It took some balls to ask him about his baldness, and credit to Connery for taking it in stride.

" these guys were the pros, they were the real thing, sheals"

I love how Sean's face lit up when asked about going bald.

I briefly met Sean in Switzerland at an air show a couple of years before he passed away. I didn’t bother him but it was a thrill to see such a living legend in the flesh.

I love the look of kind camaraderie that Connery gives you when you talk about losing hair. It's like "poor guy, I know exactly what you're talking about, I've been there myself".

90s style of interviewing. Great questions, no social media, and no clickbait, just concise conversation.

I have a close friend that started to go bald in his late 20's. He said "I'm not going bald, I'm just getting more head."

RIP Sean Connery. The true Bond. The only Bond.

Ah, Sean Connery. As a fellow Scot, I can say that he's one of our greatest, recent Scottish heroes who brought such a lasting, global, positive image to our small country. Thanks for the memory, big man

I started going bald in my twenties. After a few years of half-heartedly trying to hide it, I embraced it by getting my hair cut really short (a "number 2" all over). Soon after that I thought, "Why on earth am I still paying someone to cut my hair?" I invested in some electric clippers and I've been doing it myself ever since, which is hugely liberating. My advice to anyone beginning to lose their hair is the same as Mr Connery's - cut it short, the shorter the better. I think the main cause of angst for balding men isn't how they look now, but how their appearance is going to change over time. You can overcome that by just circumventing the process. It's a bit like quitting your job before you're fired. 😊

Sean was excellent in “The Rock. He also acted in many incredible dramas. Grew up watching this genius.

I like Sean Connery

This is a first rate junket interview, to the point, concise and the sneaky personal last question once you get the warning - well done

Sean Connery is the best example of going bald and still look great. ‘’ leave your head be” ……Sean Connery when asked about wearing a wig outside filming.

The warm dewey-eyed look Mr Connery gave the interviewer when he addressed the baldness was wonderful! Like a master taking delight in sharing his wisdom. His description of someone coiling up a wispy rats-tail made me think of a Walnut-Whip! 😉👍🇬🇧

Every guy on the planet, myself included, has pointed to Sean Connery as a role model for hair loss! Now, not everyone has his basic great looks, but emulating his style can go a long way!

I love that he asked the balding question.

The Rock. A James Bond movie in which Bond is a secondary character.

Great interview, you could sense Sean felt like the interviewer knew his stuff and was asking intelligent questions.

Connery seemed to be actually enjoying the conversation, which I wasn't expecting! Usually with these junket things now, actors seem so false, whether they're being overly sincere or comedic or whatever, they're desperate not to make a mistake and get social media-ed to death. Connery, it's as if he's just sat down on a park bench in the sunshine, and is happy to have a random chat for a few minutes.

Legend. As the saying goes, "they dont make them like they used to."

Brilliant actor and greatly missed. So many brilliant films but remember going to see The Rock at our local Odeon, great times.

Great questions, got him talking about things we don't normally hear about in celebrity interviews.

so great that you asked that question and so great how he responded...about the hair that is.

Very relaxed, polite, nice. A real pro, a real man. I'm 49 yo, and baldness begun on my head at 18-19. It was never a serious matter, for me. Thanks also to some guys, like Bruce Willis, and obviously Mr. Connery himself... ❤️😎🍸

This is the best Sean interview ive seen. Sean wasn`t bothered about answering about baldness. Charming interviewer.

His take on guys who sport combovers is hilarious and very true. Looks ridiculous and doesn't fool anyone.

I'be been bald for about 25 years. While I have to watch for the sun and wear a hat or sun protector, and buzz it sometimes 2x a week, I mostly don't miss the shampoo, conditioner, and monthly trips to the barber. I never really looked good with hair. It was dry and couldn't be done in certain ways.

When you are as handsome as Conerry you look equally good either with hair or without it. It doesn't matter too much.

I miss actors like him. The old timers are the best.😊

Great response to the question. I had longer hair all through my teens and 20s and loved it. Noticed I had started thinning at 28 and cut it all off. It was hard at the time because it felt like part of my identity but I can't imagine getting messed up about it. Age and nature take their course, we gotta deal with it and move forward 👍

The very first film I ever saw at the movie theatre was " Darby O'Gill and the little people" ..1963 . I was five. Charming Disney movie with Sean .. Nice memory..

I miss Sean. One of a kind.

One of the best actors ever!❤

Connery was a fascinating guy super smart and well read, tough as nails (you feel you wouldn't want to cross him) but when he smiled or laughed you feel the room kinda lift up.

It took a lot of guts to ask him about going bald. Smart to save that until the end in case he responded badly.

Sean Connery was a true mans man, he was a member of only a handful that graced our screens..

Great questions! Thanks for sharing

Great interview!! 🎉

Very good interview!

Great interview.

You can tell Sean likes his line of questioning.....Sean did not suffer fools lightly ....

Such a great interview, wonderful job Mark! 😎👌🏽

Damned good video clip/interview. Also, thank goodness for compartmentalization.

It seemed like Sean enjoyed that interview.

What a charming bloke. Great little interview, thanks for sharing.

Great interview 💫

Great questions. Much more interesting than the usual.

Very charismatic interview on both sides.

Fun interview. Good questions.

Really great interviewer

Great interview. Unusual but intriguing questions that kept Mr. Connery engaged.

Lovely interview, and a great universally-human moment to break the "movie star" finish. Well done!

This is a great interviewer, fun but good questions!

I have a full head of hair and im 44 i have shaved it off a couple of times just to see what id look like, Sean Connery what a legend

Wonderful "old school" interview. Really dug this one. As a massive movie fan, I have seen SO many junkets. And this one felt refreshing.

Fantastic interview! Loved every second of it! Too bad Mr. Connery is no longer with us!

I’ve always admired Sean Connery, even more as time goes by, especially when coming across such interviews. RIP, Sean Connery, and thanks for making this world a bit more enjoyable.

Met Mr. Connery while he was sitting on his stairs outside his flat in London while he was reading the newspaper . My buddy and I were walking to breakfast about 8 am and there he was … I just said to him good morning , made eye contact and he said good morning … and we just kept walking . I said to my friend , “ well you don’t see that every day …Sean Connery reading the newspaper in his outside stairs … we then laughed our asses off in disbelief 😂

Superb questions.

re baldness: John Wayne was also bald. He didn't care one bit. He said he wore the wig in movies and personal appearances b/c the fans expected him to look a certain way. But when he was on his boat or just chillin' at home, he went au naturale up top

Good interview.

Im 63 and my brother is 57... we both went bald near our 20's... at that point , hair club for men was the "Big thing" for guys loosing their hair and he went for it big time... I had zero intrest in hair pieces, weaves, transplants and all that...I would much rather come to the point of being at peace with oneself and the inner grace that comes from that understanding and self acceptance...my brother got the hairclub thing and believe it or not, he is still wearing it! Im shocked that the company even exists this many decades later and with no advertising...I remember,when he would go in for the maintainence of that thing, I came along once to see the place..Instantly I was greeted by a guy, wearing an obvious hairpiece along with some manufactured confidence.. he tries to sell me on getting the hairclub and I told hims no thanks bro, no interest at all... he seemed shocked.. I loved connery's response to the question... "its no big deal.. just cut it short"... what happens with people who have never come to a point of self acceptance is that, hairpiece or transplant or whatever, inwardly, the issue that bothered them has never been faced, its only been avoided,covered up...I can still see the insecurities still there behind the hairclub guys eyes and false confidence he tried to project....the inner grace that comes to someone who has moved beyond it "Even being an issue" is absent ...its still something that inwardly preoccupies their mind and a secret they have to guard...

dude used to deliver milk to my grandparents way back when.. Stockbridge Edinburgh

great actor and fellow brit, been 3 years since he passed now... I'm not usually hit hard when a celeb passes... because you know I never actually knew them... but his one got me. I remember telling my mum... I said sean connery has died and as I said it my voice kind of broke but I held it together but she heard it. Being british you know you grow up with james bond and then the rock is one of my fav movies. I always like to think of the rock at the end when I think of sean... where he just disappears with that sweet music playing. Dearly missed.

Good interview

Always cool. There's no one else like Sean Connery.

Definitely the best bond of them all 😮.

I'm re watching the old bond movies, what a great man, the perfect bond.

That was so incredibly refreshing to see a real actor interviewed by a real journalist who came prepared with with excellent questions

Connery, along with Yul Brenner, Telly Savalas, and Ed Harris''s thinning hair, all served as inspirations when I was losing my hair . . . as in: "Those guys losing their hair did not detract from their masculinity. Since it works for them, it works for me."

Sean never wore a hairpiece in his private life, nor did he ever have cosmetic surgery, he was always secure and comfortable in his own skin.

I love that you asked him about losing his hair. It’s so easy for people to say shave it or get over it. It’s not that simple to a lot of people. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a celebrity asked that question and I appreciate both the question and answer as someone who worries or stresses about hair loss from time to time. I’m sure alot of celebrities wear toupees or won’t allow that question too but it s interesting to hear what it was like for someone in their position. IMO at least

I started to recede quite quickly at around 21 years old. It didn't take long for me to go with a number 2 all over then a number 1. I've never looked back.

Finding Forester is a movie I always drop the remote and watch. Sean is a man that exudes wisdom like very few other men can.

By the time he landed the role of 007 in the first Bond, 1962's Dr NO, he had already lost enough hair to make the use of a toupee necessary to play the character. But he was still Bond on and off the screen, toupee on, toupee off.

A man's man to be sure

Yeah no one talks to men about the fact their hair may just fall out. it feels like something you should probably touch on during the puberty talk idk

That was cool about the losing your hair question.

Loved him in Highlander love how he speaks

what a great man.

Brilliant film , so glad Arnie knocked it back

An excellent actor and a true movie star!!!

My guy always called the guys with a comb-over a "wrap-around baldy". She is gone now but I still use the term. For the record, my hair was always lustrous and thick until my mid 20s when it started going fast. It has gotten thinner and thinner and is not completely barren on top but so sparse that I just shaved my head for the last 20 years and roll with it. Don't take those hair pills, they seriously neuter you by stopping testosterone production.

I miss his voice ❤

Sean Connery one of best bond s ever.

This interviewer is good. He leads with a completely unrelated question then BOOM Alcatraz. Not like a lot of them who throw some hard BS questions at you.

The truest example of "That's not a bald spot...it's a solar panel for a sex machine." There'll never be another one like Sean Connery..

Like Mark, I am freaking out. On the flipside, Sean’s thoughts about a snake taking off in the wind are exactly what I always thought, except that this metaphor is a really nice way of putting it 🤣🤣👍🏻

Great man

I think he was making a reference/joke towards Bobby Charlton at the end there🤭🤣

I love it!

He really enjoyed that last question, which is fortunate, as I believe he could be a little waspy at times

17 years old and my hair started falling out. Now, at 46, my head is a solar panel for my sex machine. 😅

In a way i was lucky that i started losing my hair at 16 because i never got a chance to get hung up on it. Guys I knews in school who had great hair made part of their personality and grieved its loss. I always appreciated that Connery would wear a toupee in a movie but do press for it with his natural head.

4:56 That look after being asked about having no hair😵‍💫

“Cut it short” yep, no more needs to be said really 😂

My brother had the two best lines about going bald. First, all the way back in high school, a classmate teased, "If you keep wearing that hat all the time, you'll go bald!" To which he replied, "Hey, if I go bald, I'll just wear a hat all the time." And he seriously did not give AF! Later when he was getting widows peaks, he said, "So what? If I go bald does that mean I can't go fishing anymore?" Classic!

Well on balding most men that go bald start losing hair about late 20s before they are 30.... Mine didn't start thinning till about 36 or 37 when I was starting to close in on 40. I thought I was going to be lucky and not go bald because I got through my mid 30s with a full head of hair.

It's a timing thing. I first became aware that my hair was thinning on top 18 years ago. Thankfully the process has been incredibly slow and I just started to cut my hair shorter in the last 3 years. I can still have a number 2 cut and it looks fine. I'll probably have to shave it in around 3/4 years time. I am totally cool with losing my hair at my age now. My mate lost his hair in his late 20's and has still not come to terms with it and he's 59. It is the biggest regret of his life. He feels cheated as apparently he was known for having a great head of hair. I think if I'd lost my hair in my 20's I would also have felt gutted and it would have definitely have affected my luck with women, as it has my mate! Despite what bald men tell you, there are more women out there who want a man with hair, than those who don't.
