ON HER MAJESTYS SECRET SERVICE BIO

Bio on George Lazenby as told by himself on replacing Sean Connery as the new James Bond via 1969.

[@tobylerone8416]

This guy was a great Bond. It's tragic that we didn't at least get a trilogy of Lazenby Bond movies continuing the story arc after his wife is murdered. Would have been epic. Instead we got the dung pile that was Diamonds are Forverer.

[@Mrandrew7777]

My favourite Bond. Lazenby was only 29. Young generation must learn how to look at his age, speak, move, think and behave. Someting inside was so strong in George Lazenby. With respect

[@Mrandrew7777]

Yes you right, I think so too. And one more interesting detail. If great Bruce Lee didn't die they've made 3 good movies together

[@jondunmore4268]

The thing is: Lazza was a hippie at heart. Bond was just an acting job. He proved he didn't like behaving the suave gentleman, by turning up at promo junkets in a scruffy beard and long hair. He wanted Bond to move with the times, with the counter-culture generation. So don't get fooled by his acting job. He was a good guy, but he was not on board with the whole Bond ethos.

[@mrswozzle]

Jon Dunmore disagree. He paid for his own promotional tour of the movie. He simply wanted to bring Bond into the 70’s and had they listened to him, Lazenby/Bond movies of the 70s would have been stunning..a whole new ball game. But they ended up with Moore and a pretty dismal, forgettable decade.. The very first of his, live and let die, strangely enough had a few real touches to bring Bond into that era but they pissed that away. Should have gone to LazenbySavers..

[@FreedomZealot]

I don't think he comes off as arrogant at all; in fact, I'm struck by the candor and self-deprecation in his early interviews and the reflective tone of his more recent comments. What's really interesting to me is that he actually comes off as a bit more Bond-like in the informal interviews than he did in a few of the scenes in the film (which is my favorite Bond movie, incidentally). I think it's a shame he didn't do more Bond films.

he did a great job for that being his first major film role, sadly his agent was an idiot and he didn't do any more after.

herb petrillo how can you say that Connery couldnt have pulled that off? Lazenby is a GREAT bond....the natural successor to Connery...but OHMSS ought to have been Connery’s swan song.

[@Red_brainiac]

@@mrswozzle Connery looked very brutal.

[@kennyburnsfan]

It's my favourite Bond film by a distance, the best directed (the only one I feel is directed by an auteur) and Lazenby is VERY good. Dialogues are crisp and witty and the Scope photography is beautiful compared to the colourless digital images of today's blockbusters. The score is sublime and I love the costumes. Maybe we miss Ken Adam's imaginative designs but Piz Gloria has to be filmed in a real location and the only one available was the Brutalist rotunda atop the Shilthorn mountain. Personal opinion, of course.

[@jondunmore4268]

The direction is good, but admit it - the rear projections in this film are LAUGHABLE! Also, the editing is atrocious during the fight scenes.

[@herbpetrillo163]

Yes.this movie was a masterpiece...great visuals...great story, closest to Fleming's book....

[@mrswozzle]

Jon Dunmore disagree. Front projection was used a lot and it made the fight scenes very thrilling unlike anything from previous Bond scenes.

[@bradleyparker4035]

It was a great Bond movie. As a 14 year old in 2000 to find out there was a man who did One Bond film, at the end of the swinging 60s, was beyond mind blowing. He's not connery, who is? This is a great solid Bond Movie, one of the best. Great way to end the best Bond decade

[@donaldmcauliffe7653]

George was a great james bond he should made more james bond movies his movie on her majesty service service was four stars all the way

[@scottknode898]

He left the role on his accord due to poor advice he received from his acting agent that the James Bond series would not be successful in the 1970s and should not do a multi picture deal. Lazenby was so inexperienced as an actor that he took the advice and thought he could be successful without James Bond which didn’t make the producers happy when Lazenby was telling others including the press he would be better with out the Bond films. Lazenby was difficult to work with and had cocky attitude which turned everyone off. Lazenby decided to leave the role towards end of production as didn’t like the regime he was put through to be bond and the filming schedules along with the pressures of being Bond after Connery left. Lazenby turned down a multi picture deal which would have made him millions and he was offered to come back for Diamonds Are Forever but refused. All together had Lazenby stayed with series he could have done Diamonds Are Forever and option to do 4-5 more Bond films. Lazenby hurt his acting career by leaving his contract and opting to do the Martial Arts films he did which were low budget films in Hong Kong which he thought he could be successful in and wanted to star with Bruce Lee in movies but Lee died in 1973. Besides the low budget films he did he only made appearances in some tv shows although he was one of actors in the war movie Gettysburg. Lazenby chose to do the low budget film Universal Soldier in 1971 rather then return as James Bond for Diamonds Are Forever.

[@donaldmcauliffe7653]

@@scottknode898 George was four stars on her majesty. I am sorry he did not continue he made a big mistake

[@mrswozzle]

Scott Knode a comprehensive but simplistic summation. Lazenby WAS treated like a c*** by the producers and actually IGNORED by the director. They were rude to him even when Saltzman kicked a briefcase of money over to him with his foot and pointed to a contract for him to sign. They were arrogant RUDE b*******, and I THINK it’s important in any aspect of life to be treated with humanity amd respect. The main point however, is that these same b******s sighed his death warrant and ensured that he was blackballed from the entire industry..hence the hong kong film (in which he was portrayed like a c***) and the tiny cameo in Gettysburg.The pieces of s*** who run the industry just love to wield their power, punish newcomers, and teach others the ‘lesson’ of what happens if you dont bow down and suck c**k.

[@gregoryeastwood9068]

Aside from Sean, George was the best Bond.

[@aruiz90]

[@stuartwebster4955]

Good performance from George Lazenby as bond! Real shame he didn't stay on in the roll of 007 because he would have got even better, on her majestys secret service is without doubt one of the best bond films of all time.

[@steverichards575]

Still a better bond than connerys sequels & sir Rogers anti type bond performances . I reckon he was a great Bond . Shame we had no more of them .

[@user-xp2gm8im2c]

Lazenby doesn't fit as Bond in O.H.M.S.S. and in the era of comedy/parody that was coming. That era begins with ''Diamonds are Forever'' and finishes with ''Octopussy''. Moore, especially from ''The Spy Who Loved Me'', was the right man for that time (except ''A View to a Kill'' had to play Dalton). Producers didn't come back to Lazenby, as they did with Connery although he said he left the role, and until now with more conventional Bond films, they didn't provide the role of Bond in a model who is no actor and completely novice.

[@jondunmore4268]

Shame he had no chance to grow into the role.

[@mrswozzle]

Μακης Λ wrong analysis. athe seventies bonds were comedic and silly because Moore could not act. Connery should have bowed out with OHMSS and Lazenby brought in to do a more 70's Bond...that would have been a very memorable decade for the Bond franchise with Lazenby as the best Bond since Connery, And not the 'carry on' movie style that suited Roger Moore.

[@KNIGHTWZTV]

Hes so honest ...he just takes it on the chin, takes the blame and i admire him for that.

[@free_gold4467]

Fascinating! He was a very good Bond, it's one of the very best- he plays very well with the lovely Diana Rigg.

[@CARETAKER89able]

If i had a time machine, i would have changed Lazenby's stupid decision, made him to do atleast one more BOND movie, the continuation of his revenge story from OHMSS

[@vanessalaurence1597]

I liked George as James Bond 007 for the worth of story line James Bond getting married. George had a hard act to follow behind Sean Connery. However other Bond actors wasn’t as close to Sean Connery as George.

[@jakehenry616]

I don't care what anyone says, OHMSS is a great film. Lazenby wasn't a great actor, but it's not like he butchered it. In fact, he nailed that final scene. It's too bad things transpired the way they did. If he continued he probably would have become a great Bond.

Best bond film and George lazenby did a great job as 007 the only travesty was he didn't do anymore ,one consolation for him OHMSS is without doubt a brilliant film from beginning to end ,pure class throughout and with John Barry and the unforgettable theme it's a retro blast that stands the test of time .

[@robertsancho2321]

I think he did a very good job, considering he never acted before. The critics were very hard on him because he was following Sean Connery. Sean Connery had already done five films. If he would have done one more film, who knows.

So great to see those 3 interviews together. Thanks you. OHMSS is my favorite Bond movie.

[@leftyzappa]

He did get a raw deal. I think he did very well and I honestly enjoy On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. As far as the character of Bond is concerned, nowhere else did he show *love*. I understand though. It’s no different than a new singer trying to replace a beloved previous one. I can only think of one instance where that happened. AC/DC. But I digress. Lazenby was a great Bond. 😸

George, please give us your autobiography...you've led an amazing life

[@KNIGHTWZTV]

Thing is.. he may not have had the best start being compared to connery..but history has judged ohmss as one of the closet to flemings books and a real fan favorite, hes had the last laugh , bond has come to an age of realisim it holds up with the bonds of today that is complex and has heart , it now holds up as one of the best bonds , its also better than a few of connerys, moores and brosnans...given the chance he could have been one of the best bonds...peter hunt should have done more too.

[@speedracer1945]

They blacklisted Him in the States after the film . that was wrong , He made a mistake listening to a crappy Manager and paid the price . Karma was that the film became popular and He was in one of the best Bond Films ever . Hollywood looks down on ex Bond stars . Connery was lucky since He was the first an most popular an got work an a Oscar. Moore was in a Van Damme film , Dalton stuck to stage work and Brosnan finds a film here an there.

[@buddywilliams5650]

If only George would have kept at the role of James Bond. But, then again Sean was great in Diamond's are Forever. So it worked out for the better.

[@Godzilla52]

I really think it would have been interesting seeing his portrayal of Bond evolve as the decades went by, i can imagine that the 70s films he would have done as Bond would have been more revenge based and have a more volatile rogue Bond, by the time he got to the 80s i think Bond would be a more calm, but colder character with attachment issues. Would have made Bond allot more interesting in the 80s for sure, since the Moore era was all gadgets and one liners.

[@ontledingen3348]

It seems his independent spontaneous nature got him the part and got him into trouble later.

[@speedracer1945]

He looks better at ease , He tried too hard an the producers wanted Him to act like Connery

[@Gareth3579]

In my opinion he should of carried on into diamonds are forever bringing Connery back in that film may have been a mistake don’t get me wrong Sean Connery is a great bond just didn’t feel right reprising his role again after being one sequel out.

[@dennisbaker1002]

You have it almost right, but Sean should have made OHMSS as his 6th Bond film, quitting as the 1960's ended, George a younger Bond would have fit great in the 1970's as a new Bond.

the same arrogance that chose a short blonde guy for the role was the same arrogance the producers had that fired Lazenby AND MADE SURE HE NEVER WORKED AGAIN. They're all c#%*s out there.

[@scottknode898]

jim bob George Lazenby quit the role, he wasn’t fired from playing James Bond. He put in his resignation towards the end of filming On Her Majesty’s Secret Service as he followed poor advice from his acting agent telling Lazenby that the James Bond wouldn’t last into the 1970s. Lazenby thought he could be successful with out James Bond and didn’t like the stress of the grueling film schedules he experienced as a new actor and fame that went with it along with the pressures of taking over from Sean Connery. He quit the role and turned down an offer to return for Diamonds Are Forever which would have been his next film. He had also received a multi picture deal contract to do an additional 4-5 films after Diamonds Are Forever which would have made him millions but he turned it all down and asked to get out of his contract. Lazenby did have strained relationships with producers and director Peter Hunt but it had to do with his own cocky attitude and difficult behavior on set and acted like he was a big star on set and that should been treated like one.

[@mrswozzle]

Scott Knode You’re right..that is the official story. Personally I think they treated a newbie like a complete @#£& The experience must have been more terrifying than Lazenby let on. In fact the first thing he did after the film was take acting lessons. Nevertheless, even when Saltzman pushed a briefcase full of money o er to him with his foot while he was still on the phone ust have been the last word in rudeness. In any event, the producers made sure HE NEVER WORKED MEANINGFULLY IN THE BUSINESS ever again. So they most definitely are the ones who are arrogant, power wielding scumbags, and Hunt deserved a failed (at the time) movie for treating Lazenby like a doormat.

[@scottknode898]

jim bob your right and Lazenby has said no one helped him with acting lessons during filming or give him advice on how to go through the grueling shooting schedule to get down the role of Bond especially with taking over from Connery who by time he left the role was a big star and Lazenby had big shoes to fill. Lazenby said he had strained relationships with Producers Saltzman and Broccoli along with Peter Hunt the director who wouldn’t Lazenby any sort of advice or guide him.

We have all made mistakes in our past who hasnt,its a great pity that he was cast in the first place as bond , may be his life would have been a lot better he should have married that girlfriend of his before Bond if only a person could go back and do some things differently regrets theres not a person alive that dosent have a lest some.

[@scottryder4963]

Lazeby was good looking dude - tall, broad shouldered with a dimple in the chin like Cary Grant, but he is the worst actor ever to play Bond. He was taken when he was not ready for the role and was asked to emote on screen which he could not. He was challenging the producers when he grew a beard right after the release of the movie and God knows why. I heard that Oliver Reed was almost cast as Bond in this movie but the producers felt his image was too strong to be changed to that of Bond. I wish they went ahead with that choice and then OHMSS would have been a classic Bond.
