Brit actor Sir Roger Moore has revealed that even though he was very close pals with late actor David Niven, and both had acted in James Bond flicks, they never discussed the 007 agent.
Moore, 81, who enjoyed a 12-year stint as the superspy, says that the secret agent was always a hushed topic between himself and Niven, who played Bond in the 1967 spoof film ‘Casino Royale’.
“I first really got to know him when we made The King’s Thief together in Hollywood in the Fifties,” the Daily Express quoted Moore as saying.
“As the years went by we became much closer friends in the Seventies but we never really spoke about him playing 007.
“I’m sure he would have jested about it at some point but actors generally don’t discuss parts they’ve each played – you don’t see Mel Gibson sitting around talking to Kenneth Branagh about how they both played Hamlet,” he added.
