In a move that mirrors the recent retirement announcement from Joe Biden, beloved James Bond actor George Lazenby has officially announced his retirement from public life at the age of 84. The news was first reported by The A.V. Club and quickly picked up by Fox News, The Guardian, cleveland.com, and Deadline.
Lazenby, best known for his portrayal of the iconic spy in the 1969 film “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service,” has decided to step away from making public appearances and signing autographs. In a statement, he expressed gratitude for the incredible journey he has had throughout his career but acknowledged that “getting old is no fun.”
Fans of the actor can continue to enjoy his past work on screen, but they will no longer have the opportunity to meet him in person. Lazenby’s decision to retire marks the end of an era in Hollywood, but his legacy as a Bond legend will undoubtedly live on for years to come.
