"The Other Fellow" - ★ ★ ★ This title, as most ardent James Bond fans know, comes from a historical moment in 1969's"On Her Majesty's Secret Service" when one-time 007 actor George Lazenby brazenly broke the fourth wall by looking at us and saying,"This never happened to the other fellow!" -- a sly reference to Sean Connery's five earlier silver-screen adventures as Ian Fleming's famous secret agent.
"James Bond has a six-pack. I have a keg," quips James Bond, an avuncular New York theater director who tells of a lifetime of suffering through the same lame nod-nod-wink-wink 007 jokes every time he introduces himself. He's also gay, so all those questions about his legendary womanizing fail to amuse him.
The most interesting James Bond turns out to be an older Swedish man who loves the character so much, he changed his name to Gunnar James Bond Schäfer. Abandoned by his father at the age of 2, Schafer adopted the late 007 author Ian Fleming as his stand-in father figure. Shafer wears 007 suits, sports a Pierce Brosnan GQ haircut, stocks an incredible wine cabinet, and has created a 007 museum in Nybro, Sweden.
