He's been in showbiz for more than 70 years and is probably best known for playing super suave spy James Bond.

Now a very sprightly Sir Roger Moore, who turned 89 on October 14, is ready to share anecdotes of his extraodinary career with his fans in his new speaking tour, which he's taking around the U.K.

The star dropped into the RTE Studios in Dublin, Ireland, to talk about An Evening With Sir Roger Moore on The Late Late Show on Saturday.
