Wish people would stop calling him 007


He did have an illustrious career after playing that misogynist.

I completely agree, and it’s arguable that his career as international superstar really kicked into gear after his 007 years, but it was obvious that that was always going to be the headline upon his passing. He was Bond to multiple generations. Even my teenage nieces and nephew know him for that role.

I grew up NOT watching his Bond movies.

For me, he's from Indiana Jones, Highlander and Entrapment.

I like him looking old and don't like the clean cut looking, misogynist character he played in 007 movies.

I know what you mean. For me the quintessential James Bonds were Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan.

When playing James Bond is just the Cherry on top of your acting career, you know you were a complete badass
