[@eileenprose8472]

@@evankelly4346 It was October 1979. It was for the premier of the movie “Meteor”. I was one month into my 13 years as host of “Good Day”, a daily, live morning show that originated in Boston and was broadcast throughout New England. Ten journalists were invited to Flagstaff Arizona and flown, by helicopter, into Meteor Crater for lunch with the stars of the film; Sean, Natalie Wood and Martin Landau.

From everything I have ever read about the two, Sean Connery and Roger Moore were very good, longtime friends. I honestly believe that his comment about Moonraker was not directed at Moore, but rather at the change in tone from the somewhat more grounded early Bond films to the more fantastical Moore Bond films.

[@SalemGhassanHanna]

Very true. And Moore did something similar when Quantum of Solace came out: he publicly criticised the editing that stopped him from following the action sequences but was very clear that he liked Craig's actual performance.

I remember agreeing with Connery's assessment of Moore as bond at the time. But now over the years looking back I've come to appreciate Moore more and more. It was much different than Connery but still iconic and unique and for many he was Bond. I still prefer Connery's version as it was darker and the movies themselves were more in line with the 'Spy thriller' genre. Where the Moore movies were more of a 'family entertainment' vibe. Both Connery and Moore had 'classic' movie's and 'classic' movie scenes that are now the stuff of legend. Cudos to both actors for a job well done. RIP both of you.

[@ELL0305]

Did you know that he left the audition not having gotten the role? At the time, there were many more actors with a lot more experience than he did, and even he admitted later on that he wasn't the strongest actor they auditioned. But the casting director said it had to be him, despite the higher-ups says, because she watched him leave the audition, sling his jacket over his shoulder, strike match off a lamppost and light a cigarette and walk away. She saw how everyone's attention was drawn to him; men looked at him with admiration while the women with desire and she knew that he was the man to play Bond. Because he was Bond. Just a fun fact that I love bc it's just so wonderful and impressive that he was able to achieve what he did, by simply being himself.

You failed it roger Moore is it

[@kresienm9031]

Chuck Norris could play Burt Reynolds

[@chrishuxhold5271]

Sean Connery the original and best James Bond 007 ever.

[@andyrihn1]

Craig was actually closer to the books: using his alcoholism, womanizing, and boyishness to mask deep depression at being a thuggish murderer for his government. Goldeneye is my favorite movie though (Casino Royale is a close second)

[@georgfriedrichhandel4390]

@@andyrihn1 I prefer Octopussy myself but the films you mention are also good.

[@markanthony976]

Sean Connery was the WORST,Period.

[@annalinson3598]

Sean Connery was crap. Only old fucks think he was the best, because they still live in the 'good old days' when rape and sexual harassment were considered 'being cheeky'!!!

[@patrickmchale1950]

I enjoyed Sean Connery as Bond & some of Roger Moore ones. Very classic & memorable.

[@janicecampbell4212]

Too bad you can't say that for today's Bond.

[@moffjerjerrod1579]

Ian Fleming did not choose Connery. He actually did not want him. He called Connery basically a glorified stuntman. In fact it was Fleming's wife who convinced him Connery was right for the role. After Dr. No came out THEN is when Fleming agreed Connery was right. Fleming's wife was right though, and something tells me her feelings were not solely based on Connery's acting chops either!

[@ronnienose8608]

Dana Brocoli was instrumental in Connery getting the part, and Fleming's girlfriend Blanche Blackwell was convinced he had the right charisma for the role. Fleming became convinced that Connery was the man for the job when he visited the set and saw the was Sean moved, which Fleming said was like a cat.

[@markcarey4069]

What??? LMAO

[@melodymakermark]

Whatever her feelings were based on, thank you Ian Fleming’s wife. I think all the Bond actors did a fine job, given what they had to follow.

[@tellurye]

Also dont forget that Ian eventuially liked him so much, almost as an apology for doubting him at first, made sure he added Scottish roots to James Bond in "In his Majesty's Secret Service" out of respect for Connery's Scottish heritage. Ironically, Connery turned that one down and went to Larenzby.

[@tellurye]

@Rough Acres Well before the movie came out, not the book, correct?

[@jayroland7267]

She so wanted him to say I make an effort to stay in shape. 'No I like eating and like drinking!' Moving swiftly on!😄

[@cynsmi]

[@JeffCfreeradiorevolution]
