Sean Connery is still alive???
Yeah, after all these years, I would imagine Sean has a number skeletons in his closet that he would prefer kept locked up.
Well he always could appear on Celebrity Jeopardy
'I'll take Swords for $100, Alex.'
But man, oh man - - he's gotten better looking with age.....
Would love to see him in a kilt.......
Love his hairy chest.......
(((better close this down before hubby looks over my shoulder)))
hubby....Sean....hubba, hubba.......
I take your mother for 1,000 Alex LOL!
I agree. Sean is, and always be on my 'list'.
Earlier thread:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1454201/posts
"Director Steven Spielberg paid tribute to Connery's status when he said: "There are only seven genuine movie stars in the world today, and Sean is one of them." "
Wonder who the other six are? Tom Hanks, Robert DeNiro, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzegnegger. Drawing a blank on the rest.......
I'd put Gene Hackman on that list of 7, though he hasn't done much lately.
This is the second thread I have seen today about this...I will say on this thread, what I said on the other thread..Sean Connery, was the best James Bond, the others pale in comparison...
Duckbutt...you have echoed my sentiments exactly...as Sean Connery gets older and older, he still retains his sexiness...not many gents(or ladies for that matter), can say that...
I'd put Robert Duvall on the list.
I never sat thru a single James Bond flick, but everything else I saw him in, I liked. And I agree, he has classic good looks, and has gotten better with age.
But, I also admire his unwillingness to do things he doesn't want to do just to stay in the public eye like so many in the business. Good on him!

As Connery is probably my favorite living actor, this isn't happy news to me.
I might summarize this to my wife, but I won't show her the article. She has a wise policy of not wanting to know anything about the private lives of actors she enjoys. This article would be a perfect example of why: he comes off as a cranky, graceless, money-grubbing idiot.

"Although the book was forecast to be a huge best-seller - earning Connery a fortune in the process - the ghost-writer chosen by the publisher wanted to delve too deeply into his private life."
Ah, Sean! You can spill the beans about us. Heck, it's gonna be in MY book, LOL!
His best role - and Michael Caine's - was in "The Man Who Would be King", based on Rudyard Kipling's story:
Dravot's beard seemed to fill half the room and Carnehan's shoulders the other half, as they sat on the big table. Carnehan continued: "The country isn't half worked out because they that governs it won't let you touch it. They spend all their blessed time in governing it, and you can't lift a spade, nor chip a rock, nor look for oil, nor anything like that, without all the Government saying, 'Leave it alone, and let us govern.' Therefore, such as it is, we will let it alone, and go away to some other place where a man isn't crowded and can come to his own. We are not little men, and there is nothing that we are afraid of except Drink, and we have signed a Contrack on that. Therefore, we are going away to be Kings."
Thanks so much for those pics...hes just one gorgeous man...
