Adores the comedy of Dawn French and Billy Connolly, to name a few.

All the scenes in which showed Moore running in his seven Bond movies were performed by doubles, since the actor felt he looked awkward running.



Although critics often accused him of not looking tough enough to play superspy James Bond, he once beat up legendary American hellraiser Lee Marvin while they were filming Shout at the Devil (1976). Marvin recalled, "The guy is built like granite. Nobody will ever underestimate him again.".

Although Moore claimed to have quit smoking cigarettes while filming "The Persuaders!" (1971), a filmed interview from on the set of For Your Eyes Only (1981) shows him smoking a cigarette.

Collapsed during a matinee performance of the Broadway comedy "The Play What I Wrote", but finished the show after a 10-minute break. Roger was playing the part of the mystery guest star, which the cameo role is filled by celebrities, when he fainted toward the end of the second act. He was taken to the hospital after the show.

Confirmed in an interview with The Sunday Telegraph magazine in April 2009 that he is completely retired from acting.

Despite playing James Bond in seven Bond films, he never ordered a vodka martini shaken not stirred.

Detests doing scenes that involve him shooting firearms - which caused him to ruin countless 007 takes.

During the early stages of his career Roger collected towels from the hotels he stayed in. However, he stopped when a British newspaper printed a story entitled 'Roger Moore is a towel thief'. He revealed on "So Graham Norton" (1998) that he still has the collection in his Swiss home.

Father of Geoffrey Moore, Christian Moore and Deborah Moore.

Following the suggestion that fugitive train robber Ronald Biggs make a cameo appearance in the Brazil episode of Moonraker (1979), he replied in rather colorful terms that he didn't want the escaped prisoner anywhere near the film, as his own father had been a London Policeman.

Future "EastEnders" (1985) star Mike Reid worked as his underwater stunt double in "The Saint" (1962), but was fired after making fun of Moore's thinning hair.
