George Lazenby, the Australian actor best known for playing James Bond in the 1969 film On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, has announced his retirement from acting.
But unlike his Bond colleagues – Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig – Lazenby played Bond only once.
Speaking to The Guardian in 2017 about why he turned down continuing with Bond, he said: “I had advice that James Bond was over anyway.
In March, Lazenby showed his support for the potential casting of Nowhere Boy actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who is rumoured to be the next James Bond, taking over from Daniel Craig.
