Fleming changes his dates and timelines so often in the books that no one really knows how old he is. In the books and movies, it is thought he is in his late thirties but he never ages beyond that. The character was created in 1953 and he first appeared in the novel Casino Royale. Fleming wrote about James Bond in 12 novels and then 2 short stories.
