This revelation has left us both shaken and stirred.

Rather than asking Roger Moore to come back to do a reshoot on The Spy Who Loved Me, the James Bond film he made in 1977, they used a painting of the great man instead. Propped against a rock.

As noted on the splendid @SMERSHPOD, a painting of Roger propped against a rock in Spy Who Loved Me, to save a reshoot. Impossible to unsee. pic.twitter.com/80aFaSVpjH — Ali the Catterall (@AliCatterall) August 1, 2017

All was revealed on the @SMERSHPOD podcast, which you can follow here.

You might not have noticed it before, but now you’ll never unsee it.
