I'm just going to repeat what everyone on here, and Josie Gibson, has already said. Geoffrey looks, sounds like and has the mannerisms of his father. I never really thought so before, but he's really become more like his dad. It's actually quite comforting, because Roger Moore was such a wonderful, kind, funny person.

[@jivebunny3765]

Geoffrey certainly has his father's self deprecating sense of humour. That wig comment made me LOL. Also from a distance, he looks like Roger, although not so much up close, but he does have the mannerisms.

[@josephlewis9237]

Incredible! He looks like his father, has his father's mannerisms, he dresses like his father and sounds almost like his father.

[@CatsandJP]

This just proves what a gentleman Roger was…to pass on his manners and upbringing to his son as a gentleman is a wonderful legacy. ❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@UmarSharif]

Absolutely!!!!! 💖💖💖💖💖

[@richardharibo]

Amazing 😍 he even has his Dad's mannerisms. My favourite 007

[@stellarjames1314]

Kinda pathetic really. My dad played a fictional character and now I’ll pretend I’m that fictional character

Geoffrey Moore sounds a lot like his Dad and even has many of his mannerisms. He's also inherited the famous Roger Moore eyebrows.

[@vsboy2577]

The old bonds are such masterpieces

[@commanderkeen3787]

He sounds exactly like his dad too. He could literally do voice-overs for his dad

[@smooth111012]

Wow looks and sounds like his dad. He could be a great Bond

[@callumbarrington898]

Geoffrey says 7 was an important number to his dad and there are plenty more connections beyond those he mentions- Roger made 7 Bond films and was 57 when he last played him. He was born in 1927 and died in 2017. Quite remarkable really

[@scottvincent1783]

… absolutely and their family home phone number in Denham ended with 007 😊

[@cortinadale]

And his Hollywood star was 2007

[@danielscott8180]

Imagine if Geoffrey Moore could play James Bond set in the 1970s or 1980s with the same tone, and larger-than-life plot as The Spy Who Loved Me. I would love to see that.

[@richardbeling1835]

The only bond I feel had a sense of humor.

[@richardmonteith2814]

Met Roger on his Moore on Tour gig that he used to do, paid a bit extra for the meet and greet and wasn't disappointing. An absolute gentleman, ask him anything and nothing a problem, a very funny man too with a dry sense of humour. What a life he had, he went on later to a standing ovation at the start of the show and got one at the end as well, so glad to have met him, a great guy.

[@jethrod7487]

the greatest 007 was Roger Moore

[@andrewbyrne7321]

I'm so glad roger is getting so appreciation for his James bond nobody did better like he did😊

Always my favourite Bond star, Roger was the perfect gentleman and his son is his doppelgänger spitting image.

[@stevensanders7262]

Geoffrey is spitting image of his father! Its almost like Roger Moore is sitting there!

[@renekauts8323]

Roger Moore: The best, the most charming James Bond actor ever! He had the best (his last 5)films: 1977, 1979, 1981, 1983, 1985. I think that 1977-1985 was the best time in the franchise! Roger had also the most gorgeous Bond girls, especially Anya Amasova, Corinne Dufour, many Drax's girls, many Octopussy's girls... What a charming man he was! R.I.P. the one and only, true English gentleman agent!!!

[@astront917]

Fantastic Roger was an absolute gentleman and this has clearly passed on to his son His father will never be forgotten, Thanks Roger for everything.

[@parisjackson9310]

You see him being interviewed for a few minutes and you can deduce that?

[@RONI_RRS]

Damn 😍 Roger Moore was a lovable Bond 🤗

[@unigateman]

15 years ago he'd have made a great bond..

Nobody did it better than Roger... charm, wit and panache

[@peterfranks6243]

If you ever watched the opening credits to The Persuaders, it shows Tony Curtis and Roger Moore childhood photos, the one of Roger IS actually this chap his son

[@stephenalanmoore7278]

That's right. Roger Moore said in his autobiography 'My Word Is My Bond' that he did not have a suitable childhood photo of himself that they could use in the opening credits of 'The Persuaders', so the producers had to take one of his son Geoffrey instead.

[@bernardabelsbondchannel]

He is like his Famous Dad🎉

[@crystaldance5731]

My god he is so equally as handsome as his dad he even sounds like him so sauve and debonair stunning man thankyou for showing this ❤️😊

Roger More was always my favourite Bond. I loved him also in The Persuaders. It's good to see his son has inherited his good looks and mannerism from him . R.I.P. Roger Moore.

Rodge was unique, can't replace him. Even son Geoffrey, charming and Bond like in appearance as is his, can't match him. I am sure there was a sizeable chunk from this sale to charity. Rodge devoted so much of his precious time to UNICEF. I am sure there will be a nod to charitable causes from this sale

.. little thing that you all may not know .. during the theme song of the tv show 'The Persuaders' with Moore & Curtis, when they showed photos of Roger Moore and Tony Curtis, only the kid picture of Curtis was legit, the 2 nd photo is not Roger Moore, but of his son Geoffrey, cause Roger Moore said that he didn' t have any kid pictures of himself as a kid at the time so, he gave the producer of the show, a pic of his son Geoffrey

Same here. The very first Bond film that I saw at my local (and now sadly long since demolished) Odeon cinema in Newcastle Upon Tyne was 'Moonraker' (1979). I was just 12 years old at the time.

The Roger Moore sale was arranged LONG before the Freddie Mercury sale, so your claim is wrong.

[@parisjackson9310]

@@nimos1 It doesn't mean they aren't mercenary, but I won't judge the family for that. There isn't an iconic dead celebrity with issue alive who doesn't do this. Just own it. But I read that some of the proceeds are going to charity. That said, since Roger had a widow, the kids may not have inherited as much as they wanted and I'm not aware that they actually have proper careers. They may need the money to support RM's heirs in perpetuity.

Sir Roger Moore's son looks the double of his dad and the way he talks and everything that's amazing. The son is so greedy its all about money at the end of the day.

[@UKWMO]

So he needs the money then…..

[@parisjackson9310]

I understand the sale, for whatever the true reason. When a person dies, often things they hoarded are of no value to the immediate family, having been through this myself. But really, who cares if he looks a bit like his father, it's not unusual. He's nowhere near as handsome as Roger was. Of course he's going to be well-mannered when peddling this auction - the family wants the money. I'm a fan of Roger Moore, not his kids. I'm glad they don't usually seek out the limelight because there is nothing more obnoxious than children of the talented trying to ride on the parent's success. There is a litany of examples in Hollywood showing how tragic that is.

Shameful for the children to sell some of these items

I had that thought at first, though It's common. Remember, he was their father, so they view him differently to the way fans do. Having that stuff hoarded probably seems senseless to them. That said, it does present as a shameless cash-grab.
