Among 007 fans there is always disagreement about which is the best movie, the best villain or the best gadgets. But if there is one thing that puts them all in agreement, it is to define the true and only James Bond, or Sean Connery. The actor, certainly known for as many prominent roles, died in his sleep tonight at his home in the Bahamas. Her health had not been optimal for some time, and there had been rumors of her problems for years. The Scottish actor had a great career, experiencing golden periods several times before retiring from the show for good.
After spending part of his life doing a thousand jobs, he threw himself into the world of fashion where he was a model and even participated in Mister Universo in 1953. Removed the small roles made on TV and in the cinema at the beginning of his career, he then took off with Agent 007: license to kill, low-budget film that allowed the brand to make another 6, all with his face playing the character of Ian Fleming.
His career continued successfully in films such as Marnie, The Man Who Wanted to Be King and The Untouchables. It is in 2005, after playing a senior writer in Finding Forrester, that Sean Connery he leaves the profession defining himself in an interview as “tired of idiots”. His career earned him an Oscar, two BAFTAs and three Golden Globes, and he was also awarded the title of Sir by Queen Elizabeth II.
Despite a life on the small and big screen, the actor was lately out of the business (even turning down the part of Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings), except for a small appearance as a voice in a 007 video game. The gossip newspapers still saw him at the center, every now and then, of some possible scandal linked to his not exactly exemplary behavior, but the actor has always avoided the limelight after his retirement, thus silencing all chatter.
