Kristina Tholstrup, the widow of the late Sir Roger Moore, turned heads during a rare public appearance in Los Angeles, looking almost unrecognisable from her days as a glamorous Bond girl.
The Swedish-born socialite, who was married to the legendary James Bond actor for over a decade until his death in 2017, appeared strikingly different as she stepped out in casual attire, a far cry from her previous red-carpet elegance.
A Dramatic Transformation
Once known for her impeccable style and striking beauty, Tholstrup opted for a low-key ensemble during her LA outing. Her natural grey hair and minimal makeup marked a significant departure from her polished Bond-era look.
The 74-year-old, who met Moore in 2001 and married him in 2002, has largely stayed out of the public eye since her husband's passing. Their relationship had been one of Hollywood's most enduring love stories, with Moore often crediting Tholstrup for bringing him happiness in his later years.
From Bond Girl to Private Life
Before becoming Moore's fourth wife, Tholstrup had a brief appearance in the 1983 Bond film Octopussy, though not as one of the principal Bond girls. Her connection to the franchise deepened through her marriage to Moore, who played 007 in seven films between 1973 and 1985.
Friends of the couple suggest that Tholstrup's changed appearance reflects her desire for a quiet life away from the spotlight, focusing instead on preserving Moore's legacy and their shared charitable work.
A Life Beyond the Spotlight
Since Moore's death from cancer, Tholstrup has maintained their homes in Switzerland and Monaco while occasionally visiting Los Angeles. Those close to her say she remains active in the charities they supported together, particularly UNICEF, of which Moore was a longtime ambassador.
This rare public sighting offers fans a glimpse into how the former Bond girl has chosen to live her life after the loss of her famous husband - with quiet dignity and far from the glare of Hollywood's bright lights.
