As a seasoned movie critic with decades of experience under my belt, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing some truly iconic performances on the silver screen. One such performance that left an indelible mark on me was George Lazenby‘s portrayal of James Bond in “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.” So it came as a bittersweet surprise to learn that the Australian actor, who made history as the second actor to don the tuxedo and play 007, has announced his retirement.
George Lazenby, famously recognized for portraying the iconic James Bond character in “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service,” has declared his decision to retire from acting.
Using a more conversational tone, Lazenby shared on Instagram and other platforms that he has decided to retire from acting and public appearances. He expressed that this was a difficult choice to make but felt it was the right time to step back.
Starting from today, I’ve decided to retire from acting and withdrawing myself from public events, including giving interviews and signing autographs. The experience has been enjoyable, but aging isn’t something I look forward to.
I’m grateful to have Anders Frejdh as both my manager and friend since 2013. He’s been an invaluable support and the best representation I’ve ever had.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity to devote more time to my loved ones now. A heartfelt thank you to all of you for your care and kindness throughout the years. Your appreciation has truly made a difference in my life. Best regards, George.”
Making this announcement with a heavy heart, I must share that I’ve decided to retire from my career. Consequently, you won’t find me acting in productions or gracing public events anymore. There will be no more interviews for me or signing of autographs, effective immediately. The journey has been an enjoyable one, but aging catches up with us all.

An Australian actor played James Bond in just one movie, making him the actor with the briefest time as 007 out of all those who followed.
After appearing in “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service,” Lazenby continued to act in different television programs, movies, and documentaries.
Lately, Lazenby expressed his agreement regarding the persistent speculation surrounding the Bond franchise and potential candidates for the lead role.
After Daniel Craig’s exit from the role, there’s been much anticipation about who will take over as the next James Bond in the movie franchise.
Following the gossips about Aaron Taylor-Johnson being the possible new secret agent, Lazenby confirmed to TMZ that Taylor-Johnson is capable of “handling the action scenes and attracting women in tuxedos.”
In the 1960s, when he tried out for the role, Taylor-Johnson went through numerous tests and auditions before ultimately securing the part. This indicates that the role may not be definitively his as of now.
