Roger Moore, the star of a number of James Bond films, has said that he never wanted to glorify firearms, and that he doesn't even like guns.
Moore played super-sleuth Bond from 1973 to 1985, appearing with a licence to kill in films such as The Man With the Golden Gun and Live and Let Die.
However, he told The Times of Malta that making firearms glamorous was not really his intention, admitting: "I never liked guns, I hate them, I always blink before they go off."
Moore also spoke about how he did not feel that Bond was obsolete in a post 9/11 world: "He's an action hero, a good man fighting evil ... I always looked upon Bond as a giant comic strip. Nothing about Bond is real. I mean the idea that a spy is known by everybody is ridiculous. Imagine, every barman in the world knew Bond and served him martinis."
