I think getting to 90 and living the life he had is a winning ticket in life's lottery. I will mark the occasion with a bit of Bond and a drop of Highlander tonight...
RIP big man.
Put his career on the line to secure fair pay for screen actors. He was quietly a big mover in the film industry outside of what he is known for.
And magnificent in The Last Crusade.

RIP Sean Connery, he played EVERY part as Sean Connery and I think we all loved him for it! A truly sad loss, I loved so many of his films, The Name of The Rose, The Man Who Would be King, The Untouchables and The Rock among many others... As for Bond, he was THE Bond.......

Did the entire Bond marathon during the first lockdown, looks like I’m going in for round two.
Probably an unpopular opinion but I also loved his character in The Rock, which is a guilty pleasure of mine.

A terrific presence onscreen, not just in Bond but so many other films. Even in guest roles (Time Bandits, for example) he lit up the screen. And who else could be Indiana Jones' dad?
Other than Bond my favourites of his would be...
Zardoz
The Anderson Tapes
The Name of the Rose
The Rock
Four very different films but all terrific.

I have a great story about him, but it’s probably not true, though! A mate of a mate was at the 19th hole after a game of golf, also there having dinner with a lady was the great Sean Connery. This guy and his mates had drunk a few and started shouting across at big Sean, things like: “who was the best person you ever shagged, Sean!” It went on a while and Sean simply ignored them, concentrating on his meal and lady. A while later, Sean gets up to leave, he walks past this group of guys (still ignoring their questions), and guides his date to the door. He then stops, turns around, walks back to the group, leans in to the loudest mouthed one and says in his magnificent Scottish accent: “Petula Clark, up the arse.”
RIP to a good man and great actor.
But it’s not really positively shocking is it? The guy was 90. A good innings as they say.
A shocking week for famous people dying. 
I've never been a James Bond fan but appreciate what a great actor he was. RIP to Scotland's finest. Always liked the mentions about him in Trainspotting.

One of my favourite actors, not exactly a surprise but still gutted. End of an era.
It would be wrong of me to bring up, now, the main reason why a regular poster deemed Lewis Hamilton to be unfit to be regarded as Britains greatest ever sportsman.
