The man with the golden pen and lighter and cigarette case

Some interesting facts I learned this evening from the program (yes, program!) I got at the Loew’s Jersey theater where I saw The Man with the Golden Gun:

Roger Moore was the oldest starting Bond; his did his first film in the franchise, Live and Let Die, when he was 45 (he’s actually older than Sean Connery).

Moore suffers from hoplophobia, which is the fear of weapons.  It would perhaps be overkill to point out that this doesn’t seem like a good feature in someone who plays James Bond regularly.

Moore is the longest serving Bond actor to date; his Fleming franchise films span twelve years.
