Over the weekend, the movie circle came with a heavy bad news:
According to British media reports, the first James Bond (007) actor and actor of the 007 film series died at the age of 90.
His family confirmed that Sean had died in his sleep, having been ill for some time before.
Sean Connery, who has an extraordinary status in the minds of many fans, was the first to give 007 a tone on the big screen.
He has been regarded as one of the best actors to star in iconic spy films, and was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom in 2000, and only celebrated his 90th birthday in August this year.
He is the most handsome white-bearded male star, who is still active on the international big screen when he is over seventy years old, starring in many blockbuster movies.
The handsome Scottish tough guy, tall and with some elusive uninhibitedness, starred in 007's first film, 007: Dr. Noe, in 1962, which became a hit.
That year, at the age of 32, he reached the pinnacle of his legendary film life.
In the 60s and 70s of the last century, in the golden age of male actors, he starred in six official 007 series of movies, including the first one ("007 Russian Love", "007 Goldfinger", "007 Thunderbolt Bomb", "007 Thunder Valley", "007 Diamond").
After playing "007 Thunder Valley", he temporarily said goodbye to this role. In 1969, George Lazabe starred in The Queen's Secret Envoy of 007 (below).
But in 1971, Sean was lured back for a record $1.25 million film and starred in his last official 007 film, Diamond of 007.
But then, Sean Connery refused to play 007 for a $5 million salary and refused to continue playing Bond.
So, in 1973, at the age of 46, Roger Moore became the second 007 actor, and in "The Critical Point of 007's Life and Death", he succeeded Sean Connery as Bond (below).
However, in 1983, 52-year-old Sean Connery starred in a 007 spin-off movie, "007 Extraterritorial Cruise Missile".
Sean Connery had an astonishing success with the 007 film, and he has his own opinion on this.
In an interview in November 1965, he said that "the success of the 007 film has a lot to do with the timing."
"The Bond in the film appeared after the war, when people were tired of rationing, the monotony of the times, practical clothes, and the predominantly gray colors of life," he said. And Bond's presence, with his clothes, his car, his wine and his woman, cut everything apart like a hot knife cutting butter. ”
"Men want to imitate him (007), women get excited about him."
However, such a charming male star who attracts the attention of men and women all over the world is full of gentlemanly feeling on the big screen, but in real life, it is not from the famous.
Instead, he was born in the slums of Edinburgh, where poverty deprived him of the opportunity to receive an education, and at the age of 9 he had to sell newspapers to share in his family's livelihood, and by the time he was a teenager he had to leave school and become a worker.
At the age of 17, he was drafted into the Royal Navy, but was discharged three years later due to a severe stomach ulcer.
He returned to Edinburgh, where he was strong enough to start a variety of jobs, including as a lifeguard. He later pursued a career in bodybuilding, finishing third in the 1950 Mr. Universe competition.
After moving to London, he learned that there was a vacancy in the South Pacific stage play, so he took a crash course in dance and singing, which, surprisingly, he qualified and stayed there for 18 months. Because of this, he stepped into the circle of drama.
In 1954, Sean Connery got the opportunity to make a cameo appearance in "Spring Lilacs", successfully entered the film and television circles, and then starred in the drama "The Battle of the King of Fighters" and the movie "Spring Dreams".
What impressed him more on the screen was in 1959, Sean. Connery starred in the Tarzan series of films, In which he played one of four diamond smugglers.
Then, as we all know, waited for the opportunity of 007.
Later, despite bidding farewell to the 007 movie, Sean Connery's still charming, has been active on the big screen since he became famous, and many people have been familiar with other films he starred in, such as "Iron Mask Selfless", "Murder on the Orient Express", "Brave to Kill Island", "Stealing The Sky Trap", "Skyfall", etc. are all good films.
In 1987, Sean Connery won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his film The Iron Mask.
By the 1990s, Sean Connery was so popular that he played Dr. Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) father Jones Sr. in the hit film series Raiders of the Lost Ark 3.
He also made a cameo appearance in The Prince of Rogue Robin Hood starring Kevin Costner, Richard King, and remains one of the film's highlights.
In 1990, he starred in The Hunt for The Red October, which won the 44th British Academy Film and Television Arts Award for Best Actor in Film.
In his sixties, he was still an indispensable force in foreign markets, and his film remuneration was usually more than $5 million at that time.
However, he also encountered a setback at that time, suspected of suffering from throat cancer.
In fact, as early as 1986, Connery found that his throat grew polyps, and then the polyps were removed and grew out, so Connery underwent an annual physical examination to make sure that the polyps did not become cancerous.
There was a reason for this fear, all of his brothers suffered from the disease, and their father died of throat cancer.
Sean Connery, the older he got, the more charismatic he became, and even as he turned 70, his charisma and influence as a star remained so strong that he was constantly filming and well paid.
In 1999, he was voted "the sexiest man of the century" by People magazine, and from his 007 to 1999 role in "The Trap of Stealing Heaven", he played against the young and beautiful actress catherine Zeta Jones at the time, and he still played very well.
In Sean Connery's body, age seems to only enhance his sexy charm and manliness, and he accurately interprets what "old man's charm" is.
On November 11, 2005, Sean Connery received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Film Institute.
In January 2008, he announced his retirement from film, but he also voiced James Bond's video game and in 2009 he also voiced the animated film Sir Veterinarian Billy, in 2009.
In 2007, shortly after his disappearance, the news came out again that he was re-examining and worried about the lesion. He had been smoking and had been found to have benign tumors in his kidneys.
After the shadow, it is difficult to see Sean Connery again. In 2017, he was photographed walking on crutches and being supported by people, and that scene was still a little sad.
Since the birth of British agent James Bond, code-named "007", 007 has become a cultural symbol that has swept the world for more than 70 years in the fields of novels, television, comics, games, movies and other fields.
Beginning with the first 007 film starring Sean Connery in 1962, the longevity series has launched 24 films with a total box office of more than $7.04 billion and has become the 6th highest-grossing film series to date.
After Sean Connery, george lazarbe, Roger Moore, Timothy Dutton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig played the role.
Currently played by Agent 007, Daniel Craig became the sixth James Bond in 2006's 007: Casino Royale.
For more than a decade, he has successively starred in 007 movies such as "The Great Quantum of Destruction", "The Great Curtain Killing Machine" and "Ghost Party", and is the embodiment of the handsome Bond in the hearts of many young and middle-aged audiences. At present, he starred in his last 007 film, "007 No Time to Die", which has been postponed to next year's release.
However, no matter how handsome the successor is, it cannot replace Sean Connery's position in the minds of fans.
He was gone, but it was the first 007 forever.
