“I’m Bond, James Bond”: the story behind Sean Connery’s famous line in Agent 007 | TV and Show

This morning the news of the death of the famous Scottish actor was released Sean Connery, recognized worldwide for having been the first to play James Bond, Agent 007.

That saga of films left scenes and phrases to remember. One of them was the main presentation of the agent, saying: “My name is Bond, James Bond.”

That particular slogan is related to the first tape of that saga, The satanic Dr. No, when Connery had to record with Eunice Gayson, who played the “Bond Girl”.

On the set, the actor was in the middle of a card game at the casino when, suddenly, she walked in saying it was “Trench, Sylvia Trench.”

At that time Connery was supposed to answer “My name is Bond, James Bond”, but apparently he was very nervous and couldn’t finish the sentence.

According to Gayson, the Scotsman said things like “My name is Sean Bond” OR “James Connery”, which forced to cut the recordings on several occasions.

At the time, director Terence Young asked the actress to take her colleague out for drinks to calm him down. Fortunately, this had an effect and the scene was a success to posterity.

It should be noted that Connery received the Oscar as best supporting actor for his participation in The Untouchables, in 1987.

His last recognition was the honorary BAFTA, which was awarded to him in 1998.
