The one, the only, Sir Sean Connery. Don’t worry, we paid him $1 million dollars!
This is what Connery had to say….
“I’m swimming every day and I’m even trying to get the golf swing working again – but that might take a little bit longer.
“During the summer, I wasn’t in pain but I wasn’t feeling great. I came to the Edinburgh Film Festival in June then, when I left for the south of France, I realized I’d lost a little bit of weight and needed to change my regime. I’ve done that and the last few days have been pretty special with the family here.
“We’ve eaten non-stop and it has been a great celebration.”
Other birthdays today include THE Regis Philbin, Gene Simmons, Elvis Costello, Tim Burton, and Billy Ray Cyrus.
The first movie I ever saw by myself was The Hunt for Red October. Thank you, Mr. Connery. You will be missed.
They should bring him back to play James Bond one more time before he croaks. At least it would be less ridiculous than a remake of Weekend at Bernie’s.

This is fake, right?
Ah, Red October. I found it funny how Sam Neill and Connery didn’t even bother doing a Russian accent, but everyone else did.
JP, the Weekend at Bernies thing was a hoax.
