He seemed like a classy guy. He made the decision to stop playing Bond because he said the leading ladies were young enough to be his granddaughter, and "it was disgusting."
Wow, mad respect.
This is one of the most wonderful celebrity stories I’ve seen
I always preferred Sean Connery but Sean was a horrible person.
I'd like to think that actors get remembered for who they were rather than who they pretended to be.
Yeah, you could tell he was a horrible person by how he gave Alex Trebek such a hard time.
Shut it, Rustydomino, your mother's a whore!

PENIS MIGHTIER!
Connery's Bond was also awfully sexists and misogynistic. It's incredibly cringe trying to watch certain scenes of that era. Some are rape fantasies through and thru.
The first book is interesting... it has the typical Bond setup... here's your mission, your exotic location, and your beautiful assistant... and Bond goes:
"A woman? What are you sending a woman for, she'll only get in the way."
(!)
I was surprised!
Huh, I had missed that he passed away (or forgotten about it). Hope he's being abused by women in the afterlife.
Goldeneye was my favorite film as a kid but Moore was always the classiest, a real gentleman.
Timothy Dalton was the best Bond, closest to the books.
License to Kill was a bit before its time. Bourne before Bourne was a thing. I think people still wanted the campy Moore era and just weren't ready for that.
Casino Royale aped the Bourne thing later and was a smash hit.
He was much better as a supermarché owner in any case.
I don’t think Lazenby gets enough credit but yeah I’d agree. Dalton is also the best actor outside of Bond, Connery probably has more credits but he’s not a time lord.
A real slasher of ... bad guys.
That's a fact!
I have to admit, I was a bit leary coming in here, but that's a great story.
That pressed a tear out of this man here. Great story! Great man!
That's a great story, it's nice hearing about people being treated well by famous people. Thanks for sharing.
