SON AND GRANDDAUGHTER OF ICONIC BOND STAR GEOFFREY AND AMBRA MOORE REVEAL THEIR INSPIRING IDEA TO HONOUR HIS MEMORY

Geoffrey And Ambra Moore

Dapper, refined and with a dry sense of humor, Geoffrey Moore poses for hello! with his daughter, Ambra at his stylish restaurant Hush in central London, as memories of his father Sir Roger Moore fill the air.

“He was the most wonderful man, always making a joke with a twinkle in his eye,” says 20-year-old Ambra of her grandfather, who played James Bond in seven films between 1973 and 1985 – more than any other actor. He died of cancer on May 2017.

“He was always very supportive of anything I did,” says Geoffrey. “He didn’t take himself terribly seriously and he certainly didn’t think he was particularly talented. He just thought he was lucky.”

For all his incredible success as an actor, Sir Roger always insisted that he was most proud of his humanitarian work for Unicef, for which the Queen awarded him a knighthood in 2003. For this reason, Geoffrey and Ambra are announcing that they are working together on a fundraising project.

“He was very dedicated to Unicef and to using his good fortune for good causes,” says Geoffrey, 53, who has co-written a song, U.N.I. (You & I), to raise funds and awareness for the charity, for which his father was goodwill ambassador for 26 years.

ALL-STAR CAST

It was Ambra’s idea to involve the lipsyncing skills of more than 50 celebrities on the video she has co-produced with her father; they include Liam Neeson, Joanna Lumley, Rupert Everett, David Walliams, Natalie Dormer, Dame Joan Collins, and Sir Michael Caine – all close friends of the legendary star, who also makes a cameo appearance, in what was his last ever filmed sequences.
