The much-loved British actor, who made his name on the small screen before taking on the mantle of 007, has passed away in Switzerland.

He was the epitome of the suave English gent, quipping sweatlessly in a bespoke three-piece suit, who enjoyed an acting career spanning eight decades. On Tuesday, Roger Moore’s children announced his death at the age of 89 in Switzerland, saying: “he passed away today ... after a short but brave battle with cancer”.

Moore was best known for playing the third incarnation of James Bond as well as his roles in hit shows The Saint and The Persuaders.

He also devoted a lot of his time to humanitarian work, becoming a Unicef goodwill ambassador in 1991.

Moore also wrote two books about his time as Bond as well as two autobiographies, the most recent of which was 2014’s Last Man Standing.

When asked by Time in 2012 who his favourite Bond was, he changed his mind from Sean Connery to Daniel Craig.

“You can either grow old gracefully or begrudgingly,” he said to GQ in 2008. “I chose both.”

Moore is survived by his wife, Kristina Tholstrup, and three children.

No way!!! My favourite Bond

Bond.....James Bond...

RIP Roger Moore, you were the best 007!

Before I actually look for this story, posting about Roger Moore's passing has been an internet troll fixation for at least 15 years. So let's see if Roger Moore really passed away.....

........Googling...............

Dadgum. It looks like he really DID pass away.

RIP, he was the coolest in my opinion.

He was old.

RIP to the ORGINAL choice for Jame Bond (it was little-known fact that Sean Connery was the 2nd choice)

When I read about this, I was shaken, not stirred.

Same here, no others compare. His battles with Jaws were epic.

And your obituary will read "douche bag".

R.I.P.

I'm sad to hear about Roger Moore's passing. He was my favorite James Bond because I grew up watching his movies. My late father's name just happens to be "Roger Moore" and I used to joke around when I was a kid and tell people that my father is Roger Moore, and they said "No, he's not", LOL. Roger Moore (James Bond) lived a good, long life. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. .

For sure ... his Bonds, even the dodgy ones, were always as entertaining as hell. My two fave Bond films were his, Live & Let Die and A View To A Kill. Watched the latter this evening and raised a glass.

RIP
