Story
The stranger-than-fiction true story of George Lazenby, a poor Australian car mechanic who, through an unbelievable set of circumstances, landed the role of James Bond despite having never acted a day in his life.
Summary
In an astonishing turn of events, George Lazenby, once a penniless Australian car mechanic, found himself catapulted into cinematic history when he was cast as James Bond in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (1969). Despite having no prior acting experience, Lazenby's audacious self-assurance and striking resemblance to the iconic spy landed him the coveted role. In a further twist of fate, after being offered not just one but seven more Bond films and an unprecedented $1 million signing bonus, Lazenby walked away from it all, leaving Hollywood stunned by his unprecedented decision.
