bought, because every time I've done so has been in the hopes of looking like him a bit.
I always liked Roger as Bond and any other, articulate, soft spoken perhaps a true gentleman. But this interview is fabulous just because of Jim, great job Whaley
A great man. A great personality. A great actor. Class, style and integrity. They don´t make 'em like Sir Roger Moore and/or Sir Sean Connery anymore. Nor will they ever. Truly missed. The world is not as fun without Sir Roger and Sir Sean in it. A got a lump in my throat watching this, since it brought back fond memories of my childhood. Rest In Peace, Sir Roger Moore...
@@joanne26 Greetings Joanne. I second your opinion - ay! I also believe they were well read. Real literature and today´s leftist-WOKE agenda crap. There is a videoclip (Lifetime Achievement Award) were Sir Sean in a speech himself says that his greatest gift in life was "when he learned to read". Unlike today when most peoples biggest gift is their new horrible tattoo or their new "smart"phone. The 60's, 70's and 80's are my favourite periods in cinema. There were also some gems later on but on the whole. Classier times. Classier people. Best regards.
Just fantastic to enjoy a rare and intelligent interview with RM. Sadly many interviews throughout his career didn’t match his intelligence which he obviously had in spades. Met him at his last book launch in Sydney, a far deeper voice than one would imagine and definitely liked different questions to the norm. When I asked him who would you cast in a remake of The Persuaders? he responded ‘Why Brad Pitt as Lord Brett Sinclair & Johnny Depp as Danny Wilde’ completely with a straight face and then a very subtle wink.. Like his friend David Niven he created and made a certain type of Englishman his very own. A one off😎👌
a lot of people put Mr. MOORE down because he played Bond differently , but i grew up in the 70s and 80s I love him then and I love him down he is and was ALL CLASS.
Roger Moor didn't have to 'act'. He was just himself. As others have said, a total one off and an utterly charming man. Made the Bond films he starred in fun and entertaining. Moonraker is my favourite. Great film...The intro song, the locations..So glad we have DVD's and not VHS tapes anymore.!
I hate the fact that Roger and Sean are no longer here. Honestly feels like they’re the last of a certain type of actor that you just don’t see how. Also Roger was a proper old school English gentleman, a genuinely charming a funny man off screen too.
My favourite bond becos he didn't take himself seriously. likes to joke made bond unique. He was good in interviews giving light hearted and jovial answers. Most handsome of the bonds.
Just in case you weren't aware, Roger is 50 here. Totally handsome and charming- and with not a hint of arrogance despite being at the centre of the biggest spectacle at the time. In the 1970's BOND was huge.
Roger Moore fué un gran actor, mi actor favorito todas sus interpretaciones fueron espectaculares no me canso de verlo actuar erá muy buen actor de cine y tv erá muy bueno actuando como el santo dos tipos audaces james bond Iván hoove ect, ect.....
Enjoyed watching the conversation. I am a big fan of bond series. These movies were ahead of ots time The continuity in every single scene the location and offcourse the bond girl was so fascinating so today when i look back i feel very happy
The Spy Who Loved Me was basically a re do of You Only Live Twice, but instead of a rogue spaceship swallowing up other space capsules of other nations, The Spy Who Loved me had a large oil tanker swallowing up nuclear submarines of other nations...both films directed by Lewis Gilbert .
@@christoph404 No, it is like Groundhog Day. Bond always goes to another country and even to space to escape but he has to go through the same adventure over and over again. He always bangs a few women, the 2nd or 3rd women he bangs always has to die. There is always a villain with a weird pet (mostly a white cat or a shark - or both). Villains have always physical abnormalities like robot hands or metal teeth and they live on space stations, under water or in a volcano. Q always knows exactly everything what will happen in that movie so he always knows which inventions Bond will need, and Bond never wonders why Q knows the future. At the end Bond always acts surprised despite the fact that he should have gotten used to the fact that all the movies have exactly the same story and blows the evil base up. Everybody thinks Bond died in the explosion while Bond attempting re-entry and keeping the British end up :D
@@Halbi1987 you are getting the word " story" mixed up with the word "formula" or " theme" so maybe English is not your first language , apologies, so yes what you have outlined is accurate to a point, Bond films have a formula or recurring elements of course that is true, but the stories are different, in a nutshell Bond is up against some master villain who is slightly mad, Blofeld, Largo, Dr No, Drax, Elliot Carver, etc etc .....the main girl Bond hooks up with rarely dies, other girls maybe, recurring characters like M, Q, and Miss Moneypenny..... so yes there is a formula and a big explosion at the end.....but the stories themselves are different, Goldfinger wants to blow up Fort Knox and make himself rich......Blofeld wants to start WW3 and Hugo Drax wants to wipe out mankind with a biological weapon and start a colony in outer space of perfect humans, bit like Hitler, so the stories are different, but there are many recurring elements, Jaws and Odd Job are the same character for example.
Cary Grant. Moore was the Grant of his era, but Hollywood wasn't making comedy or Hitchcock classics anymore, so MGM dumped Roger after a few supporting roles in awful movies, he was smart enough to move to television &, eventually, Bond. It was Stewart Granger who inspired Moore to go into the movies & David Niven who inspired him as a friend.
By the time Goldfinger appeared, the world had never seen anything like Connery's 007 & the next 2 productions were even bigger. The success of Bond was a worldwide phenomenon, inspired countless imitations & priceless merchandising. Moore revived it with humour & the series got even bigger, by Moonraker they were copying Star Wars. Bond is history's longest franchise because the producers have been smart enough to give the world the 007 it needed @ the time - monogamous AIDS era Dalton, Connery serious throwback Brosnan, hard-core Bourne adventurer Craig, apparently they're changing it up again in the next one.
Sir Roger Moore may have been the least serious and often too comical Bond, but his presence and charisma are undeniable. And his diction, an example for everyone who wants to learn proper English or speak to audiences.
Love Rodger , I was lucky 🍀 enough to have a friend who was a chef on a private motor yacht 🛥, quick story he told me , Rodger Moore and Frank Sinatra where moored up as guests on the Yacht in Monte Carlo having Beers and just chilling together as only world class stars can , they politely asked the staff for some refills , out of ear shot , so he thought , the Cockney Crew percer who was serving them shouted down too the barman. “ Two more Brews for Rodge and Frank “ on hearing this apparently Frank Sinatra and Rodger Moore burst out into tears of laughter 😂😂😂 I guess finding it so great to be treated as two ordinary joes 🙂
He has to have been the most georgeous looking man I’ve ever seen what a gentleman he was so refined thankyou for being the best bond rip roger 😊❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏

Absolute class
"The British put their best secret agent on it...they couldn't get Sean Connery so they got me!" LOL, Roger was such a class act.
@Trey Stephens in real life he was
@Trey Stephens He was 57 years old and had wanted to leave for awhile, well you could say the same thing about Sean quitting
@Trey Stephens Connery MADE Bond, he became the most famous male sex object of the '60's & couldn't take a leak without being interrupted.
I think we need a new cheeky chap like Roger for the new bond. People miss his wit and one liners. We all thought Sean was fantastic but I think there is a growing support for how Roger brought a bit of fun to the part.
Moore is so humble saying this. He don´t think he is the best Bond. What a gentleman and human being he was.

Roger Moore in my opinion was definitely the best bond ever!!!
When I see him, I don't see Roger Moore, I see James Bond.
Always liked Roger Moore as James bond and in the classic saint tv series r.i.p Roger .

Roger Moor didn't have to 'act'. He was just himself. As others have said, a total one off and an utterly charming man. Made the Bond films he starred in fun and entertaining. Moonraker is my favourite. Great film...The intro song, the locations..So glad we have DVD's and not VHS tapes anymore.!
J'adore ROGER MOORE, quel homme de grande classe, quel acteur comme on en fait plus. CHAPEAU
Questquecaveutdire chapeau?
Roger Moore will always have a special place in my heart❤
Im happy he did several bond films. I would have loved to see him in a few more....
Very charming accent , Classic an brilliant . The true James Bond very much missed
Thank you so sooooo much for this upload
Im 39 and he was one of my favourite ones, bastion of elegance, well mannered, very refined and yet modest
What a handsome man. He was the Bond that I grew up with.
His smile is amazing 😍🙂
His smile was amazing !!!
I hate the fact that Roger and Sean are no longer here. Honestly feels like they’re the last of a certain type of actor that you just don’t see how. Also Roger was a proper old school English gentleman, a genuinely charming a funny man off screen too.
My favourite bond becos he didn't take himself seriously. likes to joke made bond unique. He was good in interviews giving light hearted and jovial answers. Most handsome of the bonds.
Just in case you weren't aware, Roger is 50 here. Totally handsome and charming- and with not a hint of arrogance despite being at the centre of the biggest spectacle at the time. In the 1970's BOND was huge.
Cool , well spoken, intelligent, calm , collected, handsome and unique.
I am indeed all of those things but Roger Moore wasnt bad either was he.
💘👍
Roger Moore fué un gran actor, mi actor favorito todas sus interpretaciones fueron espectaculares no me canso de verlo actuar erá muy buen actor de cine y tv erá muy bueno actuando como el santo dos tipos audaces james bond Iván hoove ect, ect.....
Roger was such a charmer. A decent man, self deprecating, incredibly humoured and a great Englishman. What a legend.
Enjoyed watching the conversation. I am a big fan of bond series. These movies were ahead of ots time The continuity in every single scene the location and offcourse the bond girl was so fascinating so today when i look back i feel very happy
Irreplaceable actor! Underrated too.
always came across as a humble guy .. Legend
The Spy Who Loved Me was basically a re do of You Only Live Twice, but instead of a rogue spaceship swallowing up other space capsules of other nations, The Spy Who Loved me had a large oil tanker swallowing up nuclear submarines of other nations...both films directed by Lewis Gilbert .
and Tomorrow never dies re-used several ideas of the spy who loved me
all Bond movies have the same story :D
@@Halbi1987 I guess you haven't seen many Bond movies, maybe just those two I mentioned..:-)
@@christoph404 No, it is like Groundhog Day. Bond always goes to another country and even to space to escape but he has to go through the same adventure over and over again.
He always bangs a few women, the 2nd or 3rd women he bangs always has to die.
There is always a villain with a weird pet (mostly a white cat or a shark - or both).
Villains have always physical abnormalities like robot hands or metal teeth and they live on space stations, under water or in a volcano.
Q always knows exactly everything what will happen in that movie so he always knows which inventions Bond will need, and Bond never wonders why Q knows the future.
At the end Bond always acts surprised despite the fact that he should have gotten used to the fact that all the movies have exactly the same story and blows the evil base up.
Everybody thinks Bond died in the explosion while Bond attempting re-entry and keeping the British end up :D
@@Halbi1987 you are getting the word " story" mixed up with the word "formula" or " theme" so maybe English is not your first language , apologies, so yes what you have outlined is accurate to a point, Bond films have a formula or recurring elements of course that is true, but the stories are different, in a nutshell Bond is up against some master villain who is slightly mad, Blofeld, Largo, Dr No, Drax, Elliot Carver, etc etc .....the main girl Bond hooks up with rarely dies, other girls maybe, recurring characters like M, Q, and Miss Moneypenny..... so yes there is a formula and a big explosion at the end.....but the stories themselves are different, Goldfinger wants to blow up Fort Knox and make himself rich......Blofeld wants to start WW3 and Hugo Drax wants to wipe out mankind with a biological weapon and start a colony in outer space of perfect humans, bit like Hitler, so the stories are different, but there are many recurring elements, Jaws and Odd Job are the same character for example.
Roger Moore The most suave british Gent ever. He was pure class.
Cary Grant. Moore was the Grant of his era, but Hollywood wasn't making comedy or Hitchcock classics anymore, so MGM dumped Roger after a few supporting roles in awful movies, he was smart enough to move to television &, eventually, Bond. It was Stewart Granger who inspired Moore to go into the movies & David Niven who inspired him as a friend.
You should read his autobiography “My word is my bond”. Fascinating read that goes from London in the blitz to Hollywood. He led an amazing life.
The Bond I grew up with.
It's a shame they didnt get them all together in a room to interview them before Sean and Roger passed away.
I’ve seen all the Bond movies since 1962. I find that Roger Moore was the best in my personal opinion.
By the time Goldfinger appeared, the world had never seen anything like Connery's 007 & the next 2 productions were even bigger. The success of Bond was a worldwide phenomenon, inspired countless imitations & priceless merchandising. Moore revived it with humour & the series got even bigger, by Moonraker they were copying Star Wars. Bond is history's longest franchise because the producers have been smart enough to give the world the 007 it needed @ the time - monogamous AIDS era Dalton, Connery serious throwback Brosnan, hard-core Bourne adventurer Craig, apparently they're changing it up again in the next one.
Sir Roger had such class, easily my favourite Bond
Roger Moore : la classe intégrale
TSWLM(1977): THE BEST JAMES BOND FILM EVER!!!
From all 007 I strongly believe Roger Moore was the best of all the time***
One thing about Moore he never slagged off playing Bond like Connery and Craig.
Moore and Brosnan both loved the role.
Agreed!
No, but some never forgave him for playing it as comedy.
he was 50, here. RIP sir roger, from America with love
Sir Roger Moore may have been the least serious and often too comical Bond, but his presence and charisma are undeniable. And his diction, an example for everyone who wants to learn proper English or speak to audiences.
Thank you Sir Roger Moore, you are greatly missed
Perfect and true answers ... Loved his voice too👌👌 RIP🌷
This man was a true gentleman in every way.
So classy!
Good voice tone had Sir Roger Moore Rip ....
I'm 56 and I look like a 110 year old compared to Sir Roger here ! I miss him so much ! I watch the Persuaders every day !
Always an enjoyable interview when Roger is in the chair!
Love Rodger , I was lucky 🍀 enough to have a friend who was a chef on a private motor yacht 🛥, quick story he told me , Rodger Moore and Frank Sinatra where moored up as guests on the Yacht in Monte Carlo having Beers and just chilling together as only world class stars can , they politely asked the staff for some refills , out of ear shot , so he thought , the Cockney Crew percer who was serving them shouted down too the barman. “ Two more Brews for Rodge and Frank “ on hearing this apparently Frank Sinatra and Rodger Moore burst out into tears of laughter 😂😂😂 I guess finding it so great to be treated as two ordinary joes 🙂
judging by Roger's accent when he is talking about the director making the actress burst into tears I think it is Alfred Hitchcock?
Such a fashinating gentleman
Stunning as ever and that accent is marvelous.✌💋💋💋💋
Very good interviewer
Intellectual charismatic articulate and witty sense of humour. Your presence 007 is greatly missed💫
Wow! What a style! 💥
The best Bond and a great man.
He has to have been the most georgeous looking man I’ve ever seen what a gentleman he was so refined thankyou for being the best bond rip roger 😊❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏
