His list of achievements, from 60 odd years in the business, is long indeed – James Bond, The Saint… anything but Bullseye – and Moore’s great poise and presence allowed him to recount his long story with modesty and comic timing.

Moore made these comments after Daniel Craig was asked if he would like a female or black actor to play James Bond. But they wouldn’t be Bond for the simple reason that wasn’t what Ian Fleming wrote’.
Former Bond actor Roger Moore told the Daily Mail on Sunday that Bond could never be gay. You can do anything as long as it’s credible and it works.
Moore – who starred in seven Bond films between 1973 and 1985 – has revealed that the apparently steamy scenes he appeared in weren’t romantic at all.
Then again Roger Moore is an icon regardless of the bad reviews, and that, surely, is his greatest achievement. “It is not about being homophobic or, for that matter, racist”.
He added: “I said: “It doesn’t count because you pay for them.’ He replied: “Yes it does because sometimes when I pay, they refuse”.
Moore went on to comment how villains being from “undefined nations” was also an issue: “There is a danger always of causing offence”. He later claimed that his comments were lost in translation.
The actor said that “political correctness” should not come into play when casting the secret agent, according to the Daily Mail.
