Why would anyone care what a movie actor wears? Do you mean James Bond, a fictional character? I don’t understand your question. What does it matter what any actor wears?



Assuming you mean that the wealthy don’t drive “cheap” cares, this statement is not true, I guess depending upon the definition of "many". The most popular car among those making more than $200K/yr is the Ford 150. The other top selling cars are the Cherokee, Pilot, Wrangler, and Civic.

How about those millionaires? LeBron James ---- WAIT FOR IT ---- Owns a ----- WAIT FOR IT ---- KIA. Don’t believe it? Look at the picture http://ftw.usatoday.com/2016/05/rich...-nba-cavaliers Michael Dell has a $20K Boxster.

How about some billionaires?
Warren Buffet, Mark Zuckberg, Alice Walton (richest woman in the world), Ingvar Kamprad, and Steve Ballmer all drive “cheap” cars. Bezos is reported to drive a 2006 Accord. Laurene Jobs, a Audi A5. People buy what makes them happy.


Yeah, I touched on why people make these weird assumptions up thread.

I actually do use a straight razor, though not because of Bond. Honestly, other than Moneypenny shaving him in Skyfall, did Bond ever use a straight? I'm a pretty big Bond nut, but I don't recall any other time. He always had Gillette DE's or Hoffritz.

I'm not aware of any other time the movie Bond shaved with a straight besides the scene in Skyfall. He did use a Schick Injector in Live and Let Die, and a Norelco electric in Die Another Day.
