Just look at Timothy Dalton and Maryam d'Abo. They are so natural, so expressive and look the same in the movie and in real life. Also, I like that Timothy is smoking during the interview, just like Bond would do. Because he is Bond.
A brilliant and charismatic actor and man , who in my opinion was so underrated . Timothy Dalton could play anything . He was that good . If you think Olivier was great , Dalton was better . If you are familiar with all his work I have no doubt you will completely agree. This talented man was a master of his craft . I will never forget him as Edward Rochester in the mini series "Jane Eyre ". What a performance that was . Timothy Dalton has much to be proud of .
slobomotion Me too! Granted I discovered the world of James Bond in the 1990's but if I could be James Bond for one day I would be Timothy Dalton's version since he played the character the closest to how Ian Fleming wrote him. I still see Dalton in my minds eye when I read many of Fleming's original novels including Casino Royale (1953) which is Tim Dalton's favorite of the original books.
I really liked Living Daylights. I thought it was a lot closer to reality. I like living in reality. He wasn't super-human. Just intelligent and capable of making a difference. I think a secret agent ought to be portrayed as being a living person.
Broccoli & Saltzman were interested in casting Timothy Dalton as early as 1969. However, they mutually concluded that he was young at the time. Broccoli sounded him out again in 1980, but Michael Wilson said that Dalton was not interested at the time. It's too bad that Dalton did not take over the role earlier, with writing and directing that really supported him. Timothy Dalton was the James Bond that Ian Fleming almost certainly would have accepted and enjoyed.
Yup..that's right Had he taken the offer back then, he could have been the greatest bond of all time And I also personally believe that Dalton is the best actor in terms of acting skills, to have played the character (I do have respect for all the other actors)
I liked Dalton as Bond. Too bad he couldn't play him in A View to a Kill. Roger Moore did not look too well and I bet the ladies was turned off by him. P.B. was ok but was hyped up too much when Goldeneye premiered. Especially his later Bond flicks.
1:46 I have never seen him this much happy and cheerful in any of his roles. Whenever I think of Mr. Dalton there's only one role which comes to my mind first " Edward Fairfax Rochester" from Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester was a brooding guy. He looks very handsome in this interview ☺️.
Such a shame he only had two films! He should of had a view to a kill and then these two followed by ‘Bond 71’ that was meant to happen in 1991. Such a shame he had two films
Timothy Dalton was a great Bond in my opinion. If The Living Daylights and Licence To Kill had a different writer and director maybe he would made more than two, but the producers relied on the same team of writers and director since For Your Eyes Only and The Living Daylights was written when Pierce Brosnan was still attached to make the movie before he had to bow out on short notice. Then the press blamed Dalton for the box office failure of LTK which is nonsense. He never got a fair shake.
Wow can y'all imagine if he did Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies? He would have made those movies even better than they already were. I mean I like Brosnan but Dalton is such a stronger actor in my opinion. He to me is the best Bond ever.
He's my favorite too. Even in his other films, Dalton just outshines everyone with how good an actor he is (search Hawks on UA-cam, AMAZING movie and he's terrific in it, as well as Framed). I just wish he got at least one more film, cus we all love trilogies. The Property of a Lady had a promising story, and I think it would've been the film that made him more popular.
+Lon Tanner a lot of fans agree with you...we live in a microwave era where idiots think anything today is better than past Craig is the worst 007 and Dalton was the best
He would have been too old by that stage. Really he should debuted with For Your Eyes Only. They tried to make Moore's Bond more cold and ruthless but it didn't work. Dalton was the guy for that.
Джеймс Бонд красивые картинки ,а сути нет правильно Тимоти сделал отказавшись играть дальше ....его преимущество это Любовь земная это история человечества история Бога !!!!Храни вас господь!!!
We've strayed so far from the original intent of the character, I don't think fans know who Bond actually is or want that kind of Flemingesque character. Craig got so much criticism for being too "serious" and "gritty" that his final 2 films were basically just emo Marvel or DC. Most of these people have never read the novellas. They just either grew up with Roger Moore or Pierce Brosnan and they think that's what he's supposed to be. I'll give Roger credit - he had a couple of movies with badass, realistic spy thriller moments, but Brosnan was just a cartoon character model in a suit with the one-liners of Jonah Hill from Superbad if they were made PG-13. Dalton will always be my favourite, followed by Connery and then Craig. He embodied the character from the novels and felt like an actual person. Craig had a lot of that in Casino Royale, but then the pacing and tone of his other films was all over the place and NTTD was basically emo Moonraker. I like the idea of a constant theme and narrative from film to film with one actor, but with Craig, that idea felt tacked on. That should have been the plan from the start and every film should have had a rough outline of a script leading up to Bond's final demise, if that's where you're going. I don't have a problem with Bond dying. I have a problem with his death not being earned. Nothing felt earned by the end of Craig's tenure. But Dalton had one great film with bad villains and one okay film with great villains. I would have liked to have seen him in a 3rd film, especially given who followed him. Property of a Lady would have gotten all the bigots out to protest "wokeness." But as it was, Goldeneye was probably the most "woke" movie of the bunch.
Yeah. When I saw "Goldeneye" in the movie theater, for the first half of the film I kept wishing T.D. was playing the role (it was originally written with him in mind - see previous comments below). Then during the second half of the film I started wondering if Sean Bean (006) and P.B. should have traded places...ie. S.B. portray 007 and P.B. portray 006.
The Living Daylights had all the perfect ingredients of a perfect bond film except for a few flaws. Major flaw 1) bond girls were terrible 2) No big fight scene at the end
@orgasmicide2 - You're actually closer than you think when you say: "...it seemed tailor-made for Dalton." According to "Goldeneye" magazine, one of the movie's writers, Michael France, is quoted to have said: "We didn't know it would be PIerce when we started. It was sort of assumed that it would be Tim...I tried to write it with him in mind: a lot of physical action, some emotional intensity with double agent Trevelyan, and not a lot of humour."
@legatofancier I'm not sure if you're correct about the producers not wanting Dalton in 1969. I've seen different interviews with Mr. Dalton saying he was offered the role in 1969, and he consistently states he turned the role down because he thought he was too young at the time (and didn't want to follow Sean Connery in the role.) But I could be wrong about that. I have read that Dana Broccoli, "Cubby's" wife, was the one to suggest Dalton. Just as she'd suggested Connery.
@Riddler95 - Mr. Dalton was the ORIGINAL choice - before Pierce Brosnan was offered the role - for "The Living Daylights." Dalton had a scheduling conflict - either with the movie, "Brenda Starr," or a stage play he was performing in at the time. Thus, the producers then went to Brosnan, who, as you say, had a conflict with "Remington Steele." But that's why the Bond producers then went BACK to Dalton.
Moore should have retired after Moonraker and Dalton should have started with For Your Eyes Only. They tried to make Moore's final 3 movies more dark and it just didn't work. Dalton would have made those movies unbelievable thrillers.
@orgasmicide2 I agree with you, the best Brosnan's Bond movie is Goldeneye because, as you said, it's really dark, but after your comment I also agree with the fact that this Bond movie was for Dalton. Great actor, but underrated.
What a time for 007. Back then when Roger Moore was getting too old they had Pierce Brosnan AND Timothy Dalton to consider... these days we have nobody that is at all Bond like, let alone bloody perfect. I wanted to like Daniel Craig as Bond but I've gone right off him since Casino Royale. He's just a bland, boring, miserable robot - and I just can't get over the buzz-cut blond hair, it's just so unBond-like. He looks like a Russian villain agent or something.. a la Putin. Also as Dalton says in this video, "I'm in reasonably good shape, but you must remember that Bond uses his mind.. his ingenuity, he thinks.. he's not a Rambo..." And now they've turned Bond into some utterly miserable, robotic muscle man with a shaved head. Looking at all the British actors around today of around the right age and so on none of them scream Bond.
@legatofancier I'd like to remind you that Ian Fleming originally wanted Roger Moore to be cast as Bond, some people think he wanted Cary Grant, but this isn't the case. Originally he was very disappointed that Connery got cast as Bond, but he did grow to like him in the end.
Does anyone know the song that is being played in the background from 2:21 to 2:30? I know it is part of the soundtrack from one of the films, but I can't quite place it. Thank you.
I love how he just went "That was one time Bond Lazenby, but HERE'S the real James Bond!" I know he did the same for Moore, but signaling out George was funny to me (Lazenby was great though).
I guess the whole point of Bond is the cheesy cartoonish stuff. That's why Moore and Brosnan are so beloved. With them, they weren't so much human as they looked like they could be knocked over by a feather. Charismatic wimps. Connery managed to combine the 2 parts of Bond in a way that made him almost human, and Dalton at least attempted to make Bond believable, but Craig is the first guy since Connery to be the Bond of the novels.
Looks are subjective and all but I read one guy (no, not the russian bot) claiming she was the least attractive Bond girl and all I can think of is that someone took one martini too much. She`s an eyeball.
"Younger leading man..." Sir he's like 40 when he played James Bond. He's literally the oldest of all the Bond actors to start playing Bond. Had he accept Broccoli's offer back in 1969 like that, we be seeing a much younger Bond. Younger than Lazenby. Haha Tim just looks so young, you forgot he's 40 lol

The Living Daylights is still one of my very favorite Bond movies, Dalton played the real Bond with depth
He is such an underrated actor and so good looking.

IT is true, in my opinion too!
Да Тимати Далтона намного лучше чем Оливье и много других ролей бы сыграл бы мастерски Тимати Далтон.
Самый лучший 👍💯 и красивый.@@АкжаркынУразова-л9е
I liked Dalton a lot, and DAYLIGHTS is pretty much my favorite "Bond."

I Think Dalton is the third or second best bond,And License to kill is for me my Favorite movie
I really liked Living Daylights. I thought it was a lot closer to reality. I like living in reality. He wasn't super-human. Just intelligent and capable of making a difference. I think a secret agent ought to be portrayed as being a living person.
He is gorgeous and so talented!!

@@sam_8290 agree with everything you say , dalton is my favorite bond also .
They weren’t the ones that considered him too young. HE was the one who considered himself to be too young
I liked Dalton as Bond. Too bad he couldn't play him in A View to a Kill. Roger Moore did not look too well and I bet the ladies was turned off by him. P.B. was ok but was hyped up too much when Goldeneye premiered. Especially his later Bond flicks.
Dalton is pure class and a brilliant actor. Him and Connery will always hold the top spots for Bond.
1:46 I have never seen him this much happy and cheerful in any of his roles. Whenever I think of Mr. Dalton there's only one role which comes to my mind first " Edward Fairfax Rochester" from Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester was a brooding guy. He looks very handsome in this interview ☺️.
He is soo under rated /:
Тимоти Далтон. Твои глаза магнит ..боже какой мужчина красивый. Мечта всех женщин
К тому же очень талантлив и многогранен. Посмотрите его в комедиях, супер!
Oh, god! He is so gorgeous!!!
Such a shame he only had two films! He should of had a view to a kill and then these two followed by ‘Bond 71’ that was meant to happen in 1991. Such a shame he had two films
he really should have done more films, started with octopussy then view to a kill, just my opinion
Timothy Dalton was a great Bond in my opinion.

The old 80s appliances in the beginning and smoking during an interview, priceless.

Craig is the worst 007 and Dalton was the best
He would have been too old by that stage. Really he should debuted with For Your Eyes Only. They tried to make Moore's Bond more cold and ruthless but it didn't work. Dalton was the guy for that.
Dalton was asked to be 007 in 1968 for OHMSS but declined...Lazenby got it

Smoking a cig during the interview haha
Just like James Bond would be doing.
So weird to see an actor smoke in an interview these days.
@@ricardocantoral7672 yeah if I ever get famous I'm gonna smoke a cigarette. Idgaf
@margosacco agreed mate. love dalton. such a letdown that he only did 2 bond movies. doesn't get the credit he deserves.
Yeah. When I saw "Goldeneye" in the movie theater, for the first half of the film I kept wishing T.D. was playing the role (it was originally written with him in mind - see previous comments below).
Then during the second half of the film I started wondering if Sean Bean (006) and P.B. should have traded places...ie. S.B. portray 007 and P.B. portray 006.
Hope I’ll meet Dalton someday I can feel his passion for the performing arts
Licence to Kill is so good how he infiltrates not only Sanchez’ operation but his mind too :)
A very underrated Bond.. unfortunate sequence of events just went against TD otherwise could have enjoyed few more TD Bond movies
The Living Daylights had all the perfect ingredients of a perfect bond film except for a few flaws. Major flaw 1) bond girls were terrible 2) No big fight scene at the end
Such a dreamy guy. (Sigh) I'm only 15 and I definitely don't have a chance since he's like 70 now
I married a Parisian version. I was 37, he was 27. Still together. It's possible ... I never know whether or not I'll see him again.
😭 aww stay strong. You'll get through it.
+DesignzRUs1 I have same feeling. (Sigh)
Dalton is Bond....
I collect James Bond movie merchandise as a hobby and I love it. I have many items related to both of Dalton's films since I enjoy them so much.
What the hell was that overdub at 1:00? Not at all like the actual audio from the film.
@orgasmicide2 - You're actually closer than you think when you say: "...it seemed tailor-made for Dalton."
According to "Goldeneye" magazine, one of the movie's writers, Michael France, is quoted to have said:

He didn’t really beat out Pierce Brosnan for the role. Pierce was contractually obligated and had to turn it down.

Rampage Clover Octopussy and A View To A Kill ‘dark’? No way mate
They "tried" I said...and they didn't pull it off...it looked even more comical
he was signed up for 3 movies but the movie companies got into some 4 year lawsuit so dalton quit
@orgasmicide2 I agree with you, the best Brosnan's Bond movie is Goldeneye because, as you said, it's really dark, but after your comment I also agree with the fact that this Bond movie was for Dalton. Great actor, but underrated.
0:59
2:05
What the hell? I’m guessing they dubbed the actress’ voice in post-production.
I noticed that too. The actress' real voice actually sounds better in my opinion.
1:16 All I hear is Charles Jones...

100% agree, Casino Royale was great but Craig just isnt bond for me,
How about Henry Cavill?
And you’re so right Daniel Craig was not the right fit to play James Bond
He sure is a happy fellow is'nt he?
@legatofancier I'd like to remind you that Ian Fleming originally wanted Roger Moore to be cast as Bond, some people think he wanted Cary Grant, but this isn't the case. Originally he was very disappointed that Connery got cast as Bond, but he did grow to like him in the end.

octopussy - bond look alike. its not really on youtube though
Timothy was a smooker. We can see smoke during the interview.
Who beat out pierce Brosnan Haha
@Jacer92 - I thought you meant an underrated Bond and an (underrated) actor. Either way, I agree.
Loved him in Chuck.
Then after one more they chose DANIEL CRAIG what was Babs thinking?
I love how he just went "That was one time Bond Lazenby, but HERE'S the real James Bond!" I know he did the same for Moore, but signaling out George was funny to me (Lazenby was great though).
The Marlboro Bond

Looked as good as Brosnan here!
its funny I like Timothy Dalton Roger Moore And Sean Connery equally as the 2nd best Bond (My favorite being Pierce Brosnan)
In the years since this comment here’s my ranking
1. Dalton
2. Craig
3./4. Connery and Brosnan
5./6. Moore and Lasenby
brosnan would have been much better than this klutz
Hahahha Grigori is the best bond villain ever.
Maryam D'Abo was a truly classy piece of real estate!
Looks are subjective and all but I read one guy (no, not the russian bot) claiming she was the least attractive Bond girl and all I can think of is that someone took one martini too much.
She`s an eyeball.
She was jusgt beautiful, and with no effort.
I'm Timothy DALton, I'm an ACCtor, a proper ACCtor and I've done SHAKEspeare!
"Younger leading man..." Sir he's like 40 when he played James Bond. He's literally the oldest of all the Bond actors to start playing Bond. Had he accept Broccoli's offer back in 1969 like that, we be seeing a much younger Bond. Younger than Lazenby. Haha Tim just looks so young, you forgot he's 40 lol
41 years old, but he was like the wine 🍷🍷, delicious 😍🥵😋🫠
