This one hurts.
Very sad news has been announced from the United Kingdom.
The Independent reported:
Legendary James Bond actor Sean Connery has died, aged 90.
The Scottish Bafta-winning star played the British spy in seven films from 1962 until 1983.
He died in his sleep in the Bahamas. While a cause is yet to be announced, it is believed the actor had been unwell for a long period of time.
His first appearance as 007 came in Dr No in 1962. His other Bond films included From Russia with Love (1963), Goldfinger (1964), Thunderball (1965), and You Only Live Twice (1967).
He returned to the role twice more in Diamonds Are Forever (1971) and Never Say Never Again (1983).
To say Connery was a giant in pop-culture would be a gross understatement. Thankfully, he had a long life and passing away the way he did is the best way to go.
Akiko Wakabayashi, who co-starred with Connery in 1967's You Only Live Twice (set in Japan), said in a G-FAN interview (by yours truly and Brett Homenick) of Connery, "James Bond in the movie is a ladies' man, but Sean-san is a warm-hearted honest man. He has a clear vision as an actor. He can be stubborn from time to time, but he is a real man with a bit of old-fashioned taste."
