Roger Moore'S Fiery Words: Bond'S Co-Star Dubbed A 'Diseased Sex Maniac'

Roger Moore's Daring Stories from the Bond Era

Roger Moore, the beloved actor celebrated for his debonair portrayal of James Bond, was also known for his witty anecdotes and storytelling prowess. Just months before his passing, Moore captivated audiences at London's Southbank Centre with tales that were as shocking as they were entertaining.

Moore's career was filled with memorable co-stars, including the likes of Britt Ekland and Jane Seymour, who have all praised his gentlemanly nature. However, one co-star's behavior left a lasting impression on Moore – and not in a good way.

“He was a very small man and he used to touch me and I used to say, 'Don't touch me. You are diseased,'” Moore reportedly said. “I wasn't being cruel about his size, it was just that he was a sex maniac. He had a lust for ladies, unnatural.”

Behind the Scenes of 'The Man With The Golden Gun'

Released on December 19, 1974, 'The Man With The Golden Gun' is a fan-favorite in the Bond series, featuring the iconic villain Scaramanga played by Christopher Lee, and his unforgettable henchman, Nick Nack, portrayed by Hervé Villechaize.

During his talk, Moore didn't hold back his feelings about Villechaize's off-screen antics, which he described as disturbing. Despite Villechaize's small stature at 3ft 11ins, his behavior was anything but diminutive. Moore's account paints a picture of a man whose actions were as bold as they were inappropriate.

Reflections on a Legendary Career

Moore's candid remarks at the Southbank Centre were a testament to his no-nonsense attitude and willingness to call out behavior he found unacceptable. While his stories often entertained, they also offered insights into the challenges faced behind the scenes in the world of cinema.

His reflections on working with Villechaize serve as a reminder that even in the glamorous world of James Bond, not everything is as it seems. Moore's legacy as a storyteller and actor continues to resonate, offering fans a glimpse into the complexities of his life both on and off the screen.
