Scottish actor Sean Connery died on Saturday (31). He has acted in more than 90 films. For many, he doesn’t even have a conversation – he’s the best James Bond. The secret agent did not hide that charm can always be a weapon. The classic enchanted raised eyebrow.
Sean Connery played 007 seven times. The world began to compare each and every James Bond that came after Sean Connery’s James Bond. Difficult to compete.
The performances soon established the Scottish actor as one of the biggest names in Hollywood. It was brilliant to the point of not being branded as James Bond, which would be a lot. Throughout his career, he collected prominent roles.
How not to remember the father of “Indiana Jones”? And the Franciscan priest from “O nome da rosa”, who investigated mysterious crimes in the Middle Ages? But it was the role of a tough Chicago cop in “The Untouchables” that earned him the highest award in film. The best supporting actor of 1987 followed with strong performances, as in the movie “Hunt for Red October.”
He also worked in political activism. In the 1970s, he donated a film fee to the Scottish National Party. He defended the independence of the country from the United Kingdom. Despite this position, in 2000, Sean Connery received the title of “Knight of the British Order” from Queen Elizabeth II.
To mark the history of cinema forever was not even in the most incredible dream of the Scottish boy. From a poor family, he grew up on the outskirts of Edinburgh. In the cold capital, he grew up in a tenement house with no hot water and a shared bathroom. He was the eldest son of a truck driver and a cleaning lady. He dropped out of school at 13 and went to work. He did everything: he polished coffins, he was a milkman and a lifeguard. The acting career began by accident.
When working as a bricklayer, Sean Connery spent much of his free time at the gym, exercising. In 1953, in London, he participated in a bodybuilding competition. It was at that time that she began to accept some modeling jobs. Then he did a musical, went to television and then to the movies. Thus was born one of the greatest actors in history.
At an awards show in 2006, a journalist asked him, “Looking back, what are you most proud of?”
“I think about the longevity of my career and being invited to make movies today,” he replied.
Sean Connery died at dawn on Saturday (31) at his home in the Bahamas. According to the family, “quietly”, while sleeping. The son said that the funeral will only be for those closest to him. The cause of death was not disclosed.
“There are some things about Scotland that people abroad quickly associate when they think of our country – the scenery, the quality of the whiskey and Sean Connery is definitely one of those symbols as well,” said Scottish Prime Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
“We are in mourning for the loss of one of our dearest children,” he added.
