10 Most Unusual Demands By James Bond Actors
3. A Body Double For Running Scenes - Roger Moore
While there's a consensus among Bond fans and critics that Roger Moore starred in at least one Bond film too many, ever since his debut in Live and Let Die the actor has requested some unexpected assistance from a body double.
Beyond the obvious and understandable use of stunt doubles, Moore allegedly felt that he looked "awkward" when running on screen, and so mandated that a double be used for any scene in any of his seven Bond films where he was required to run.
On one hand this feels rather like an actor overstating their own neurosis, but on the other it'd be interesting to see just how weird Moore's run actually was.
The use of a double clearly didn't harm the movies any considering how few are even aware of it, though if any Bond era could've gotten away with a 007 who ran a bit silly, it was surely Moore's.
