In a shocking revelation, Sir Roger Moore, the renowned British actor famous for his portrayal of James Bond, has come forward to disclose that he was subjected to domestic abuse by two of his former wives.
The 84-year-old movie star, who first donned the iconic agent 007 role in the film “Live and Let Die” back in 1973, spoke candidly about the abuse he endured at the hands of his first two wives, Doorn van Steyn and Dorothy Squires, during an interview on Piers Morgan’s ITV show Life Stories.
Recalling one incident, Moore shared that Van Steyn, an ice skater, once threw a teapot at him in a fit of anger after he gave her a sassy response.
The actor expressed how he often found himself on the receiving end of domestic violence at the hands of his ex-wives.
He also revealed that Squires, a Welsh singer, possessed a fiery temper and once struck him over the head with a guitar, damaging the instrument in the process.
Tragically, neither woman is able to provide their perspective on their tumultuous marriages with Moore, as Squires passed away in 1998 and Van Steyn in 2010.
Their absence makes it challenging to gain a complete understanding of the dynamics within these relationships, leaving only Moore’s account of the abuse he suffered.
Moore’s third wife was Italian actress Luisa Mattioli, with whom he had three children.
However, their marriage ended in divorce in 1996.
Since then, the actor has found happiness with his current wife, 71-year-old Scandinavian socialite Christina Tholstrup.
Describing their relationship as tranquil and devoid of arguments, Moore emphasized the stark contrast to his past experiences.
