Sir Roger Moore
The iconic (and also knighted) James Bond actor had his prostate removed in 1993 after being diagnosed with cancer there and went on to live another 24 years, until his death this year at age 89 from an unspecified cancer. Prostate cancer wasn’t the only thing that nearly killed him at an earlier age, The Mirror reported: He barely survived pneumonia in his youth and major heart problems much later in life. “There is nothing glamorous about death,” the 007 heartthrob once famously said…ironic for a man who so often either killed or was nearly killed onscreen!
