Sadly, a Bond has had his last vodka martini, for Sir Rooger Moore, one of the most famous James Bonds ever, has passed away at the age of 89. This was revealed by his family on the actors Twitter account. They also gave a thank you to not only him but to all who supported him and are wishing the family well in their time of grief.

Roger Moore was the third James Bond, and currently holds the record for most Bond films done with 7. But what you may not have known was that Moore was also an accomplished TV star, as he was in numerous TV series that helped him cement himself as an A-List actor, which lead him to being considered for James Bond not once, but twice. It’s for this reason, and many more, that there’s a fierce debate about who is the best James Bond, Moore, or the original, Sean Connery.
Moore does have one of the most popular James Bond films in The Spy Who Loved me, as well as fan-favorites like The Man With The Golden Gun, Moonraker, and of course, Live and Let Die which was his debut Bond film.
Roger Moore will always be my personal favorite Bond, and the world will miss him.
