Sean Connery

[margojata]

These stories about him being a nasty tool have been around forever. I think Natalie Wood's sister wrote about an abusive incident with him when they were romantically involved (I'm sure he was married at the time).

A friend of mine told me 2 months ago that she works with his son (with Micheline) and got the impression during the course of business she was transacting with her that they live apart.

I had no idea SC had any other kids apart from Jason. How many has he got?

[whatever]

Hmm...IMDB only lists one (Jason), and my friend does not work in the film world.

I suppose it's possible Sean adopted his wife's child, because his last name is Connery.

Is it just me, or does he now sound lless like Sean Connery and more like Darryl Hammond doing a Sean Connery impression for Celebrity Jeapordy?

I picture him still punching women, only dressed in a Bond-y tux, a hundred years old and barely able to make a fist, only landing one in ten blows and even then causing no more pain than a Nerf ball to the cheek. It's more fun doing that than to get angry with an impotent, foolish dinosaur.

He was so stinkin' hot as Bond, but you young whippersnappers don't know what a wasteland of hunkery it was back then. Seeing his old movies today yields an entirely reasonable "meh", but back then? All I could think about was sharing a "flat" with Sean Connery and Robert Conrad. And everyone in Speedos!

Oh, but, you know, his wife was drunk and flirting with other men. He had no choice but to punch her in the face.

Asshole.

I never really found Connery that sexy -- but his contemporary Michael Caine, who's been married to his wife, Shakira, for ages? Now HE is sexy and, from all accounts I can find, a wonderful person.

Setting off to find/start the Michael Caine thread now ... anyone tired of talking about this abusive asshole can come join me.

Don't worry. I never found him sexy either, toupee or no toupee. Not even in a "he's sexy for an old guy" sense.
