Jane Seymour, known for her role as a Bond girl, has expressed her love and admiration for the late Sir Roger Moore.
The actor, who portrayed James Bond from 1973 to 1985, passed away in Switzerland after a brief battle with cancer.
Seymour, who joined the franchise in 1973’s “Live and Let Die,” shared her experiences of working with Moore and the intimate scenes they filmed together.
Despite their on-screen romance, Seymour reveals that their relationship off-screen was quite different.
She recalls a particular incident during the filming of a bedroom scene when Moore suggested they have liver and onions for lunch.
She initially thought he was joking, but he ordered it to make the meal as unappealing as possible.
Though confused by his actions, Seymour admits that Moore always managed to make her laugh.
Filming the scene itself was nerve-racking and embarrassing, according to Seymour.
The extensive time spent on arranging lights and camera angles made her fall asleep on the bed, resulting in her being woken up.
While the scenes weren’t overly steamy, Seymour mentions that Moore was a very good and polite kisser.
Seymour also shares a humorous anecdote about a scene involving a train.
She explains that she had difficulty delivering a piece of dialogue without bursting into laughter.
Both she and Moore were overcome with giggles, and the crew had to remove Seymour from the set and use body doubles to complete the scene.
Sir Roger Moore’s family confirmed his passing in a statement posted on Twitter.
The statement expressed their profound grief over losing their father.
Moore, who appeared in seven films as James Bond, holds the record for being the longest-serving actor in the iconic role.
In a previous interview, he mentioned that while he was honored to play Bond, he had always wished he had also been cast in the film “Lawrence of Arabia,” which he considered to be the best movie ever made.
The news of Sir Roger Moore’s passing has left a void in the hearts of fans worldwide.
Jane Seymour’s tribute sheds light on the unique experiences she had working with him, showcasing their camaraderie both on and off-screen.
It is evident that Moore’s legacy as James Bond extends beyond his suave on-screen persona, as he was remembered by those who knew him as a talented actor and a delightful human being.
