How old is James Bond?

As jamesbond.wikia.com states




Because the James Bond Film Franchise has lasted nearly sixty years, the characters do not age in relation to release of the first film. Rather, Bond is always mid-aged. Likewise, in Ian Fleming's stories, James Bond is in his mid-to-late thirties.




That means he always aged from mid-to-late thirties. With an exception of Moonraker



In Moonraker, he admits to being eight years shy of mandatory retirement age from the 00 section—45—which would mean he was 37 at the time.(source)



But it's the case for the novel, I am not sure about the movie, because I didn't watch it.



If you go with the actors age, George Lazenby was the youngest Bond at 29 years when he was hired for On Her Majesty's Secret Service.



Moore is the longest-serving James Bond actor, having spent 12 years in the role (from his debut in 1973, to his retirement from the role in 1985), and having made seven official films in a row. Moore is the oldest actor to have played Bond: he was 45 in Live and Let Die (1973), and 58 when he announced his retirement on 3 December 1985.(source)
