    End of a legend. The original and my favourite Bond.

    Also a supporter of Scottish Nationalism I believe.

    Aged 90.

    RIP

    All eyes on Kursk. Slava Ukraini.

    I salute a legend.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,282 ✭✭✭✭banie01


    A storied life, some iconic roles even aside from Bond!
    That said, his last outing as "Bond" is quite probably one of the greatest action movies of the '90's ;)

    Still while he will always be Bond, his legacy is far broader.
    R.I.P Sean.

    Thank you for so many years entertainment. A life lived to the fullest. Brought life to James Bond and other larger than life characters.
    RIP.

    There's no one to help you up there. And don't go stirring up a lot of trouble for us.
    This case isn't ripe yet. Until it is, our policy with Mr Big is 'live and let live.

    Bond looked quizzically at Captain Dexter
    In my job,' he said, 'when I come up against a man like this one, I have another motto. It's 'live and let die'.

    Rest in Peace Sean Connery.

    He played great roles in a lot of good films -The Name of the Rose, The Hill,The Untouchables, The Man who would be King, and The Hunt for the Red October

    ..sad news but he had a full life.

    Well he has lived twice.

    An absolute legend alright.
    I think he exuded the confidence to play James Bond, while a lot of the others just seemed less natural.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,771 ✭✭✭Montage of Feck


    He was one of those actors that came across as very affable and made any film with him in it worth a watch.

    🙈🙉🙊

    In fairness 90 is a long innings for a spy....... being chased by baddies, sharks, crocodiles.
    RIP... best Bond by far.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,234 ✭✭✭xhomelezz


    Another great actor is gone, sad.

    The ultimate icon of cool and savoir faire, his sixties Bond will forever stand the test of time. As a rugged bastion of masculinity, he would be vilified by the outrage mob today. Perennial favourites of mine include The Hill (1965) and The Man Who Would Be King (1975), which display his considerable range and versatility. RIP Commander.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,352 ✭✭✭✭Father Hernandez


    For me, he was James Bond.

    Great age, great career, great life. RIP

    Bond in Live and Let Die was Roger Moore :confused:

    Anyway, RIP Mr Connery

    If he had put his mind to it, he probably would have been a good milkman.

    Very sad news, RIP.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,984 ✭✭✭Stovepipe


    when the filming for "a Bridge too far" had started, he was talking with some of the other actors and soon found out that he was on a lower scale that most. He immediately went on strike and stayed put until his rate was renegotiated. Always knew his worth.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 53,808 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Sad news. Full life of course but it's still sad to hear, he was one of those guys you sort of expected to be around forever.

    Resht in Peace Sean.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,217 ✭✭✭✭B.A._Baracus


    Noooo.
    One of the greatest actors of all time.

    Sure he'll always be James Bond but for me as a kid one of the first exposures of him was playing Indy's dad in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Amazing actor.

    The hunt for Dead October

    Great actor loved him grown up from Bond to Red October to Highlander and Indy he was excellent. Will be missed


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 18,650 Mod ✭✭✭✭Leg End Reject


    An effortlessly sauve and charismatic actor who defied the laws of ageing and became more handsome as the years went on.

    The twinkle in his eye and the accent ... ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,882 ✭✭✭✭Rock Lesnar


    Only sat the young lad down to watch Indiana Jones the last crusade last evening, he was great in that, the chemistry between himself and Harrison Ford made the film even better


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,130 ✭✭✭Surreptitious



    That movie was fabulous. I absolutely loved it. RIP Sean. Gone but never forgotten. You'll live on in your movies.

    The word legend gets thrown around a lot but that man was a legend.

    Look at this movies...

    - the Bonds (of course)
    - hunt for red October
    - Indiana Jones
    - The Rock
    - Highlander
    - The Untouchables

    Shout out to the movie Outland https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0082869/?ref_=m_nm_knf_act_i33 I remember watching it once and it wasn't bad.
