He won more than 30 international awards, and was awarded a knighthood in 1999 by Queen Elizabeth II of Britain. In 1989, he was chosen as the sexiest man alive. He was born on August 25, 1930 in Fountainbridge, Edinburgh, Scotland, to poor parents in a small town, his father being a Catholic of Irish descent and his mother being a Protestant. "Tommy" was his nickname, but his friends used to call him by his middle name, "Sean", to distinguish him from another friend who had a similar name, and from that day on it became the name by which he became known all over the world. Sean Connery moved in his youth between many humble professions after leaving school at the age of thirteen. He was an active boy seeking to earn his daily bread, which made him do several jobs, including working as a construction worker, a coffin cleaner, and others... These professions created a solid person full of masculinity and roughness from him, until he was able to become a model - exploiting his extreme handsomeness - for the College of Arts in Edinburgh. In 1953 - at the age of twenty-three - he participated in a male competition - similar to beauty pageants - called Mr. Universe, and achieved third place. After that, he began the stage of approaching television and presented his first work, Lilas in the Spring, in 1955. Connery married the Australian actress Diana Cilento from 1962 to 1973, and had a son, Jason, on January 11, 1963, who has now become an actor, following in the footsteps of his father. From 1975 until now, he has remained Connery is married to the French girl of Tunisian origin, Michelle Roqueborg Connery, and as we can see, it is a long and happy marriage, the likes of which are rare to find in the artistic community. When he was offered a role in a play, he decided at that moment that his profession would be acting. Indeed, his beginning was in 1955, when he got a role in one of the episodes of the famous series, until he participated in a movie in 1959 titled, in which he played the role of a man with whom an Irish girl falls in love. It was romantic, but his strong and violent features made the wife of the famous producer Albert Brocklow nominate him to play the character, as she told her husband, “This man has a special appeal on the screen, and he will be cheap and will not ask for exorbitant sums of money to embody the role of James Bond.” During this period, Sean participated in several movies, including the one in which he plays the role of a BBC correspondent who is in a romantic relationship with a married woman, played by actress Lana Turner, until he dies in a plane crash and his lover goes to visit his village and hometown to discover that he has a wife and a young child. From here, Sean Connery left an impression on the audience as a strong, playful man who makes women fall in love with him and then runs away from them. His roles continued, showing his many talents, as he participated in a movie in which he played a comedic role, and a movie in which he was supposed to continue a series of movies in which he embodied the character of Tarzan, but the role of James Bond had begun to make him famous in Hollywood and the whole world, so he did not accept to continue in Tarzan after he had put his feet on the top. Then he participated in a movie in 1964 with the great director Alfred Hitchcock, but the movie did not succeed at the box office at the time, but it received an excellent rating at the time and has become one of the classics of noir films these days. Meanwhile, he met his first wife, Diane Clinton, and then participated in the film, which achieved great success for his distinguished performance as a soldier who is a victim of a sadistic regime. Connery was distinguished by his brilliance in embodying the role of the playboy and the con man who poses a danger to those around him, but in a charming way that attracts viewers to him. Connery presented the character of "Bond" through seven films that were the reason for the name "Connery" to become "Bond" himself, starting with the film "Dr. No" in 1962, and ending with the film "Never Say Never Again" in 1983. The truth is that "Sean Connery" was not a candidate for this role at all, as he was a young actor at the beginning of his career, and the producers "Coby Brosoli" and "Harry Saltzman" were looking for a famous star to play the role of the secret agent in his first films, especially since the character of "Bond" was not very famous, and thus the choice fell on "Cary Grant", but he refused due to his old age, and "James Mason" and "David Niven" were also nominated, the actor who played the role of "Bond" later in The film Mazino Royale in 1967. Thus, in the manner of a program, a competition was held entitled, but the winner was not accepted due to his unsuitability for the nature of the role despite his extreme handsomeness, and finally the choice fell on “Sean Connery” to start the famous series of films of Agent 007. “Dr. No” was the first film in this series, and it differs somewhat from the novel that bore this name and was written by the character’s creator “Ian Fleming” in 1958. The success of the film encouraged the production company “EON” to start presenting other films. The best of the seven films – in “Connery’s” opinion – is “From Russia With Love” which he presented in 1963, and after that the crisis arose between the character of “Bond” and “Connery” himself, as “Connery” found everyone looking at him as the famous secret agent and everyone forgot the character of “Connery” the actor, then critics ignored the other characters he presented in films other than “Bond” films such as “A Fine Madness” and “The Hill” and others. “Connery” abandoned the character of “Bond” after the film “Diamonds Are Forever” in 1963. 1971, and he publicly declared that he would never play the character of "Bond" again! But "Connery" returned in the early eighties and signed a contract with the production company to present his seventh film in the series, and a film came out with this sarcastic title from "Connery's" previous statements in which he said that he would not play the role of Bond! Unfortunately, the film was not at the same level that the audience knew "Sean Connery" for, as "Connery" had reached the age of fifty-three and was no longer as fit as youth. Here, "Connery" announced that it was his last time actually in the character of "James Bond", but Sean Connery tried to get out of the cloak of James Bond by making several films that varied between science fiction, romance, and the world of gangs such as, and the political film. As he grew older, he began to move into certain roles that suited his age until he reached supporting roles in the eighties and married for the second time to Micheline Roqueburne, who is French, and he remained married to her until his death. By the time he reached his fifties, he was still handsome and healthy, and continued to deliver brilliant performances in films such as 1982, 1987, and others. He won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the 1987 film, in which he co-starred with Kevin Costner and Robert De Niro. Connery worked with director Steven Spielberg for the first time in the 1989 film, in which he co-starred with Harrison Ford. Spielberg said of him, "Sean Connery is like no other actor. He is a true legend from Scotland, because he is the kind of man that everyone loves and women especially adore. He is not a hypocrite, he is a star that history will immortalize." His roles continued in the nineties, in several films such as 1990, 1992, 1994, 1996, and 1999. In 1999, he received a knighthood from Queen Elizabeth of Britain. Sean Connery died on October 31, 2020, at the age of 90, at his home in Nassau, Bahamas. His death was announced by his family and Eon Productions on the same day. Connery lived with his wife in the Bahamas, which he loved, until his death.
