He’s in a... league, if you will... of extraordinary gentlemen.

@@fiftyeggs777 and women :)

100% agreed.

WOW I NAME AFTER YOU HANDSOME BLUE EYES THE MOVE YOU MADE IN THE BAHAMAS 🇧🇸 MY NICKNAME IS 007

a true gentlemen, only giving the occasional slap to a woman ; )

If only he had read lord of the rings in his childhood. major ommph on that one old chap. league of extraordinary gentleman was good... but... you know the rest.

@@robertmurry1442 saying that, not many people can pass up on lord of the rings and still end up a Legend.

@@emperorreign6154 still. that speaks for itself. LOTR possibly could have been the biggest blockbuster of ALL time(not saying that it isnt already epicly most badass)

The definitive Bond, and a gentleman, knowing this was coming made it no easier. But he sure lived a full life!

He was the best James Bond

👐🏻 Most definitely The Best 007

Totally agree. My dad adored him. And when he first introduced me to Bond films, I instantly knew why he was so loved. His screen presence was arguably the best among all the actors who played the part. He defined the role so distinctly that every Bond actor after him had his undeniable influence when they took up the part. His swagger, his charm, his confidence and his gentlemanly demeanour will never be forgotten.. Rest In Peace sir Sean!

I saw so many brilliant movies of Sean Connery, the best James bond ever

A very profound statement by Sean Connery!

@@MuzzCat05 I think I understand you! Best wishes!

@@MuzzCat05- I am a Dutchman of 72 living in France. My mother had 11 sons. My father came out of the Second World War wounded psychologically and my eldest brothers started working just after the war, when they were 11, 13 and 14 years old. I am very proud of my brothers whose young lives started not very well. They all did well inspite of this. Yes, I too, do not worry about the pandemic. But I feel very sorry for all the people who lost a beloved relative, friend or job. The pandemic has shown the failings of a very unjust and perverse political and economic system, which has favored the very rich and has demonstrated the contempt for the ordinary working men and women. I hope you are doing okay, too!

He didn't lack anything....

Shaken, not Stirred.

@@scotthamp384 This 👆💪

Yesh.

@@BubblesBubbles He definitely never beat his second wife Micheline, who he was married to for 45 years and who was with him when he died. She sang his praises as a husband. His first wife accused him of beating her, but that was never proven.

​@@lindapirie7021 That was the rant of a divorce n cash craving person . WHY did YOU need to bring it up here ? ?

@@sophieseeker929 No need to raise your voice and post aggressively. Also, I don't know what you're talking about. I was defending Sean Connery against what I saw as unproven accusations.

Wait till Clint Eastwood goes . He will be remembered for a long time and channels will show his movies constantly

What about Tom Hanks?

Yeah, it feels silly and probably a little out of proportion for someone I never met and never knew but I felt hurt and very sad to hear the news that Sean Connery had passed away. Sean always made me very proud to be Scottish, he was a true gentleman and, for someone so handsome, he was always very humble, not often you get that combination, but Sean had it in spades. RIP SEAN CONNERY

dude he was 90......

Kainthemain I’ve lost a bunch of ppl I love this year. You know, maybe related to the pandemic and shit...so uh, hate to see another legend go.

@@lifestyles2482 I cried and I assume it. He was this kind of artists who color your life with his charisma and talent in every movie. I knew since i was a kid i would be sad when Sean Connery would die. He was one in a million. Farewell, Sir Sean Connery, the scottish gentleman who wanted to be a king, and did it.

me and him are from the same place beautiful Edinburgh, Scotland

he's a fucking asshole, trust me

@@JimA-pp2nu shut up, looser

@@JimA-pp2nu - Nobody said he is a saint or perfect!

Why is it that we often forget the simplest things?

Oftentimes it's hard to accept the simple, basic things. Or to keep it that way.

I don’t get it. He learned to read that was his big break? Shit I know how to read but I haven’t become the greatest actor ever

@@johnb.8687 in his day reading wasnt a given guarentee. Most kids worked and got no education

I say this all the time, I don't believe in calling anything the "best" for one simple reason. When something comes to an end, you can rate and decide the best. But, when the arts have existed since before Shakespeare and Mozart and Van Gogh, they will never end. So, while this can be one of the best, it can never be the best. Some say Babe Ruth was the best. I say Willie Mays was the best. However, Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire can never be the best and we all know why. I add this because I will always remember Sir Lawrence Olivier being presented an Academy Award for lifetime achievement and his speech is something I can remember today as mindblowing. Not the best but close. I believe it was 1979. Check it out.

Loved him in the original Highlander movie, the James Bond films, and the third Indiana Jones movie.

He will remain forever as one of Scotland's greatest treasures, a model to us all, men, of what a real man actually is, class, legend.

I’m not Scottish but I wish I was to feel more proud of the existence and legacy of Sir Sean Connery RIP.

Kind of a strech, but the sentiment is well intentioned, without a doubt

Good example of Numerology; where compiling numbers that occurs within your personal life may have some significance....and I think this definitely works here.

❤​@@bobbyjensen264

Add Sir David Attenborough, Baron Lawrence Olivier and Peter O'Toole to that list. All such incredible voices.

Shoveling shit uphill lol good one Sean!

Macleodking Beautifully said. Without those written blueprints, there would be no plays, films nor performances for us to enjoy and remember.

Real talk my friend

That's spot on. The now, late, great Sean Connery was the quintessential James Bond. He brought his all, to the character, and made it iconic. But, it also helped that they were so well written, inspired adaptations of the great Ian Fleming's work. Pierce Brosnon, I think, was very suitable to the role. But, unlike Connery, didn't seem to have the benefit of good writing. This is a prime example of the essential importance of sound writing, in film. It is, so key.

100% miss him so much

The truth has been spoken!

Very true. Even the part about hitting women with an open hand ; )

Daniel Martel very well said

Yes exactly.

i wonder how many feminists want him dead just for that open hand comment.

That is my husband's response every time he orders a drink, even if it's just iced tea. Who else could make a statement so iconic?

Benderbruben why talk about Death when hes still alive?

because people are both dramatic and stupid

Well he live us today. And is a real sad day. Part. Big part of real classy and Magic of Bond leaves with Him. Rest in Peace Sir Thomas Sean Bond

@mike wright kooi

GOD FORBID!!

Adi Adrian check out jack nicholsons second oscar win...its good.

Adi Adrian sorry, meant his afi speech.

I love what you said,and one day he will be gone,and that will make me sad.Thank you for your words on this great actor and person

Well said Steve. We are all destined for the same fate one of these days. Enjoy life. Treat others the way you want to be treated. I'm not sure there's much more to life than that.

Steve Griffiths.....I too was thinking the same thing (about aging) as I was watching this. Time destroys us all....there's no escape....just enjoy the ride of life with family and friends....... and as one of your other commentators said...."treat others the way you want to be treated".

Today is the sad day.

Megan Hallisey )77

Megan you got it right! Sean Connery OWNED that role, the rest were just imitators.

I was born the year before Roger Moore took the reins of 007 so he was my James Bond growing up. But to me, Sean Connery is the definitive James Bond. My father's generation - the Baby Boomers - is lucky indeed to have grown up during that magnificent era.

Oh, all the actors who play Bond know he’ll always be the best one.

i agree The Man !!

Michael Powell this movie was a pure delight. Remember on the plane, DoctorJones shooting the tail all by himself, then saying "Sorry Son. They got us." I think i peed in my pants laughing too much.

The father-son relationship was just way too entertaining! It was my favourite Indiana Jones film!

@@kennethliyanto9833 the balance between Harrison Ford and Sean Connery was amazing... One of the rarest movies where Sean Connery was co starring but where his charisma and talent was not eclipsing the other one, but was cooking a miracle. Not so easy to shine while Sean is your partner! He was naturally the one you remember. In The Rock, I remember him as "the" leading Man. The same in Red October (he was so excellent in it!) But some actors managed to play at the same level, like HF in the Last Crusade. Remember Family Business, with Dustin Hoffman ? A real little gem.

I believe he meant when you die.

***** Growing old sucks.

Janne S Better grow old than die young, I guess

He meant growing old.

no....he meant aging.

He made it another 6 years.

Mine too

Not really,the afi is the highest honor in the movie industry even bigger than the oscars

It just seems that way because there's tons of great actors around.

Wow.. what a collection of books..!

Sean Connery was a Legend.
