I published this charming anecdote a year ago today.
On this day, in 1927, the actor Roger Moore was born. I never really had a lot of time for actors. They are sometimes well-known because of their acting, but they don’t tend to be great thinkers or philosophers. When Moore died, though, in 2017, I heard this very moving anecdote:
As a seven-year-old in about 1983, in the days before First Class Lounges at airports, I was with my grandad in Nice Airport and saw Roger Moore sitting at the departure gate, reading a paper. I told my granddad I’d just seen James Bond and asked if we could go over so I could get his autograph. My grandad had no idea who James Bond or Roger Moore were, so we walked over and he popped me in front of Roger Moore, with the words “my grandson says you’re famous. Can you sign this?”
As charming as you’d expect…

I just read your original post. I reckon this is a man with a genuine good heart.

I think so. I mean, it’s good to have to financial security to be able to ask “what difference do I want to make?”, but you’ve still got to come up with the right answer. Lots of people jump the other way.

Roger was a class act ! Probably the best Bond too imo 🤗

I think he certainly was the actor who played the character at his clearest. How about that for diplomacy? 🙂
