Looked most like Bond

I'm not saying he was the best Bond - we all know who that was - but he looked and sounded the most like the Bond of the books, from his posh Eton accent to his public school manners to his ridiculous good looks.


Fleming described Bond as being darkly handsome, in the staid British sense of that term. Fair skinned, with dark brown hair. Moore had the former down pat, but not the latter. I agree he had the posh accent and demeanor, which is testament to just how underrated an actor he was. In real life, he grew up a few blocks away from Micheal Caine's former stomping grounds

I always thought Lazenby looked most like the literary Bond.

Ian Fleming wrote that Bond resembles Hoagy Carmichael. Sean Connery and Timothy Dalton skew more closer to that than Roger Moore did. However, I agree that Moore behaves in a number of ways like Bond does in the novels, having the refined British gentleman persona above all else.

"In the novels (notably From Russia, with Love), Bond's physical description has generally been consistent: slim build; a 3 in (76 mm) long, thin vertical scar on his right cheek; blue-grey eyes; a "cruel" mouth; short, black hair, a comma of which rests on his forehead."

Sounds like Roger Moore to me. /s

Yeah, Sir Roger was unquestionably the best and most charismatic Bond.

Did he look like that crappy Ian Fleming sketch? Perhaps not but then have the vast majority of people who cite that while harping on about being closer to the book version of Bond actually read any of the books? Exactly...

"I'm not saying he was the best Bond - we all know who that was"

Oh, FUCK OFF, I'm sick of hearing how Sean Connery was the "best" Bond, simply because he was the first movie Bond. Did Ian Fleming specify Bond as having THE thickest Scottish accent? NO! So Connery is handicapped from the start!

I would actually say that Moore IS Bond, and it's a pity they didn't pick him the first time round.
