James Bond stuntman, Rémy Julienne, has died from Coronavirus at the age of 90.

The stunt performer was hospitalised two weeks ago in the French town of Montargis after testing positive for coronavirus, and was taken into intensive care.

A relative of the star confirmed that Julienne died on Thursday evening, telling AFP, “What was bound to happen has happened. He left us early in the evening (Thursday). It was predictable, he was on an artificial respirator.”

An MP from the Loiret region and friend of Julienne’s Jean-Pierre Door also confirmed his death to the agency. He said, “Yesterday, he still had plans in his head. The ambition to raise the waterfall to the rank of Art, to highlight men in the shadows. The desire to be useful and to pass on his experience. Rémy loved life. He wanted to live. He fought to the end. His body has left us but it will remain in our hearts forever.”

He said of his time on the film, “They needed someone who was very controlled. It ended up being me. It was the start of a huge adventure.”

His most famous work came in the James Bond franchise, with Julienne working on six films – For Your Eyes Only, Octopussy, The Living Daylights, A View To Kill, Licence To Kill and GoldenEye.
