‘James Bond DOESN'T cry’ George Lazenby wasn’t allowed tears for 007’s dead wife EXCLUSIVE
‘James Bond star George Lazenby exclusively revealed to how he wasn’t allowed to cry in the scene where 007’s wife, played by Game of Thrones' Diana Rigg, is murdered in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.
Back in 1969 the Aussie actor made his one and only James Bond movie, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.
Fans will remember the film concluded with Lazenby’s 007 marrying Game of Thrones star Diana Rigg’s Countess Tracey di Vicenzo.
Yet tragedy struck when Blofeld and his henchman did a drive-by shooting at Bond and his wife, with the latter losing her life.
Now Lazenby has exclusively revealed to Express.co.uk how he wasn’t allowed to cry in that scene.
The 77-year-old said: “Why not, wonder if he will be allowed to shed a tear at the death of his wife.
“I had to do a take without, as Peter Hunt [On Her Majesty’s Secret Service director] said James Bond doesn't cry.”
Despite the revelation, Craig’s Bond was on the verge of crying when Vesper died in Casino Royale and shed actual tears over Judi Dench’s M in Skyfall.
A source told The Sun: “The deal [for Bond 25] is almost done and the idea of returning to On Her Majesty's Secret Service for the 26th movie is really exciting.
“The film sees James get married, only for his wife to be killed, so it would be an explosive way to end [Craig's] reign as 007.”
