Well. Sean Connery announced his retirement at 80. The greatest credit to him is the Royal Society of Chemistry is searching for his look alike for the kind of imposing figure at 80! There would be none either...not someone with his features but some one with that tremendous air about him. If Ian Fleming who changed worlds in 1964 were to be alive, perhaps he would have immortalized himself by recognizing his Bond and the bond viewers had with this remarkable artiste.
From being a Milk man to a body builder to what is actually known today, that's quite a legend. I call this a full life-complete commitment to parents and also to the family. His official website mentions these two tattoos!
I have had a particular liking for his supporting role in the movie 'The Untouchables'. This was one performance which brought him the Academy award for the best supporting role during 1988.
Almost all his movies have brought out the best out of the roles. Not an easy task this-jumping out of the flamboyance of a Bond and stepping into different roles and justifying the role in its true context. To my mind, a true artiste enlivens this bridge not by entirely transforming himself. Perhaps there is no need if one studies the characters as drawn from real life situations. You need a portrayal, not a painted portrait.
Thomas Sean Connery has these variegated parameters in his life as well. Born Scottish to a Catholic father of Irish descent and a Protestant mother,went into the Navy after being a milk man,was a lorry driver,a labourer ,an artiste's model and finally modelled the James Bond for others...
That's about crystallizing a complete life-you lead several within a single life and make them glitter from all angles. You do feel like beginning from any angle yet again. Perhaps at 80, Sean does really!
