It almost seems safe to say Lazenby not only plays "fast and loose with the truth," but he's a borderline habitual liar. How can anyone believe anything the man says?
Going on along with DoubleN's amplification, there's still a distinct line between a man's memory getting...creative(?) thirty-plus years later, and his being a near-pathological liar.
Well Lazenby proudly talks about how he lied about his acting skills and all sorts of other things to get the Bond part in the first place.
I am Lazenby's biggest fan, but his relationship with the truth, is often, like the brand on M's list, questionable.
