00:00Oh, all right, what's my name?
00:12The overall effect is, wow.
00:18Gigi.
00:19That's Bond, James Bond.
00:24Everyone was nervous about anyone replacing The Bond, who was Sean.
00:28Yeah, that's a big, big name to say.
00:33I admit, in my personal life, I was no...
00:37Saint.
00:38Professionally, on the other hand...
00:41Mr. Moore, why do you think you were chosen to play The Saint?
00:45Because Sean Connery wasn't available.
00:47If he hadn't been so good looking, they would have let him be a comedian.
00:53Roger Moore, 007 for the fifth time and fit as a fiddle.
00:56How do you do it, dare I ask?
00:57I blow the fiddle.
00:59Oh, you must be joking.
01:02My name's Roger Moore.
01:05He just has it.
01:06I'm flirting with James Bond.
01:10The only man's autograph I ever got.
01:12Now the rumour was that he liked the ladies.
01:17I think they must have had this spark and they fell in love.
01:21She had charisma.
01:22I could see why the old man was besotted with her.
01:27Dorothy found out that he was having an affair because he was talking in his sleep.
01:31My mother knew about it when she opened the newspapers and there it was, the new woman
01:35in Roger Moore's life.
01:37Of course he was married four times.
01:39He was Roger Moore, you know?
01:42He had to let other people have a turn to be married to him.
01:47Once Roger found Roger in life, Roger became Roger and embellished Roger, which is a great
01:52talent unto itself.
01:54You know, I think to some degree, actor or not, we all invent ourselves.
01:59You know, we decide somewhere who we'd like to be.
02:05I lived a pretty glamorous life, somehow becoming one of the world's most famous and desirable
02:11stars.
02:14When people asked me about the biggest character I played, I always answered, of course it's
02:19the world's most loved spy.
02:23But my greatest creation?
02:24Ladies and gentlemen, Roger Moore.
02:25Mr. Roger Moore.
02:26Roger Moore.
02:27Well, the truth is, my greatest creation was somebody called Roger Moore.
02:33This is me.
02:35He was very much the Roger that you saw on film.
02:40You know, he was funny, he was charming, he was handsome, he dressed well.
02:46Yeah, Roger Moore.
02:49What a guy.
02:50When a man becomes what he dreams, he dreamt well.
