Former 007 George Lazenby on Becoming Bond
Combining a documentary and narrative approach, Hulu's new film Becoming Bond chronicles the life of George Lazenby, the roguish Australian male model-turned-actor who succeeded Sean Connery in the role of James Bond.
Having never acted before in his life, Lazenby won the role of cinema's most famous secret agent but only played the role once, in 1969's On Her Majesty's Secret Service. According to Lazenby, he turned his back on fame and fortune, rejecting a multi-picture and $1 million offer to return as 007. (The franchise ultimately wooed Connery back for one more film before Roger Moore took over the role.)
Becoming Bond is built around Lazenby recalling his life -- from his impoverished, problem child youth in Australia to his days as a mechanic and car salesman to finally his accidental career as a male model and then, of course, the big screen's second James Bond -- and love affairs, which are all reenacted in largely comedic fashion in scenes starring Josh Lawson (Superstore, House of Lies) as Lazenby.
