David Bowie's Hilarious Encounters with Roger Moore: The 'Stop and Chat' Chronicles
The dreaded 'stop and chat' encounters that we all experience in public are not exclusive to regular folks. Even the legendary David Bowie found himself in a peculiar situation with none other than James Bond himself, Roger Moore. According to journalist Dylan Jones, Bowie's move to Switzerland in the late 1970s led to unexpected visits from Moore, who would show up at Bowie's door daily at 5:30 pm, sharing stories about the James Bond films. Bowie eventually resorted to hiding under the kitchen table to avoid these persistent visits.
Despite Bowie's potential involvement in the Bond franchise, he declined an offer to play the main villain in the 1985 film A View to Kill, possibly influenced by Moore's relentless visits. Bowie's amusing attempts to dodge Moore's visits highlight the unexpected and humorous encounters that can arise even for iconic figures like David Bowie.
