Roger Moore’s grave desecrated in Monaco

The grave of Roger Moore, actor best known for having played James Bond seven times, was desecrated in Monaco, according to information from TMZ . It was a fan of the British actor who made the sinister discovery. Coming to pay his respects at his grave, he noted the tearing off and replacement of the actor’s family crest as well as the theft of the miniature model of an Aston Martin, the famous luxury car that he drove in the James Bond saga.

Contacted by the American tabloid, the local police said they had no knowledge of this act of vandalism, as no one had reported it. Roger Moore, who died in 2017 in Switzerland at the age of 89 following cancer, shared his life between Switzerland, in his chalet in Crans-Montana and Monaco.

Humanitarian commitment

The British actor, knighted by Elizabeth II in 2003 for his humanitarian commitment to UNICEF, later played Sean Connery, one of cinema’s greatest James Bonds. From the Serie Ivanhoe (after Walter Scott) to James Bond (Ian Fleming) via Simon Templar, The Saint (based on the novels by Leslie Charteris), without forgetting of course his role in the cult series Kind regards (The Persuaders!), where he played with distinction and casualness the very witty adventurer Lord Brett Sinclair alongside Tony Curtis, Moore always knew how to perfectly embody a certain idea of ​​the English gentleman.

In addition to his role as Unicef ​​ambassador, the actor has been a fervent defender of the animal cause. From his denunciation of the suffering of animals in captivity to his participation in campaigns against foie gras, he denounced the mistreatment of these innocent beings with great liveliness and always with charm. The major British association for the defense of the animal cause, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) posthumously honored his unfailing activism, naming him Person of the Year 2017.
