Sean Connery: Original 007’s final James Bond performance saw a generous turn by the star
Last month Sir Sean Connery died at the age of 90. The Scottish actor was most famous for playing James Bond across seven movies, with the final outing being 1983’s unofficial Never Say Never Again. However, Connery portrayed Bond a couple more times in his acting career.
In an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk, the author of The Lost Adventures of James Bond shared some fascinating insights.
Mark Edlitz said how one lost Connery performance was made on the set of 1998 flop The Avengers, in which he co-starred opposite future M Ralph Fiennes and Uma Thurman.
The author said: “In it, Connery played a Bond-esque villain who is determined to control the weather.
“It was Ralph Fiennes’ birthday and Jeremiah Chechik asked Connery to play Bond in a video message.”
