Former JamesBond actor George Lazenby has issued a public apology for his inappropriate comments made during a recent franchise panel. 'I am sorry and saddened to hear that my stories in Perth on Saturday might have offended some people.'
George Lazenby may have once played the debonair secret agent 007 in the James Bond franchise, but the actor was recently forced to issue a public apology after his sexually charged commentary during an interview panel resulted in severe backlash. Lazenby was the second actor to take up the role of James Bond after Sean Connery’s initial departure from the franchise in the 1960s. Lazenby made his first and only appearance as James Bond in the film On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY His performance was met with mixed reactions, although it did lead to a nomination for a Golden Globe Award. Lazenby was slated to return to the role for The Man With The Golden Gun but decided to turn it down, citing creative differences with the producers. Even so, as those before him, he played James Bond with the same charm and suave approach to danger and women alike.
"He was homophobic, he swore, he certainly wasn't talking about his Bond movies…He downplayed the Queen a day after she died…It was absolutely unbelievable…At one point he named an Australian cricketer whose daughter he was chasing, and he said he dragged the daughter out of a pub and put her in a car in London, which again is of course horrific…It wasn't even charming, it wasn't even funny. It was creepy, it was offensive...He was disgusting, there's no two ways about it.
Like his fellow James Bond actor, Connery has also received backlash for resurfaced comments made about hitting women. It is clear that times and social standards have changed quite a bit since 007 was first introduced. There is currently a push to see James Bond cast as an ethnic minority or female following Daniel Craig's departure from the part.
