^ It is impressive but then again, Sean Connery was an impressive guy himself.

Most of the time. Pity about his pro Scottish independent stance that on times made him sound quite anti English which I felt was unnecessary. Still he was a great actor and will be sorely missed.

^ Sean wasn't Anti English as far as I knew. Sean was just a nationalist as we all are to varying degrees. Sean loved Scotland and felt Scotland should be free and make it's own decisions but maintain the tight relationship it has with England. With people who are famous actors or artists, there will always be lesser people looking for faults who are motivated by jealousy. Meaning, those who wrote demeaning articles.

I most certainly did and tbh I was disappointed at the time.

To be honest, I had never heard of this interview. Wow, this does put Sean Connery in a different light.

Good night, mr. Bond.

An actors actor imho. Even at the height of his Bond gig his performances in "The Man Who Would Be King", "The Russia House", the gritty: "The Hill", "A Fine Madness", my favorite; Pennsylvania coal mines: "The Molly Maguires"; all showed he could do it all avoiding 007 typecasting to his luminous turns in "Hunt for Red October" and the ensemble cast: "A Bridge Too Far". His outshining of star Kevin Costner in "The Untouchables" rightly earned him a Best Supporting Oscar. Connery's Bond wasn't blunt like equally enjoyable Danial Craig's, but marvelously smooth, sophisticated; the quintessential 007 to all the runner-ups... my vodka gimlets are "shaken, never stirred."

His credibility took a steep nose dive here in the UK at the time.
