During the shooting of the movie,Roger Moorehad his daily dose of afternoon naps so that he could rest. This peace was interrupted by Grace Jones when she blasted her music loudly in her dressing room. In his memoir, Moore admitted that he had tried to tell Grace Jones to stop two or three times. When she continued to blast her music, the actor’s rage took over.
“Every day in her dressing room she played very loud rock music that made the walls shake. An afternoon nap was out of the question. I did ask her several times to turn it down, to no avail.”
In his memoir (viaExpress) Roger Moore stated that due to his rage, he threw his chair right against the wall of his dressing room. This created tension between the actors right before they had to do a s*x scene.
“One day I snapped. I marched into her room, yanked the plug out, then flung a chair at the wall. The dent is still there. Still, we had yet to do a love scene together. I slipped between the sheets. She slid in beside me, bringing with her an enormous black s*x toy. Very funny.”
It seems that Roger Moore has a knack for problems during his intimate scenes as in the 1979 filmMoonraker,Moore revealed that the zero-gravity simulation caused severe problems for him.
