Sir Sean Connery has died at the age of 90, his family has said.

The Scottish actor was best known for his portrayal of James Bond, being the first to bring the role to the big screen and appearing in seven of the spy thrillers.

His acting career spanned decades and his many awards included an Oscar, two Bafta awards and three Golden Globes.

Sir Sean's other films included The Hunt for Red October, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and The Rock.


He was largely regarded as being the best actor to have played 007 in the long-running franchise, often being named as such in polls.

His Oscar came in 1988, when he was named best supporting actor for his role as an Irish cop in The Untouchables.

He was knighted by the Queen at Holyrood Palace in 2000.

In August, he celebrated his 90th birthday.

RIP. One of those people who you're so used to having around it's still a shock even though he reached a good age.

Indeed, he was one of those guys you just kind of assumed would always be around, like Stan Lee was.

Ninety's a good run, especially for a man who drank like he did. Adios, amigo.

It is but it's a shame he was retired from acting since 2003.

Damn, and here I was starting to think he was immortal.

I always loved Darrell Hammond's portrayal of him on SNL. Rest in peace, Mr. Bond.

The penis mightier!
 
Once Trebek arrives, he can fuck with him in Heaven as well (even if that was just Darrell Hammond playing Connery).

RIP, you old man.
 
Rest in peace, old man. You did your best. Now go fuck that prom queen in the sky.
 
As sad as I am to see a legend of the screen pass away, let's face it, passing away in your sleep while in the Bahamas surrounded by loved ones is probably the best way to go, and he earned it. Godshpeed, shir.
 
Fuck damn it, I hate this fucking year.

RIP, you magnificent bastard, RIP.

It's a sad day for sure but I'm just waiting to see how long before his interview about hitting women and other "problematic" things get uncovered and plastered all over twitter.

He beat the shit out of Johnny Stompanato who was abusing Sean's co-star Lana Turner on set. Stompanato was a Mafia hoodlum but Connery didn't care. Based imo.
 
That obituary is dog crap. It calls his Bond a 'museum piece' whose romance 'borders on nonconsensual', and omitted his role in Highlander in favor of referencing his role in Time Bandits, and claimed he was somehow 'in Exile' because he retired and Craig's directors were afraid of letting Connery cameo in fear of people remembering what a good Bond is like.

More importantly though, aww man that sucks.
