Actor Sir Roger Moore, best known for playing James Bond, has died aged 89

He played the famous spy in seven Bond films, Sir Roger took the character of James Bond in a more humorous direction than his predecessor Sean Connery. Sir Roger’s Bond was calm and suave – a smooth operator who could seemingly get himself out of a tricky situation with ease.
