Theory : Bond and Moneypenny were once lovers in the past

GordoLeiter · September 2012

I just thought about this today, is it a posibility that Moneypenny and Bond may have known each other before joining MI6? Also could they have been a couple at one point? There has got be a reason for them to be so raunchy with each other every single time they are in the same room together.

Ive always gotten the impression that they were like high school crushes or something too.

Perhaps...
I must admit with Moore and Connery's Bond there was something about Moneypenny being with Bond beforehand like in YOLT, I love you scene where Moneypenny tries to get him to say it to her.

Lois Maxwell--the original Moneypenny--said that she believed Bond and Moneypenny had a one-night stand and then became flirty friends, and this is how she played the character.

Ive thought about this too, would make a lot of sense. :007)

I didn't really think too far into how the flirting would have started, but yes, it seems like they must have had some sort of physical relationship at one point, be it brief or extended, that lead them to comfortable flirting from then on.

Sort of like Joan Harris and Roger Sterling on Mad Men. There's a reason he can get away with so much innuendo talking to her.
