Ex-James Bond actor George Lazenby: ARON TAYLOR-JOHNSON CAN HANDLE 007 ... And All The Ladies, Too!!!
TMZ ^ | March 24, 2024 | TMZ

Aaron Taylor-Johnson gettin' his license to kill it as James Bond from a former 007 ... who tells us ATJ's got the toughness to handle the secret agent life.

George Lazenby -- who played Bond in 1969's "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" -- gave Aaron his seal of approval ... saying the 33-year-old can handle the stunts, and all the ladies who love a man in a tux.

Worth noting, Aaron's already got a leading lady of his own -- director/producer Sam Taylor-Johnson ... but we get where George is goin'.

Lazenby adds he's pretty sure Aaron doesn't have the part yet ... 'cause when he auditioned for the part back in the 1960s, he went through a bunch of different tests and auditions before he won the role.

James Bond has gone totally international now, according to George ... who points out the character's been played by people of different nationalities over the past 60 years, including a Scot, a Welshman, an Irishman, multiple Englishmen, and George himself, who is Australian.

Because of that variety of national origins, Lazenby says he's fine with wherever the actor happens to hail from ... as long as they do the character justice.

GL's got some advice for Aaron too ...

I think this guy will make a good 007. He needs to cut his hair though. As for Lazenby, he would have went on to make a good Bond if his hippie agent wouldn't have talked him out backing out of a 7 film contract.

George Lazenby, Sean Connery and Daniel Craig were the best three James Bonds.

I have no idea who Aaron Taylor-Johnson is, but I did like George Lazenby as Bond.

No thanks. We need to put James Bond on hiatus until he can be himself again.

I think George Lazenby would have made a good follow up James Bond after Seán Connery.
But articles I’ve read suggest he didn’t really like want the role.

Brings to mind a line from an old song (don’t remember the title): “But its only make- believe”.

If Connery had been in OHMSS, it would have been the best Bond film.

Sean Connery was always Bond, to me; but I really did like Daniel Craig. He brought a new dimension to the character.

I thought he was good in Casino Royale. He had some potential. The next one was okay. Then the last two movies sucked. Daniel Craig acted like he was bored with his role.

Cavill actually lost out to Daniel Craig for the role in Casino Royale in 2005.

His agent told him at the time that Bond was a thing of the past. Lazenby did win a Golden Globe Award for best new actor.

There’s only one Bond, James Bond, but Lazenby was the most underrated of the stand-ins.
