In 1962, Dr No’s shoot took place a few yards away from Fleming’s Goldeneye estate in Jamaica, so he would often visit filming with friends.

While during the 1963 filming of From Russia With Love, the author spent a week on the Istanbul set where he helped supervise production and toured the city alongside the producers.

Then in April 1964, he did visit the set of Goldfinger but would die a few months later before the movie hit cinemas.

Last year, one-time Bond star George Lazenby shared Fleming’s “scarily similar’ coronavirus prediction.
