Lazenby’s performance as James Bond is controversial. Most viewers appreciate his athletic prowess in the part, especially in action scenes, but many have been dismissive - even hostile - toward his interpretation of Bond. Moreover, viewers tend either to find Lazenby’s laconic style cold-blooded, at times callow and humorless, or else perfectly appropriate to the character of a determined and superficially charming spy. Certainly, Lazenby’s Bond is a man less amused by life than that of Connery, less accessible, stoic and resigned. The film’s producers, perhaps mistrusting Lazenby’s ability to carry the picture, took the unusual step of overdubbing Lazenby’s voice with that of George Baker in major scenes in which Bond impersonated Baker’s character. The technique had never been used in a Bond film for a leading actor whose first language was English. It was rumoured that Lazenby had been ‘difficult to work with’.[citation needed] Lazenby subsequently admitted that he had neither the maturity nor the experience to completely understand the studio system.[citation needed] According to an interview with Lazenby, the difficulties were due to director Peter R. Hunt refusing to talk directly to Lazenby, who was too brusque in passing on a request that Hunt’s friends clear a set before filming[1]. Allegedly, there also were personality conflicts with leading lady Diana Rigg, who already was an established star. However, according to director Hunt, these rumours are untrue and there were no such difficulties - or else they were minor - and that he would have agreed to direct Diamonds Are Forever if Lazenby had accepted the contract.

He couldn’t act his way out of a paper bag. OHMSS is considered, by quite a few Bond aficionados, to be the best Bond script of all, but he almost ruined the film, and they sensibly never let him play Bond again. Or any other role in any other film!

He didn’t think that Bond would survive the new hippie generation, and thought the contract was asking too much of him.

When George Lazenby was offered ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’ he was the highest paid model in the world.
George Lazenby’s portrayal of Bond has created much controversy. Some say it is the best portrayal of the character. Others are hostile to that interpretation.
When he was cast for the role, the producers offered him a seven picture deal. His manager talked him out of the deal on the grounds that the Bond franchise was out of touch with the times.
The film was the second highest grossing movie of 1969.
In the 1970’s Lazenby went on to produce martial arts films in Hong Kong. The Shrine of Ultimate Bliss (1974), The Man From Hong Kong (1975), and A Queen’s Ransom (1976).
These were to be with Bruce Lee. A planned luncheon meeting with Lee and Raymond Chow to discuss a movie project for the upcoming Golden Harvest Lee film Game of Death (released postumhously in 1978) collapsed after Lee’s sudden death,
These films grossed over 100 million world wide making Lazenby a very rich man.
He also starred in The Kentucky Fried Movie (1977). He gave up his acting career for the stade world of
business and real estate investments.
Lazenby was not the first choice of the producers of ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’. They originally approached Timothy Dalton who declined at the time, thinking he was way too young for the role. Dalton would accept after the Roger Moore franchise had burnt out.
