The Kung Fu Panda actor and James Bond star are both known for quizzically raising their eyebrows in several movie roles. "I could have been influenced subconsciously because one of my first movie-going experiences was The Spy Who Loved Me," he told Bang Showbiz. "Maybe I pulled my whole persona from Roger Moore." Black added that Moore was his favourite Bond, adding: "Although no-one picks him as their favourite Bond, his stock is now rising." (more) »

Moore And Lumley Spread The Warmth For Elderly Charity Drive

9 February 2012 4:11 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Veteran British stars Sir Roger Moore and Joanna Lumley are backing a new campaign to raise funds to help the U.K.'s elderly during the winter.

The pair has thrown its support behind charity Age UK's Bobble Day, which urges the British public to buy colourful knitted accessories to attach to their winter clothes to raise funds for old folk struggling through the cold season as part of the organisation's Spread The Warmth drive.

Former Bond star Sir Roger, who reveals he was labelled 'The Big Knit' by Sir Michael Caine because of his early days as a sweater model, is eager for Brits to purchase the charitable accessories.

He says, "This 'Big Knit' now supports Age UK's Bobble Day and I'll be urging everyone to wear their favourite knitwear on February 10th: you too could look as debonair, suave and sophisticated as me - Bobble-o-Seven! But more importantly, you will also be helping to save lives by supporting Age UK's Spread the Warmth campaign."

Absolutely Fabulous actress Lumley adds, "Please join me in making a donation to Age UK to help older people who are suffering from the cold this winter. It's a hugely important cause; let's Spread the Warmth together."

Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie Wood's ex-wife Jo is also supporting the campaign. »

Moore enjoyed sex scenes

16 January 2012 11:00 PM, PST | Virgin Media - Celebrity | See recent Virgin Media - Celebrity news »

Sir Roger Moore loved doing bedroom scenes when he played James Bond. The 84-year-old actor - who appeared as the British spy in seven films in the franchise between 1973 and 1985 - wishes he had been able to get up close and personal with more actresses in the iconic movie series. He said: 'I always rather liked the bedroom scenes. I felt we didn't have enough of those really. 'I very much enjoyed being the debonair hero, but I did find it hard to believe Bond could be a spy and yet be so well known by barmen all over »

Bond Stars To Unite For 50th Anniversary Party

15 January 2012 3:06 PM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Six actors who have played James Bond over the years are set to unite at a party to celebrate 007's 50th anniversary in Hollywood.

The superspy from Ian Fleming's books first hit screens in 1962 movie Dr. No with Sir Sean Connery in the lead role, and the other stars to officially play the iconic character in the franchise are Sir Roger Moore, George Lazenby, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and current Bond Daniel Craig.

The actors will be brought together this year for a massive celebration to mark 50 years since the release of first movie, according to Britain's Sunday Express.

The event will take place following the premiere of the latest 007 film, Skyfall, in October and will also include many of the actresses who have played Bond girls over the years, including Ursula Andress and Eva Green.

A statement from the MGM movie studio reveals the party will be the climax of a "whole year of birthday celebrations for 007 in the movies", while Daniel Craig says, "It's an astonishing record for any character to endure for five decades in showbiz but I'll bet this: the franchise is such a phenomenon that in another 50 years time a whole new bunch of actors and their leading ladies will be gathering for another party when Bond becomes a centenarian." »
