Editing Roger Moore (section)

====Moore as Bond====
Moore's Bond was very different from the version created by Ian Fleming and the one portrayed by Connery. Screenwriters such as [[George MacDonald Fraser]] provided scenarios in which Moore was cast as a seasoned, debonair playboy who would always have a trick or gadget in stock when he needed it. This was designed to serve the contemporary taste of the 1970s. Moore's version of Bond was also known for his sense of humour and witty one liners; as Moore himself said, "My personality is different from previous Bonds. I'm not that cold-blooded-killer type. Which is why I play it mostly for laughs."<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/the-times/roger-moore-debonair-007-played-bond-role-for-laughs/news-story/4a633deef28a211c1e48006bbdcb7dbc#&gid=1&pid=1 |title=Roger Moore: debonair 007 played Bond role for laughs|work=The Australian|access-date=26 May 2017}}</ref> Moore said, about his decision to leave the role of James Bond, that "It wasn’t because of the physical stuff as I could still play tennis for two hours a day and do a one-hour workout every morning. Physically I was okay, but facially I started looking…well, the leading ladies were young enough to be my granddaughter and it becomes disgusting." In his opinion, he looked too old to be "hanging around women in their early twenties without it appearing creepy."<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-03-04 |title=Why every James Bond actor quit |url=https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a869479/james-bond-quit-connery-moore-lazenby-brosnan-dalton/ |access-date=2025-03-24 |website=Digital Spy |language=en-GB}}</ref>
