1. October 25, 1993.

There will never be another man like Sean. The voice, the good looks (most handsome senior ever lol) great actor.

[@KomradeKrusher]

Stop saying it is a "sad day". Sir Sean lived for 90 years, most of them certainly more fulfilled than those of an average Joe. He lived on the Bahamas and died there, peacefully in his sleep. We should all be so lucky. Rest in peace, Sir Sean - and thank you so much for all the wonderful entertainment.

@@kristincarmichael6377 Indeed. Death is inevitable, and most people will face it much earlier and after much more hardship than Sir Sean. This is about perspective. Knowing you will die one day, the only important question when the time comes, is "how". And I say Sir Sean got a bloody good answer.

No he won't. That's today culture. Get yourself a re-tweet off of a celeb's death and then they're gone forever. How man entertainers get no respect until after they die. It's a shame. I love old school wrestling - and they old guys get no love until their death. It's a shitty way of 'honoring' them. Why not give people props while they're breathing.

Connery is even more charismatic in person than he is when in character.for a film.

[@davidsanderson5918]

I like the way, when he touches down and is removed from the 'jetpack', THAT nonchalant, blasé expression on his face is that Connery-style 'Bond' expression that no other Bond actor has in their repertoire. It's got nothing to do with authenticity or keeping close to the original Fleming character. James Bond in the cinema is a thing of its own.....whether it's the music, the gadgets, the girls, the locations, the corniness, the explosions, Roger Moore's raised eyebrow OR.....Sean Connery's supercool expression. That's the uniqueness of the cinematic Bond. Fair play to Sean for doing it once more after sooooo long.

[@williammason475]

I agree. No disrespect to Daniel Craig or the other actors, but Sean personified James Bond. He sat the standard as 007.
