In a rare public appearance, the iconic actor Timothy Dalton was spotted recently, looking almost unrecognizable. Known for his portrayal of the suave secret agent James Bond in the 1980s, Dalton joined the ranks of other acclaimed actors such as Sir Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan, Sir Roger Moore, and Daniel Craig as 007 in two Bond films, "The Living Daylights" and "Licence to Kill".
Sporting an all-black outfit and glasses perched low on the bridge of his nose, Dalton blended into the crowds at Los Angeles International Airport. This is quite a change from his usual private nature, as he is rarely seen in public. It's been over 30 years since he last played the famous spy, and his appearance has surely changed over the years.
Interestingly, Dalton was actually considered for the role of Bond several times before he finally took it on. In fact, he was first approached by producers in 1968, but he turned it down, leading to the role going to Roger Moore. In an interview, Dalton revealed that he initially didn't want to take over from Sean Connery, who he considered to be far too good in the role. At the time, Dalton felt he was too young, being only 24 or 25 years old. However, he did eventually take on the role and put his own spin on it.
With his gritty and realistic portrayal of Bond, Dalton's take on the character divided critics and fans. Some diehard fans even consider him to be the best to ever play the role. However, after two successful Bond films, legal disputes caused a delay in production for the third film in which Dalton was contracted to star. Unfortunately, his contract expired during this time, and he ultimately turned down the opportunity to play Bond for a third time in 1993, passing the torch to Pierce Brosnan.
As fans anxiously await news of the next actor to take on the role of 007, speculation has been rampant. Names such as Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Callum Turner, Regé-Jean Page, and Taron Egerton have all been thrown into the mix. However, a source has denied Taylor-Johnson's involvement, throwing a wrench into the theories. Regardless of who takes on the role, true fans will always remember Dalton as one of the best to utter the iconic catchphrase, "Shaken, not stirred."
