Born in between FRWL and GF. Weird to think that the eroticism codified by the first Bond films was part of an increasingly swinging pop culture in which my parents were young people at the time I was conceived!
DAF was my first Bond film in the cinema, soon followed by a series of Connery-Bond double bills. For me, news of Sir Sean's sad passing means the loss of my childhood matinee idol.
Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.
I was born in '64, the year of Goldfinger, and watching DAF in the cinema - my first brush with. 007 - was the seminal moment in my life, sparking a lifelong love for Bond. I nagged my sister to take me to see all the double-bills of the Connery Bonds which were subsequently re-released in the early '70s.
Those who were born in 1983, the year Connery made a comeback in NSNA, does not count!

I was born on the day when Mei Hama and Sean Connery filmed their scenes on the top of a real volcano in Kyushu, Japan.
"...the purposeful slant of his striding figure looked dangerous, as if he was making quickly for something bad that was happening further down the street." -SMERSH on 007 dossier photo, Ch. 6 FRWL.....
I cant do it like this, since filming of You Only Live Twice did not begin til July 1966, and whatever Connery was doing the day I was born, its unlikely he was playing James Bond. Maybe arguing for more pay but not in character.
Actually Casino Royale began filming January 1966, so depending on how the chaos unfolded, the day I was born James Bond could have been played by David Niven, Peter Sellers, Ursula Andress, Joanna Pettet, Daliah Lavi, Woody Allen, Barbara Bouchet, and/or Terence Cooper. I hope it was Woody.
I was born in 1980, during Roger's tenure. While growing up the Connery and Moore films were frequently on TV. My first memory of a Bond film is Jill covered in gold paint in Goldfinger. I was young enough to be scared by the image.
The first time I was aware of a new Bond film's release was with Licence to Kill. A long family vacation and house-move prevented us from seeing it in theaters, but eventually my Dad rented it on VHS. It's the first Bond movie I remember as a complete film, rather than bits and pieces on TV. It's still one of my favorite Bonds. Nostalgia undoubtedly plays a part, but as a kid I also really liked Diamonds Are Forever and A View to a Kill while as an adult I like them much less.
Since I was born in October the Bond film closest to my birth is For Your Eyes Only, which I've always liked highly for other reasons (primarily for featuring Moore's best performance as Bond and temporarily freeing the series from excess and self-parody).
The first Bond I saw in a theater was GoldenEye. I liked it but by then I was 15 and old-enough to have pre-conceptions about Bond. I had read all of Fleming and missed Dalton, who in mind came closest to the literary 007.
Brosnan didn't left the franchise until 2004 and Craig was announced in 2005. The Bond video game Everything or Nothing was Brosnan's "unofficial" fifth and last Bond film.

Not necessarily....
Anyone here born when Daniel Craig was Bond?
hola
Naci en 1964. Los vi a todos. Y todos me gustaron. Todos aportaron algo al personaje
Two Bonds!
Roger Moore and Sean Connery :-D
Year 1983: Octopussy and Never Say Never
Yes, me! He's six months older but has weathered the years a lot better.
Technically, Timothy Dalton, was, I guess. I was born in between Licence To Kill and Goldeneye.
I admire the precision here!

That mean's that you were born in 2005 or 2006?
Ha, just realised my error! Read it wrong. That's what you get from sneakily going online when you should be working!
Put it this way - if I was married to Posh Spice I'd be called "Thunderballs"

78 So Roger!
I was born in 2003, a year after DAD, so I'm guessing Brosnan.
Brosnan didn't left the franchise until 2004 and Craig was announced in 2005. The Bond video game Everything or Nothing was Brosnan's "unofficial" fifth and last Bond film.
1993 so Dalton technically? Brosnan wasn’t announced until 1994
