'Sean Connery WAS James Bond': Daniel Craig, Pierce Brosnan, more stars mourn 007

Celebrities, fans and friends alike are paying their respects to Sean Connery, the Scottish actor known for defining James Bond for a generation.

Brosnan noted that all the Bonds who followed in Connery's footsteps"looked to you with reverence and admiration as we forged ahead with our own interpretations of the role. You were mighty in every way, as an actor and as a man, and will remain so till the end of time." Craig added that his thoughts are with Connery's families and loved ones."Wherever he is, I hope there is a golf course.”

Robert De Niro said he was sad to learn about the passing of Connery in a statement provided to USA TODAY by his publicist Stan Rosenfield. Catherine Zeta-Jones, Connery's co-star in 1999's"Entrapment," shared a photo of them together on Instagram and wrote, "I love you Sean Connery with all my heart. ... I will cherish every moment I shared with you."

"Sean will be remembered best as James Bond - the classic 007 - but his roles were many & varied," she wrote in the third tweet. "He was a global legend but, first and foremost, a patriotic and proud Scot - his towering presence at the opening of @ScotParl in 1999 showed his love for the country of his birth."Bond villain Robert Carlyle, who played Renard in 1999's "The World Is Not Enough," tweeted twice Saturday morning."RIP Sir Sean Connery..
