It says on the FAQ that

Quote by Anthony=

 Was Alex Rider based on someone you know?

Alex is partly based on the son of a friend of mine. He came to lunch when I was working on the book. His name is Alex and he speaks two languages fluently. He also does Tai Kwando. Alex Rider looks a bit like him but of course he's also inspired by James Bond. I started writing the books because I thought the actors in the James Bond films were all too old. To be really “cool” I thought Bond should be a teenager.
