George Lazenby goes unnoticed at the Australian Open, `I love being incognito`

James Bond couldn`t have done a better job of hiding in a crowd. Or maybe we`ve all just forgotten about Australia`s only Agent 007, George Lazenby.

All week, he`s been photographed next to big-name celebs such as Greg Norman, Lleyton Hewitt, Kim Clijsters and Mark Philippoussis at the Australian Open, yet the former James Bond has gone largely unnoticed by the media.

Yet the Queanbeyan-bred actor may be one of the bigger stories of the Open. At 64, Lazenby is an expectant father: his wife, US tennis legend Pam Shriver, 41, is expecting in July.

The pregnancy was announced on the eve of the Australian Open, during which Shriver spent most of her time in the commentary box, leaving Lazenby to watch the games with Australia`s tennis greats.

"I love being incognito. I`m not a shy person, but I don`t like being on show," Lazenby said.

He said he was relishing the thought of fatherhood and the age difference between him and Shriver was not a concern.

"Life goes on; you know the bullets are still red-hot."

The couple plan on having the baby in the US, where they will return after a short holiday in Australia.
