James Bond legend Sir Sean Connery has died in his sleep aged 90 following a long illness.
Tributes have been pouring in for the Oscar-winning actor who passed away in the Bahamas and leaves behind his wife Micheline and sons Jason and Stefan.
Sir Sean, whose acting career spans decades, is best known for his portrayal of British fictional spy James Bond who he played between 1962–1971.
He enjoyed a long and varied film career spanning 50 years, but Sir Sean Connery will undoubtedly be remembered as the first - and some say definitive - James Bond.
His performance in Dr No in 1962 set the jobbing actor and former milkman on a path that would lead to Hollywood stardom and all its trappings.
Roles in Highlander, The Untouchables and Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade helped seal his position as one of Britain's best-loved stars, and his brooding good looks and distinct Scottish brogue won him legions of fans worldwide.
Connery never lost his much-imitated accent despite his many years living abroad. From his home in the Bahamas, he remained a fervent supporter of independence for Scotland.
R.I.P Sean...a long and very varied life...

Obviously a "cool dude," and fine actor, but he also seemed like a really great guy.

My favorite James Bond. He used to vacation in Morocco where I vacationed. Never even saw him.

I'll always think of him in the 007 role too. But I admired the quality of his personhood for reasons I can't quite define.
Goodbye Mr. Connery, and choose your witticisms carefully in your roles to come.....even though I expect none of them will be your last.

NOOOOOOO! As far as I'm concerned, nobody else could play Bond. Such a handsome, debonair man and he aged well. I remember my BFF (when I was in my 20's) said she'd really get turned on after her husband took her to see a Bond movie. LOL May they both Rest in Peace (she's gone too).

I hit the HaHa emoji accidentally. I loved him in Finding Forrester too. He was not only a great actor but a mentor to promising new actors, including his co-star in Finding Forrester and Julia Ormond.
