Some James Bond trivia for you here. Due to his receding hairline, Sean Connery had to wear a hairpiece when filming Dr. No. On his first day on set, a rogue seagull stole the toupee directly from his head and fashioned it into a nest.

George Lazenby is the youngest actor to portray 007. When filming On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, he was only 47 years old.

When filming the boat chase in The Man with the Golden Gun, Roger Moore fell into the canal. He made the mistake of opening his eyes underwater and saw a local man forcibly sexing a shovelnose catfish. That is why Moore has such a manic look in his eyes for the rest of the film.

Glenn Close was originally considered to play the role of Octopussy, due to her unparalleled ability to camouflage her skin and secrete venomous ink.

In between takes on Diamonds Are Forever, Sean Connery would don an eyepatch, drive the Moon buggy around the set and start yelling “Arghhh! I’m a space pirate! Give me all your space treasure!” The cast and crew found it highly amusing.

For The Spy Who Loved Me, the Lotus Esprit S1 was fitted with actual ejector seats in case Roger Moore or Barbara Bach suddenly became claustrophobic. A random bout of cramp resulted in Moore accidentally leaning on a button and launching the Bond girl into the bottom of a boat.

While filming Moonraker, Sean Connery got into an almighty clash with Christopher Walken when the latter claimed the last sausage from the catering van.

You can actually visit Scaramanga’s island from The Man with the Golden Gun and challenge a highly skilled hitman to a duel. Around 200 Bond fans die there every year.
