Christopher Lee was some sort of agent as well. However, joining the Sith, becoming an vampire, and cutting down the forests of Isengard are kinda dick moves.
But jokes aside, yes. Old enough he witnessed the last public execution by guillotine in France, met Tolkien personally, and while his tales may have grown a bit, he’s one of the inspirations for Ian Fleming’s James Bond. He famously told Peter Jackson people don’t scream when they get stabbed in the back, they just go “uh”. Also performed heavy metal. He’s genuinely pretty badass.
Roald Dahl was an RAF pilot during the early days of World War II. He got injured and was discharged because of it. I’ve read his autobiography when I was a child, which was quite interesting. Shame that he was anti-semite.
Anyone else breathing a sigh of relief that the childrens author with a overactive libido wasn’t diddling kids?
It’s really just nice that he’s going for their moms.
Imagine growing up and one day mom pulls you aside and tells you why you own a autographed copy of “Where the Sidewalk Ends” 💀
As someone who grew up to be a slut I probably would’ve high fived my mom in that scenario, but I understand I’m weird there
Or making anti-semitic comments like Roald “The Little Bastards’ll Swallow Anything” Dahl.
If I recall, Dahl was some sort of secret agent for Britain during WW2. So not all that surprising that he’d be a p.o.s.
It would be like a CIA agent writing children’s books.
I mean, Julia Child worked for the OSS during WWII and wasn’t a POS (as far as I know).

Was he really that old?
He’s a vampire wizard, of course he was that old.

That’s so cool, I never knew that much about him but that really explains his demeanor and facial expressions. No wonder they look so genuine.
