James Bond star George Lazenby has been spotted walking with a frame out in Santa Monica, California . The Australian actor, 84, recently retired from showbiz as he admitted getting older has ‘taken a toll’. New photos captured the 007 legend – who was the second to play Bond in the 1960s – requiring assistance and appearing frail.
Gripping onto his walking aid, the Australian movie icon was joined by family members for a stroll in the sunshine. Lazenby wore a pair of casual grey trousers and a striped unbuttoned t-shirt, plus a baseball cap to shield himself from the heat. His sighting comes after Lazenby suffered a brain injury in a fall at the end of 2023.
The action star was hospitalised after he fell at his home and was cared for at a California nursing home for three weeks. His manager later shared a photo of Lazenby sitting up in bed, looking chipper amid his recovery. Smiling for the camera, he was tucked underneath his duvet as fans noticed a mighty scar on his head, which people speculated stemmed from ‘one heck of a bang’.
Expressing his gratitude for the professionals who looked after him, Lazenby’s manager wrote on X at the time: ‘Not easy getting old but at 84, George has certainly demonstrated what a fighter he is.’ The veteran actor is known for playing 007 in the 1969 film On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. While he only appeared as the secret agent in one film, it left a real impression on fans of the franchise.
