RIP Sean Connery aka 007

revvharder · 31st October 2020, 18:37

The Scottish actor was best known for his portrayal of James Bond, being the first to bring the role to the big screen and appearing in seven of the spy thrillers.

Sir Sean died overnight in his sleep, while in the Bahamas. It is understood he had been unwell for some time.

He portrayed the character of James Bond the best in my opinion, no one even today can compete him and May his soul Rest in Peace

Rest In Peace, 007. :(
One of my favourite 007 actors. Hope he finds his place above.

Bond....James Bond in his Scottish accent will be immortal forever. He was a legend. Other than his Bond movies, I liked him in The Rock, Entrapment, The Hunt For Red October, The Indian Jones and the Last Crusade to name a few. He will be missed.

RIP. The one & only true Bond.

Nicki Swift channel released a video on Sean Connery just 10 hours before his death. It is a nice tribute to one of the greatest actors we have witnessed.

I was a fan of his post Bond avatar, no one from the age of sixties could have serenaded a young and beautiful Catherine Zeta Jones the way he did in the movie Entrapment. Suaveness just died with this gentleman, what a man and what a life. We have lost too many great men from the world of movies this year and it is not yet over !!

The man who justified the 'Bond' in 'James Bond.

The coolest and most dapper of them all.

RIP. Few like him will walk again.

Did a movie marathon of all James Bond movies a couple of months back.

And no other Bond could find the balance between classiness and ruthlessness.
In fact, read that Ian Fleming was not initially impressed with Connery playing the 007, but later agreed he was apt after seeing him on screen.

The first movie I saw of his was Entrapment and also in one of the Indiana jones movie.

May his soul Rest in Peace.

Oh!! Coincidentally, I was watching The Hunt For Red October last night without knowing his demise.

Sir Sean Connery's voice and accent are legend. The Rock and Entrapment are among my favorite movies.

RIP. The original Bond! I actually liked him best as Indy's father in "Indiana Jones and the last crusade".

The man was an inspiration. That style, that Charisma , that machismo was never overplayed . It seemed to resonate organically from Sean Connery. The man was a true legend. He was the best Bond without a doubt, he portrayed Bond with Humor but also had that tough resoluteness which he could just bring up naturally. I also liked him in the Untouchables and the Hunt for Red October.
