I am often on a Rolling Stones discussion board. There has been a recent post about Mick Jagger walking past Roger Moore in a scene in For Your Eyes Only. Anyone ever heard that before?

No, but there is a five second clip on YouTube claiming to show Jagger in FYEO. A a man who looks like Jagger walks in front of Bond and Luigi Ferrara.
I think it looks more like Robin Askwith! 😂
this has gotta be a question for @Barbel if ever I saw one!
music related and obscure casting trivia related, he's gonna have a definitive answer
Surely the answer is pretty clearly: 'it's not him'? 😄
It's not him.
🤣
How about Robin Askwith? 😄
Ha! Between "Confessions" movies, no doubt!
Confessions of a Bobsleigh Instructor 😄
...and of course Sir Rog would have had to make a cameo appearance in return.
Well you can't always get what you want.
Don't start me up.
'Mick' looks like he's waiting...on a friend.
..Angie, perhaps?
Ruby?
Jagger was gonna be Zorin ?
I hadn't heard that Jagger was going to be Zorin. But I know they wanted Bowie to be Zorin. They asked him, but he turned it down as he didn't like the script.

It would have made a lot of sense to consider Jagger, but he was never really even the actor Bowie was. And it seems they had their heart set on replicating Max Largo from NSNA with the blond look: they even ended up styling Walken to look like Bowie! 😄
if it was Robin Askwith at least it wasn't as bad as his con-man performance in Benidorm.
Well done to emtiem, who spotted that this was indeed Robin Askwith.
The story dates back to OHMSS, when Carry On star Sid James appeared on set with George Lazenby. It was a matter of bitter regret for the producers that they never asked this national treasure to cameo in a Bond film, so when a similar scene popped up in For Your Eyes Only, they wasted no chance in acquiring the services of the Confessions star.

Lol! Wait, are you serious?
Nah, just talking nonsense. That is Sid James with George however.

I think it’s a photoshopped picture of Sid in Carry On At Your Convenience, the exact same pose is in that film.

"Blimey, Bleuchamp, you've got it made here, aintcha, what with all these birds at your beck and call! Phnahh! Phnahh! Phnahh!"
Ruby Windsor:
"Ooooooh, I love a man in a kilt! Do you play boules, Sir Sidney? Nyah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Irma Jacques:
"That's enough of that, young lady!"
Ken Starvo Williams:
"Stop messin' about! Sir Sidney, you can make a start on your preliminary research..."
Sir Sidney Bray:
"Not 'alf! Phnahh! Phnahh! Phnaahh! 'Ere, what happened to yer ear lobes?"
Wasn’t there once a rumour about Ringo Starr popping up in OHMSS? That was nonsense as well if memory serves.
Bowie would have been great as Zorin, he even had an “oddity” (excuse the pun) with his eyes, akin to the physical characteristics that Fleming used to give his villains.
A Bowie theme song would have been great too - not that I’m moaning about what we actually got, just an interesting “what if”.
I think you may have started something with this 👀🤣
I reckon you could make a new thread with lots of these 🤔🍸
@Sir Miles
I'm sure that, rather like the Carry On films themselves, they'd soon start to feel a bit samey. Having said that, I'm tempted to go on to cast Joan Sims as Tracy, Peter Butterworth as Draco, Bernard Besslaw as Grunther, Jim Dale as Campbell, George Lazenby as Bond, Charles Hawtrey as Gumbold, Kenneth Connor as M and Jack Douglas as Q 🤣🤣🤣
@Smithers500
I agree that David Bowie would have made a great Bond villain. Although he passed over the opportunity to play Zorin, I'm sure he'd have been remembered for that part more than for any of his other, artsily respectable film work of the time. Hats off to Christopher Walken, though, who made Zorin indelibly his own.
As another example, perhaps, Bowie would have been a terrific Largo in NSNA, had the character been reimagined as an English villain; his fashionable modernity pitted against Connery's old-school charisma and his pairing with Kim Basinger icily good looking as well as dysfunctional. Maybe Bowie could have written and performed a title song for NSNA, even a whole score, synth-ily Bondian or rock-infused and more impressive than what we actually got.
I think it's fairly striking how NSNA's Largo fairly clearly influenced Eon's baddie in their very next film.
They would have needed a different M in that case, due to Fox's resemblance to Bowie, sort of. Anyway, too good looking, would have outshone Connery, and Moore probably.
