Chef Gordon Ramsay apologises to Sir Roger Moore over foie gras campaign

09-Dec-2005 • Actor News

Outspoken British chef Gordon Ramsay has apologised to Sir Roger Moore for branding him "two-faced" during their row over the serving of French delicacy foie gras in London restaurants.

Hot-tempered Ramsay accused former James Bond star Moore of being a hypocrite for eating the controversial product and then narrating an anti-foie gras video on behalf of the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) - reports Contact Music.

Ramsay raged, "I think it's a bit two-faced of old Roger.

"At the height of his fame he had no scruples about swanning round top restaurants eating fancy food, and now he's telling us we all have to be goody two-shoes.

"No thanks, Roger. It's not on."

Moore hit back, saying, "(I am not) a hypocrite, rather a concerned person where the ethical treatment of animals is involved.

"It was in total ignorance I used to eat foie gras.

"Once I was made aware of the treatment of the poor birds, I felt sick. I don't think I could ever knowingly eat foie gras again either."

And repentant Ramsay has written a letter to Moore which reads, "I fully understand your point of view regarding foie gras and I just wanted to apologise for any offence that I may have rather clumsily caused to you."
