Moore plans autobiography

Roger Moore has finally agreed to write a book on his life - because many of the people he will mention are not around to read it.

Roger Moore has finally agreed to write a book on his life - because many of the people he will mention are not around to read it.

The 80-year-old actor has always put off penning an autobiography, fearing he'd upset his acquaintances on and off screen with his revelations.

However, now most of them have passed away, he's changed his mind.

He tells Dutch Television programme RTL Boulevard: "My wife has persuaded me that I should write my book. Before I forget everything. And which is happening rapidly.

"I never really wanted to write my book about my life, cause I was thinking there were too many people alive, but now, a few are disappearing, so I can write about it."

Moore plans to tell the story of his childhood as well as documenting his rise to fame and his experiences while playing 007 in seven of the superspy films.
