So great to see you here Jason. I watched you in the day when you played in Robin of Sherwood My uncle Dod Lived in Buccleuch Terrace opposite the meadows in Edinburgh and he went to school with your dad Sean Connery when they were young, he showed me pictures from when they used to play football together in the meadows after school when Sean waited for his mum to collect him after work. I was brought up in Loanhead and later lived in Bonnyrigg. Sean (famously) played football for Bonnyrigg Rose football club when he was younger. He was a legend and a great ambassador for Scotland.

Great interview Tony, what a lovely man

[@williamf4544]

Wow really impressive - a really nice down to earth chat with rather a huge star I wont lie i was expecting to see a good looking young lad with Nordic looks and long blond hair - still a really good looking man but its easy to forget how fast time has flown for him and all of us - im still suffering from shock at getting my bus pass a few weeks ago - an almost sureal experience A very interesting conversation - thank you

[@emmamason3480]

I had a massive crush on Jason Connery in Robin of Sherwood. Still would!

[@gillfinlayson7894]

I must admit I was always a Praed gal and so disappointed when Mr C joined. But I thawed! (It was my favourite show ever.) But now so admire him for his directing and the Leith project. Not just doing heaps for Edinburgh and Leith, but the whole of Scotland! A fine man. ♥️

[@jiffriyanauroos3306]

Me too , love Jason to bits

[@ingaborlowski1536]

I liked how you handled Mr Connery’s comments about Americans at 41:31 as he generalized American behavior and desire to know their history, seemingly mocking Americans as he told about his experiences. I’m glad you responded with your own perspective in a positive light. Thank you. Your inclusiveness makes you/your show just so awesome 👏 👏 👏

[@maryee222]

Yes, your response Tony, was most gracious. Thank you! I think- as you discussed- our history is very new compared to the rest of the world. Most of us are not that far removed from our immigration- and we look for our roots. Thanks for these wonderful interviews!

[@globalbakes]

I absolutely agree with the comment about taking a lifetime to discover Scotland! Even with all of my travels and time exploring in Scotland, there is still so much more that I need to discover. I will never tire of it! Loved this interview. Thanks so much!

[@livinglavie7239]

Great interview! Making me miss Scotland even more!

[@ruthmcclounnan4281]

thats how I feel as well Ana ,,,I am a born Leither been in the States since 1947

[@toscana6457]

What a wonderful interview. It’s been a long time since I was in Edinburgh but after listening to Jason it’s made me think I need to go back. As a keen photographer it’s going to be bliss! RIP Sir Sean, my all time favourite actor. Sadly missed.

Tony Good Interviews. Scotland's Values Of Intelligence Jason Connery.

[@choccyfrolick]

I really enjoyed the interview! Good on Jason for doing something for the Scottish Film Industry. My mum was 1 year older than Sean Connery and from Gorgie, she told me she used to see Sean at The Roxy, surrounded by women!!

[@choccyfrolick]

sorry, that's probably the Palais

[@Stephanie-Gillespie]

Another fantastic episode of Scottish Memories! Your interviews with everyone just makes me realise more and more that although Scotland is small in size there is so much packed into the space to see and experience. Thank you Tony! I'm excited to see what will come of Jason's work with the studios!

[@robertroberto2487]

Jason Connery Respects And Honors To Stories Of Scotland With Family,Friends, Work Values In Food, And Bike Or BusTravel Beautiful Scenery. The Architecture History Buildings Loved By Community To See Museum To Theatre Productions. Well Done.

[@Zandain]

Must admit to having a bit of a crush on Jason Connery, way back in the day!! 🤣 He is just so delightfully 'normal' despite his special upbringing ..and he praises Leith! Which is my favorite part of Edinburgh I completely agree with Jason, about the beauty of Scottish architecture and even more so, about 'the noise' of the US buildings 💙 Great interview, Tony!

[@Cheezsoup]

Ooops you're gonna be in trouble. Oh eh oh de oh Ohh Saying Leith is a part of Edinburgh

[@slydermartin6008]

Your interviews feel like I'm sitting in a pub or living room enjoying a good conversation. Wonderful. Look forward to "Conversations with Tony" every Wednesday....could be a book....

[@lindahart6049]

What a great interview! Love the fact that he talked to some of your previous guests and got positive feedback from them. It shows you’re on the right track, well done you!

[@rampageclover9788]

My deepest sympathies Jason...your father was truly in a class all by himself

[@ingaborlowski1536]

Another fabulous interview Tony!! Love your chats and hearing other’s thoughts. Side bar note, USA does have buildings older than 200 yrs old. Mr Connery can find most of them on the east coast of USA....some go back over 300 yrs. Obviously not as old as Scotland or elsewhere in the world. Just thought I’d mention it 😉

[@toffeepopzzz]

Aw, he was near my parents during lockdown. It's very lovely part of the world. He's mentioned lots of places round Edinburgh that I have visited. The architecture is lovely, its why I keep coming back.

[@Filbeckistan]

Another great interview! He seems like a really good guy.

[@treelimbtlc]

That was a great video. And I agree with you when you said you can see Scotland in two weeks, but keep discovering it forever. It will forever have my heart.

[@audreyburnes5600]

What amazing interview! His father was always my favorites actor! But this man has a lot of his father's great quality. He seems like a great guy in his own right. Keep up the great work,Tony. And as always you any you family are always in my thoughts and prayers!

[@ingerschmidt290]

You are the best. Thanks so much! Love from Inger and Sweden .

[@JanGu1954]

Thank you, Tony. That was very interesting.

[@lindseybowden3453]

Tony! You've never been to Marys Milk Bar! Even I've been! Great interview as always! x

[@ClanBroonford]

I have been now.

[@irenehutchison1388]

What a lovely person.Down to earth chap.What a brill interview.Best wishes Irene Hutchison (Hawick)

[@jastoddart]

Kinda excited about the Studios in Leith. It should be good for the Community and the industry. Hope you do a vid on it.

[@pandorabox82]

I don’t know how your chatty interviews go by so quickly, Tony! I think it’s because you have such a great rapport with all the people you interview, but I always teach the difficult questions portion thinking - how is it that time already? Another great interview!

[@slydermartin6008]

I get that "what?" moment when Tony gets to those questions....Yes I want to hear the answers and NO...slow the interview down!!!

[@boriskarloff598]

It's true that Edinburgh being a big city has a tight familiarity within it's residents. A guy I went to school with at Bruntsfield is an actor and dj, Grant Stott. I'm halfway around the world in Texas an I haven't seen him in 40 years. Keep up the good work and thanks.👍

[@sibionic]

this man was Robin of Sherwood...

[@annemariedeans4709]

Another great interview Tony.. Jason is such a interesting man... Ggtthb

[@JD-tu6re]

Woohoo look at you mixing with celebs...Mr Connery! 😉 🥰

[@divox9pqr]

Great guy Jason Connery. He has a wonderful, bright, sunny optimism about him. ...To me, he favors his Mom more than his Dad.

[@gillfinlayson7894]

Best one yet, Tony. Can we get his Dad on next? 💓

[@slydermartin6008]

OMG....Reading my mind! "Connery, Sean Connery". 👍

[@NighaT1152]

It was too late! Sadly you guys didn’t get to see him because he died rip 😢

[@Ryan-rh1vc]

Maybe you could get a small cameo in one of Jason's projects, Tony 👍

[@jeffro512]

NEVER realized Lex Luthor was Sean Connery's Son - Smallville is/was amazing

[@alexmcgrath7645]

It's fantastic to ”meet Jason” I wish there were lynks to his works including Pandemic

[@JaneHarvey-q4b]

Great interview Jason is his dad's double

[@mjh5437]

You must be joking!!!😅😅😂😂

[@martinscholz6613]

Thanks for this empathetic interview

[@mjh5437]

This looks like Right Said Fred interviewing each other😅

[@jbeattie1244]

Jason c is so much like his dad big tam and uncle Neil c

[@KimKim-pp5fn]

his voice is almost like his father

[@francotan6119]

the more he looks like his father

[@paul10hats5]

Talk about "grounded'!

[@tomwillis3089]

Mind, there are other brands of Caramel Wafers and Teacakes available 😉

[@mjh5437]

I would never have guessed he’s Sean Connery’s son,he really looks nothing like him..

[@nathanpartridge3565]

No shout out to his acting uncle Neil?
