Since his inception the fictional superspy James Bond has become regarded as a sex symbol.
Effect on actors
editPlaying the role elevated Sean Connery to a sex symbol.[11][12][13][14][15][16][17]
Craig[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]
Moore[30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39]
When Timothy Dalton was asked about his supposed status as a sex symbol [due to playing Bond] by journalist Benjamin Cook, Dalton whelmingly denied it, but stated that he did suppose that James Bond himself was "a big deal in that way".[40]
