With a career spanning seven decades, the actor retired from films while he undoubtedly still had some terrific performances left to give.
Sean Connery – arguably the greatest ever James Bond – has turned 90.
Connery himself admitted in a statement posted on his website: “If anything could have pulled me out of retirement, it would have been an Indiana Jones film.
The actor announced his decision in 2006 at an American Film Institute (AFI) ceremony presenting him with a lifetime achievement award, stating: “I have retired for good.”
