Roger Moore Thinks Any Idiot Can Play Bond

By Celeb Stink: 2006-11-06 00:00:00
Former JAMES BOND star ROGER MOORE insists it doesn't take a "good actor" to play the world's most famous secret agent. Moore - who played the suave superspy in the early 1980s - insists criticism of the decision to cast DANIEL CRAIG as 007 was harsh, because the role doesn't require much talent.

He says, "I am a great defender of Daniel Craig. He's a good actor. People have been so beastly, he's not even had a chance. "Not that you have to be a good actor... you just have to be able to say, 'My name's Bond, James Bond'

But despite offering his support to Craig, the 79-year-old actor isn't looking forward to Casino Royale's cinema release later this month (17NOV06). He says, "The other thing that happens when a new Bond film opens is that I get bad reviews. "The critics say, 'Thank God, he - whoever he is - wasn't like Roger Moore'."

  • I don't agree with what Roger Moore said that ANY IDIOT CAN PLAY BOND. He's all wrong because I grew up watching Bond movies including Moore's and sort of fantasized him even at the age of about 7.At that age I would never drool over him if I thought Moore was an idiot playing Bond. Neither would I end up surfing for Daniel Craig all the time if I thought he was idiot. I'M SORRY MR. MOORE AN IDIOT CAN NEVER PLAY A JAMES BOND. YOUR STATEMENT IS AN INSULT TO VIEWERS LIKE US.

    Good praises for Daniel Craig I've became an avid fan after I watched Quantum of Solace. Hope he gets more Bond movies. It sure would be a sad time when he leaves James Bond.
  • Daniel Craig killed it for me. For years I could adapt and accept the wide and various character interpretations of Bond until this present collapse of sound judgment. There still needs to be a commitment to maintain the essence of a created character.

    As a character designer myself, I would turn over in my grave if someone reinterpreted my published character so greatly out of context so long after my death. I do hope Broccolli will be visited by the Ghost of Fleming as Scrooge's own Marley.

    What the dickens were they thinking?
  • roger moore was a gr8 bond and 2 david u fcuk dnt u think ya sound a bit gay urself u and ur craig fettish oh how u must want 2 suck him off :P hahahaha
  • I don't blame Moore for dreading a new Bond film and all the criticism he gets for his potrayal. He was the worst Bond yet. He played him as a fancy pants Dandy with wierd homosexual overtones that completely misrepresented the character. Craig on the other hand has recaptured Bond's maleness, his rough, rude, chavanistic side, as well as his downright dark side. It's something that got lost somewhere between Connery and Brosnan. Brosnan almost pulled it off and in fact was quite believable as Bond, but it was that darkness that was missing that made him fall just short of the mark. I hope Craig will consent to making at least one more if it's offered to him.
  • Acutally bond does get naked in the film. He is hung like a monkey.
  • pierce brosnan is very good for james bond because he is a strong man and the sharm with him is the best...for `my name is bond...james bond
  • For me Roger Moore is second best Bond after Sean Connery. All actors were good but these 2 were the best.
    It's just my opinion of course.
  • I have loved all the Bonds.. Roger Moore was no exception
  • The bond world is going in to chaos..They should take a break, and find an actor who can stand for 10 years or something. Daniel Craig is a good one, but i hate when they change the actor out in no time.
  • Daniel Craig is spectacular as the new Bond. He definately has the charm, charisma and wit. Usually I'n not too fond of action films, but I was captivated from beginning to end. The plot is excellent.
  • Daniel Craig was positivly smashing basil, as the new James Bond, i drank seven cups o' tea while viewing this spectacular film! His sexy body and his humerous puns made my day :) i only wish i saw a little more of him, if you know were im getting at hehehehe. I just loved the part in which he had to hook up the defubulater and nearly dies, then he comes back to the poker game and says " that hand nearly killed me" haha i couldn't contain myself truly an honer watchin him.
    russell moore signing out!
  • Daniel Craig rocked as Bond! Far better than any of the gimmicky previous post Moore Bonds we have seen, actually looking forward to the next one!
  • ROGER MOORE says, "The other thing that happens when a new Bond film opens is that I get bad reviews. "The critics say, 'Thank God, he - whoever he is - wasn't like Roger Moore'."

    Great guy! I laughed so much... :))))
