Nu-Bond doesn't have a heart, says George Lazenby

Quote :

Former James Bond star George Lazenby has criticised the latest 007 movies for having "no heart".

Lazenby, who played Ian Fleming's MI6 agent in 1969's On Her Majesty's Secret Service, shared his thoughts about Daniel Craig's Bond in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly.



"He's a fantastic actor, but [his movies] are more violent, aren't they? It's the way our society has gone," said the Australian actor.

"You can't have someone who's got feelings now. Bond has to be able to shoot someone now and kiss a girl three minutes later. When I did it, it had more heart. There's no heart to the new Bond."

Lazenby's sole outing as James Bond saw the spy marry Tracy di Vicenzo (Diana Rigg), only to see her gunned down by nemesis Ernst Blofeld (Telly Savalas) in the film's final scene.

George Lazenby stepped into Sean Connery's shoes for On Her Majesty's Secret Service
The actor added that he regretted "many times" not being able to reprise his role as 007.

"Especially when I had a baby and another one in the pouch, and I was broke," he said. "I was living with my mother in Australia."

Asked how he felt about replacing Sean Connery, Lazenby replied: "What did I have to lose? I did all my own stunts, and I kept asking the director, 'Did the other fellow have to do this?' That's why the line is in the film: 'This never happened to the other fellow'.

"It made me so famous that when I went back to Australia, well, let's just say I didn't have any trouble getting laid."

Skyfall, the latest Bond movie, opens in cinemas and IMAX screens on October 26 in the UK and November 9 in the US.

All previous 22 007 movies will be released in a Blu-ray boxset for the first time on September 24 to mark the 50th cinematic anniversary of Ian Fleming's character.

"NuBond doesn't get to fuck a woman that looks half as good as Diana Rigg." -- George Lazenby

Wasn't able to reprise the role? Ha! He was more than able, just not willing or smart enough.

George regrets it now?

I swore he quit the role because he felt it was too demanding and that he wasn't being taken seriously by EON.

Of course, over the past 40+ years, I have heard and read other things like

the fans didn't like him so Saltzman and Broccoli caved in to Fans pressure to bring back Connery;

George didn't get along with Saltzman and Broccoli and he didn't follow their orders, like when he showed up at the premiere sporting a full beard and long hair.

George was replaced because OHMSS didn't make any money which is not true.

I still go with him quitting and he should be regretting it.

But of course, at one time or another, some of us will always make a bad decision.l

Fact.

As for Lazenby, well what the hell, Fact.

Just because.

As the saying goes, what a dame.

As much as I like Casino Royale, On Her Majesty's Secret Service definitely beats it in the heart and dame categories.

George kind of has a point. I don't think nu-Bond necessarily lacks a heart, it's maybe more that the heart just isn't well-handled enough. When Craig broods over Vesper, I just don't buy it as much as I'd like to.

When has Bond ever been about having heart? Save a couple instances, Bond never really did the "shoot someone now and kiss a girl three minutes later" thing Laz described because he has "heart."

Dear George Lazenby,

Like shut the fuck up,

Ta,

the other fella.

Wait, how is Lazenby even relevant today? He played "Bond" once, and in his most infamous moments, admitted that he wasn't even Bond.

He's trying to squeeze some more 15 minutes of fame juice and probably hoping he'll get laid again by some hot aussie pussy....probably been hit in the head with a tennis ball by Pam Shriver....

Speaking of Lazenby.

I watched this movie last week and he was in it.

That sentence probably sounds even more ridiculous now that he has an Americanised accent.

I disagree with his sentiments though. Bond should be a bit of a cold bastard, though hopefully in Skyfall Cregg-Bond wll crack a few smiles and jokes.

He's just getting senile.

"Nu-Bond doesn't have a heart"

Lazenby-Bond didn't have balls.

Craig's Bond doesn't have balls anymore, either.

Don't you remember? He laughed when he had them mutilated.

At least Laz-Bond didn't need his grandma bringing him a packed lunch while on assignment.

At least he had some to begin with.

And yet, his penis is still the leading cause of death in 25-30 year-old women.

He should really start disclosing his STDs then.

But Laz Bond went back home to live with Momma while Craig Bond is fucking Bourne's pharmacist.....
