Iconic Bond villain Bruce Glover has died aged 92, leaving behind a legacy of film roles, including Walking Tall and Hard Times.
His death was announced by the actor’s son Crispin Glover on Instagram, confirming that the legendary actor tragically passed away on March 12.
Posting a memorable photo alongside his late father and mother, Crispin wrote in the caption, “Bruce Herbert Glover. May 2, 1932-March 12, 2025.”
The James Bond star, renowned for his iconic portrayal of assassin Mr. Wint in the 1971 film Diamonds Are Forever, had previously spoken about his groundbreaking role and experience working with director Guy Hamilton.
During an exclusive 2019 interview for The Original Van Gogh’s Ear Anthology website, Glover recalled, “Guy Hamilton was wide open to every idea I had and a lot of the success of the humour of that film was me. Those were all my ideas.”
Revisiting memories from the past, he further went on to add, “The final moment in the film where Sean Connery does that rude thing pushing the hooha up my yaha and giving that character his final great sexual moment is the biggest laugh in the movie.
“I remember getting a few compliments on that from the Saint, Sir Roger Moore, saying it was the funniest Bond moment of all which I appreciate.”
On the professional front, he was known for his work in multiple TV shows, notably My Favourite Martian, The Rat Patrol, The Mod Squad, Gunsmoke, Adam 12, Mission: Impossible, Police Story, Barney Miller, and CHiPS.
