Lazenby proved to be one of the most divisive Bond choices in one of the most divisive Bond movies , with the actor claiming that he was blacklisted in the movie industry after his manager talked him out of signing a contract for six more Bond movies.
It was reported that he was "difficult to handle" on set, something that Lazenby strongly denies. It was Sean Connery's gig and, being in the '60s, it was love, not war. You know, hippy time. And I bought into that," he reflected in They said, you could do that.
So I didn't feel like I was losing the million dollars. Given that it remains his most notable role to date, perhaps Lazenby will feel the advice he got was well off the mark. Over his seven Bond outings, Roger Moore became the oldest actor to play , as he was 58 years old when he made his final Bond movie, A View to a Kill.
And it seems like age was very much a factor in Moore deciding to quit the role, but it wasn't because he couldn't do the stunts anymore. It's something Moore echoed in his final interview before his death , as he told the The Mirror that after A View to a Kill , he thought he looked too old to be "hanging around women in their early twenties without it appearing creepy". Before he took the role of Bond, Timothy Dalton was concerned that he might become bored with the role if he played the same character for several years.
Yet, that wasn't why Dalton left after only two movies as It was in fact something completely out of his control: he was all set for a third movie in , only for legal issues between Eon Productions and MGM to delay the production. The door was open for Dalton to return as Bond when the lawsuit was resolved in , but he had decided he would only want to return for one movie. You can't do one. There's no way, after a five-year gap between movies that you can come back and just do one.
You'd have to plan on four or five,'" Dalton recalled. While doing press for the film, Connery noted that his run as the character had done wonders for him and his career but also acknowledged his concerns about being typecast for future roles outside of the franchise and his reluctance about having two films remaining in his contract. However, it wasn't until production began on his fifth appearance as Bond in 's You Only Live Twice that things between Connery and the film series' producers, Albert R.
Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, truly came to a head. While Connery still had a sixth film on his contract, an adaptation of Fleming's novel, On Her Majesty's Secret Service , his relationship with Broccoli and Saltzman -- the producers that had given him his big break less than six years previously -- had become decidedly contentious.
The producers were frustrated that Connery was becoming vocally more unhappy with his role while Connery compared the two to gangsters in the aftermath of the production.
After distancing himself from his character in comments to the press before production, during principal photography for You Only Live Twice in Japan, Connery's increased profile led to him being mobbed and stalked relentlessly, culminating in one obsessive fan following him into a bathroom with a camera. Six months after "A View to Kill's" release, in December , year-old Moore announced his retirement.
The oldest actor to portray Bond played the part for more than 12 years. You can see I was getting a little scraggy around the neck. Dalton made his second and last appearance as Bond in 's "License to Kill. During a party at the defeated, deceased Sanchez's house, Bond finds he has his job back. He jumps over a balcony into a pool to romance his beautiful pilot accomplice, Pam Bouvier Carey Lowell. Largely because of legal problems at studio MGM, the next Bond film was delayed, leading to contract issues.
Bond has a climactic midair standoff with British billionaire Gustav Graves Toby Stephens , who gets sucked into a plane engine after trying to escape by parachute. Brosnan, 49, was in negotiations to return as Bond, but the producers pulled out. They turned to a fresh, less-expensive , year-old Craig, for 's "Casino Royale.
I like to make a good living and be able to take care of my family.
