10 Actors Who Needed Doubles For Ridiculous Reasons

9. Roger Moore Thought His Running Was "Awkward" - James Bond

Roger Moore may have been rather long in the tooth by the time he finally decided to quit the role of James Bond, but did you know that any time the actor ran on screen, across all seven of his films of his tenure, the scene was in fact carried out by a stunt double.

This wasn't due to any physical inability on Moore's part, but that he thought he looked "awkward" when running, and presumably didn't want either himself or the 007 character to look too silly.

After all, Moore's Bond, dressing up as a clown and bedding women decades younger than himself, was the utter pinnacle of dignity. We kid, we kid.

Even so, one suspects these days it's a basic requirement that any actor playing Bond can pull off a badass-looking run.
