Desmond Llewelyn Facts
On why he disliked Americans: In World War II, Desmond was rescued from a German POW camp by an American GI. When he told the soldier he'd been there for five years, the American replied, "Aw, cut it out. War's only been on for three years," forgetting that it was only the United States that had been at war for three years. Upon telling his story to Ian Bulloch, an American stuntman on the set of Thunderball (1965), Bulloch replied, "Maybe the Yank should've left you there!".

Had intended to retire from acting with The World Is Not Enough (1999), since he was 84 at the time of filming.

Attended almost every Bond premiere in Norway.
