Just saw the news, foreign media reported that Scottish actor, 007 pounds actor Sir Sean Connery died in a dream, at the age of 90.
Jason Connery, sir Sean Connery's son and only child, told the media on Saturday that the father died in a long-settled Bahamian home at night's sleep, the BBC reported.
Long life, and not much pain when leaving, it was a fairly happy ending.
But the pain of family parting may not be resolved for a short time, Jason Connery said: "Although my father's condition has continued to be poor, this incident has happened so suddenly that the whole family is trying to accept it." ”
The same is true for Sean Connery fans.
Sir Sean Connery is a household name for Chinese audiences, appearing in seven Bond films from 1962 to 1971, namely Dr. Noir, Love from Russia, Goldfinger, Thunderbolt, Thunder Valley, Diamond Diamond and Cruise Missile.
In addition, Sean Connery is also an excellent method actor, an Oscar, British Academy Award, and Golden Globe winner.
In August, after three consecutive years of invisibility, he was photographed by the media going out to celebrate his 90th birthday, and although his trademark thick eyebrows were covered by sunglasses, his charming smile revealed the demeanor of a superstar.
In the Bahamas, Sean Connery and his second wife, Micheline Roquebrune, live a comfortable retirement life and rarely leave their communities because of the pandemic.
Looking at the sun-drenched lawns, the mansion with swimming pool, and the high-end security, everything is a far cry from Connery's working-class origins.
Born in Edinburgh in 1930 at Fountainbridge, Sean Connery's father Joseph was a truck driver and his mother Effie was a cleaner.
The family was poor, the apartment had no hot water, and a dozen families shared a bathroom.
Prior to fame, Connery worked as a milkman, art model and coffin polisher, and at the age of 16, Connery enlisted in the Royal Navy, but was fired three years later for a stomach ulcer, by which time he had grown to 188 cm.
In the 1950 "Mr. Universe" competition, he finished third in the tall category (6 feet 2 inches tall) under the name Thom Connery.
Not quite matching his height, Connery has been losing his hair since he was 17 years old, and he wears a wig in every movie.
Because Mr. Bodybuilder's career was too short, Connery quickly transformed into an actor.
In 1957, he took an important step in his acting career by playing a minor role in the British police film No Road Back.
Since then, he has had two tattoos, one with "Mum and Dad" and the other with "Scotland Forever".
This rugged and handsome appearance and toned figure attracted the attention of American producer Cubby Broccoli, who recommended Connery to Ian Fleming, the original author of the first 007 film, Dr. No.
Ian Fleming was initially dismissive of him, believing that he was just an "overdeveloped Scottish stuntman", and in Ian's mind, the original ideal actor was Cary Grant. But seeing Connery light a cigarette and say, "Bond, James Bond," he was relieved and even created Scottish descent specifically for the character in later books.
The film cost just $1.8 million in 1962 and grossed $59.5 million, making Sean Connery, 32, an overnight international superstar.
In particular, although Bond is his masterpiece, Sean Connery himself is very disgusted with being labeled, and only made 7 films before announcing that he would give up acting, and the last one even shirked for 2 years to take over.
His good friend, actor Michael Caine, also confirmed the incident: "If a friend mentions Bond, Connery is upset. He knew he was a far better actor than an agent. ”
In fact, the same is true.
1976 Robin and Marian with Audrey Hepburn
In 1986, he won the BRITISH Academy of Film and Television Arts Award for The Name of the Rose.
In 1988, he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for "The Iron Mask".
The subsequent Indiana Jones series, Murder on the Orient Express, The Hunt for Red October... Everything is a classic.
But surprisingly, after this, Connery faded out of the film world, and the reason was because of his insistence on good movies: when filming "Skyfall" in 2002, he almost stopped doing it!
British director Stephen Norrington's unprofessionalism made Connery quite angry, stopping filming for a day with a prop error; a sudden flood in Prague, destroying a $9 million set... How can Connery, who has been filming all his life, endure?
You should know that in order to shoot "Dr. Noe", director Terence Young took Connery to customize costumes, change hairstyles, contact the London high society lifestyle, successfully transformed Connery's image, and the film received thousands of fan letters a week after its release.
Nowadays, the progress of CG technology and the operation of the assembly line of the production mode of large-scale industrialization have also made Connery sigh: "Now the people who make movies in Hollywood are idiots, too many people don't know what they are doing, and they don't dare to say that they don't understand anything."
On the other hand, tired of the endless struggle with the production company over his salary, only to reduce the actual salary given to himself, although he eventually got a salary of up to $27 million, Connery was determined, and even refused the invitation of the higher-paid Indiana Jones 4, announcing the official announcement of the film in 2008.
Emotionally, Connery has dated a string of hollywood beauties, and his first wife was Australian actress Diane Cilento.
It was also the wife who accused him of domestic violence.
In a 1993 interview with Vanity Fair magazine, Connery was criticized for saying that "some women need to be slapped."
Eventually, he fell in love with the French painter Micheline Roquebrune, who has been married since 1975, during which time he openly had a 7-month relationship with British pop singer Lynsey De Paul, and now it is death that separates them.
就，so typical。
Connery was known for his attention to privacy, and he couldn't tolerate any friend or family talking about him publicly. A publisher opened 7 figures to make him an autobiography, and he refused; "The Lord of the Rings" asked him to play Gandalf, and Connery said that "I can't read the script and can't read the book", which made him $450 million less.
The only reason he could leave the island gladly was to visit his only son, Jason, in New York, the only son of his first wife, Oscar-nominated actress Diane Cilento, who died in 2011.
The last time he left the Bahamas was in 2017, and reporters sure enough, he was photographed on the streets of New York, and he was already in need of help from paramedics and crutches.
Connery had settled in Spain because the paparazzi had moved to the Bahamas. The move was thought to be a tax avoidance, which he publicly denied in 2004.
Even in the summer when it comes to hurricane danger, the Bahamas is the perfect haven for him and his wife, and Connery's home is just behind a five-star private club with Connery's own golf course.
As for the ambition to perform, Connery said: "It's a good thing to win an Oscar, but I want to win the U.S. Open Golf Tournament more, and at the end of the day, retirement is so much fun!" ”
Farewell to this Hollywood legend.
