The Life Of James Bond, Explained

There might be plenty of iconic characters in the film industry, but one that is both iconic and has one of the longest-running histories out there has to be the suave secret agent 007, better known as James Bond. Originally created all the way back in 1953 by Ian Fleming, the character of James Bond is older than most of the people who enjoy his thrilling stories. For decades, Bond has gripped audiences with incredible action, tales of betrayal and espionage, and his incredible prowess with people.

With the release of Casino Royale in 2006, Daniel Craig took his turn under the mysterious 007 codename, presenting a Bond who had his entire career as an MI6 operative highlighted right to the character’s death. This Bond stands out as he had a full narrative spread out across his movies with a clear beginning, middle, and end. Fraught with danger at every turn, the life of James Bond was action-packed, harrowing, and at times, bittersweet.

Someone leaned over to me and said, “That’s the real James Bond. Do you want to meet him?” Of course, I said, “Yes.”

It was a strong face, certainly – the eyes pale grey and very cold, the mouth was hard, the dark hair – grey-streaked now – still fell in the authentic comma over the forehead.

This is how John Pearson reacted to his first encounter with the real James Bond, an encounter probably unique in the annals of thriller writing. He went on to write the bestselling authorised biography of Ian Fleming. At the time, like most of the world he assumed that James Bond was nothing more than a character in Fleming’s highly charged imagination. Then he began to have his doubts. Doubts which were reaching such a pitch that the British secret service were trying to warn him off the scent.
