You know what strikes me is that Moore's eyes look significantly bigger in AVTAK than they do in all his other Bond films. I know the guy's aging in the 007 role, but could two years make that much of a difference?

Has anyone else noticed this? Did he have surgery on his eyes or something? Anyone know?

Now don't get me wrong here. I'm big Moore fan, but this is peculiarity that I seem to notice every time I watch AVTAK.

Yes, Rog did have work done. Notice his famous mole is missing from the left of his nose.

Don't really know why he did it, he looked fine in OP, but considering he was 57 then, maybe it seemed like a good idea at the time.

they probably seem bigger because of all the skin shifting he had done around that time...

[capungo]

Haha, This ranks up there as one of the more amusing thread titles.


Seriously though, as our man Bryce said up there, I noticed the mole missing, but to be honest I didn't notice hish larger eyes. Now that you've mentioned it however, how much you wanna bet that that'll be the only thing I can think about next time I see it?

He was also wearing contact lenses I believe, which accentuated any work he may or may not have had done around the eyes between films. It was also noticeable that he'd lost quite a bit of weight since Octopussy which gave him, for me, a slightly haggard look around the face.

I don't know about this facelift business. Since the film he seems to have aged rather naturally compared to say, oh I don't know... Britt Ekland. I'm not saying he didn't have any, but it makes me wonder.

Yup - it was in the news at the time that he'd had the mole done - It definitely had to be done for medical reasons though.

The rest was just to keep up with the times.

Another dandy little thread. I just reviewed AVTAK this weekend. I'd had terrible memories of it and most of those were re-confirmed. But Rog's face wasn't a downer to me. And he didn't look like a "Crinkly", as the British say. His face may have looked a little tight--surgery and weightloss?--but I thought he looked fairly fit and distinguished. Almost youthful for an older spy...but way, way too old to play the man of action or the world's great lover. I didn't notice the eye thing at all. But I'll take your word for it--'cause there's no way I can ever watch that film again!

And definitely not because it had shifted halfway up his face when the rest got pulled up?

Yikes. Just had lunch. Thanks, Mark.

And on the West Coast, fault lines rumble...or is that my breakfast? Yes, Mark, thanks a bunch for the wickedest quip of the week!

I'm pretty sure Roger had some work done at some point. If you watch the James Bond anniversary special he did in 1986 he looks quite a bit younger than he did just a year before in A VIEW TO A KILL. There is also a press photo of Roger from around 2002 or so that really makes it seem like he's had some work done.

[Lady Templar]

Roger Moore had his mole removed and that's all. He didn't have any surgery done except this. And yes, obviously he lost some weight.

Didn't think the mole was THAT big!

[DaveBond21]

I thought his eyes looked bluer and more watery, and he looks orange in the submersible at the end of the PTS, in Siberia!!

AS much as I hate to take public issue with the great Lady Templar, I would have to respectfully disagree. It seems quite obvious to me that he had either an 'eye'job', a facelift, or both. Sir Roger's a wonderful chap, quite the dashing, handsome movie star. But the difference between OP Moore and AVTAK Moore is just too significant to deny. And I believe it's well established that he had the work done.

This may seem like a stupid question, but why did he have it removed?

[stamper]

Maybe because he looked better without it ?

That's usually what stars do (except MJ, who does Plastic Surgery because he looks worse after)

There may have been concern this mole might have been cancerous. I had a huge one removed from my neck for the same reason.

A dermatologist thought one on my back might be cancerous, so he took a sample and sent it to the lab for testing. In the end, it was fine and I didn't need to have the rest removed.

Yeah ok that makes sense.
