Sweet story I've just seen on twitter:

This is possibly the best celebrity story I've ever read.

 

[Warm Machine]

Great Bond in the best Bond movie, For Your Eyes Only. Love you Roger.

 

[The Scollard]

So unfortunate. Rest In Piece, Roger Moore.

For Your Eyes Only is probably my third favourite Bond film (after OHMSS and FRWL), so I have an attachment to Moore's Bond. While not all his films were great, he still starred in two of the best Bond films around, FYEO and The Spy Who Loved Me. He was great in those, and I love his charming, gentlemanly take on the character. After seeing Craig in the role for more than 10 years and a whole bunch of gritty spy movies, Moore's take seems so refreshing right now, and it's so sad the man is no longer with us.

Truly. Even if it's complete bullshit, it feels too right.

 

[Turbo Killer]

RIP, pure class.

 

[Pandy]

As ever in these cases, thoughts go out to his family.

Had friends round and watched Fire, Ice and Dynamite for the first time this weekend. Feels retrospectively like we gathered to say farewell. RIP, Sir Roger.

 

[Sir Doom]

The Bond I grew up
RIP

 

[RoyaleDuke]

Damn, I really loved Moonraker.

Rest in peace.

 

[Depths of Orion]

So unbelievably sad. I just watched Octopussy a few days ago. RIP Bond

Great Bond in the best Bond movie, For Your Eyes Only. Love you Roger.

Nice Bondgirl (not as good as Eva Green or Diana Rigg though)

Best Bondcar and chase

Best Bond

My favourite Bond, Roger was the Bond who I grew up watching, so very sad to hear of his passing.

Nobody did it better.

RIP.

 

[Space Runaway]

What a week...Sad to see him go. At least he'll always live on as Bond; one that struck this strange balance between terrible and great, which somehow worked out very well. RIP

 

[WolfeTone]

Sad news. He was probably my least favourite Bond but I always got he sense that he enjoyed the role the most. A lot of the other actors in the franchise distanced themselves from the role afterwards but I feel like Roger Moore embraced it the most.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

One of the best Bonds ever. RIP.

 

[Darth Pinche]

R.I.P., Mr. Bond.

he really seemed to be a delightful person.

 

[Zoso]

Very sad to hear. He was a righteous man, and his Bond movies are a ton of fun. RIP.

I love For Your Eyes Only. The absurd cold open still makes me laugh.

 

[Phediuk]

RIP. Great actor.

 

[George Washington]

RIP. He was an amazing person.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Wait, those were real crocs WTF?

Yeah lol. And this car stunt was real too. Nevermind the dumbass sound effect.

[EGM1966]

RIP. Suave, funny and always came across as a lovely guy.

I'm not religious but I like to imagine him giving a classic Moore nod and eyebrow raise at the Pearly Gates anyway.

A good life but very sad to see him go.

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

Fuck. He was the best Bond easily. At least he lived a full life though. RIP.

 

[Kill3r7]

RIP.

 

[nitewulf]

RIP. Octopussy was my first Bond movie. Even though I didn't like most of his Bond movies once older, I have fond memories of watching those.

That story had me smiling from ear to ear. Wonderful man and a true credit to the art of acting. One of the last greats.
