George Lazenby, who played the Ian Fleming character just once in On His Majesty’s Secret Service, garnered a 6.85 rating for his performance. Eyebrow-raising Roger Moore, who played Bond in six flicks including Live and Let Die, came fifth with a score of 6.66.

The survey by No Deposit Friend comes as Aaron Taylor-Johnson is tipped to take on the role as the next 007.

No Time to Die and Goldfinger were tied for second place with Judi Dench’s last 007 movie Skyfall in third.

Craig also starred in Skyfall, the franchise’s highest-grossing film, which generated box office figures of $ 1.1 billion.

Stephen Ellis, of No Deposit Friend, said: “Each actor has left their mark on the franchise and contributed to its legacy.

“As a new actor steps into the iconic role, it offers an opportunity to witness fresh interpretations and perspectives breathed into the character.”

This week Mamma Mia and Mrs Doubtfire star Brosnan, 70, backed Taylor-Johnson for the iconic spy role, declaring: “I think the man has the chops and the talent and the charisma to play Bond.”
