Becoming Bond

The stranger-than-fiction true story of George Lazenby, a poor Australian car mechanic who, through an unbelievable set of circumstances, landed the role of James Bond despite having never acted a day in his life. The film employs re-enacted dramatizations of Lazenby's life interspersed with actual interview footage of him, revealing the early life and casting of Australian actor George Lazenby as James Bond in the 1969 film On Her Majesty's Secret Service. With a blend of humor and wit, Becoming Bond tells the story of how Lazenby's path led to the role of a lifetime, only to have him walk away from it, pursuing a more normal life with his family in Australia.
