London: Famous British actor Sean Connery, who played the role of James Bond in seven films, passed away on Saturday at the age of 90. The family of the actor informed the media about it.
He was the first James Bond, and for many fans, the best one. The legendary actor Sean Connery died at the age of 90.
But the actor’s achievements and good looks were recognized throughout his lifetime as well. Connery was voted “Sexiest Man Alive” by People magazine at the age of 59, and 10 years later, another survey determined that he was the “Sexiest Man of the Century.”
Managing to maintain a heartthrob status well at an advanced age would be an achievement for any actor — but as years passed, Connery’s charisma seemed to grow. With his silver hair, healthy tan, and muscular stature and dazzling charm, Sean Connery was a world star, in front of and behind the cameras.
By the time he had been voted “Sexiest Man Alive” in 1989, the Scotsman was already far advanced in his career. Connery had become a legend as a James Bond actor, and had earned also respect even from contemporary critics in his impressive roles. He garnered an Oscar, and was often viewed as an involved and committed figure in public life.
