Connery, who was awarded a knighthood in 2000 for his contribution to the arts, played the British spy in seven movies, beginning with"Dr. No" in 1962.He wasn't just Bond, of course.
"Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said she was"heartbroken" to hear of Connery's death.Read More"Our nation today mourns one of her best loved sons," she said in a statement Saturday."Sean was born into a working class Edinburgh family and through talent and sheer hard work, became a film icon and one of the world's most accomplished actors.
The finest Bond ever. The rest are mere posers except for Daniel Craig
Can't say I agree with his choice of how to handle hysterical people with vaginas (even though the over all arc of his point was taken out of context). No matter your sex it's not OK to abuse anyone weaker than you (or anyone really). That being said. You hit me. I hit back.
Rip Mr Bond
May his soul rest in peace
Rip
🙏🌹😔 rip 00🔫
So sad. May his soul rest in peace 🙏

RIP, Mr. Sean Connery. I love your movies. I saw them all.

The one of a kind actor who I believe most charismatic and has own defining style and quality. May he rest in peace.🙏
My favorite was him playing Indian Jones's dad. He was great.

RIP. 🙏
One of the greats
RIP
Rest in Peace...
The best James Bond there ever was. RIP.
Best of them all, RIP Sean
rip Sean your going to be remembered and missed.
All actors play act something they are not especially when they have a great director telling them how to play act the character.
RIP. Mr Bond. James Bond
A very handsome, but a bit rough, man.
He’s the standard for Bond. Charisma but ruthless. He moved liked a panther. Smooth and elegant. Until he pounced and killed. No Bond had his style. Craig would be second. Great actor and a thug. But without Connery’s effortless killing efficiency. JamesBond SeanConnery
A Legend - RIP
Best James Bond truly a treasure to the cinema
He was so much fun to watch. So many great roles & such a fine actor.
永远的偶像😢
Fgos, Barry Nelson was the first person to play JamesBond .
Smackaho ........had to
RIP
Rip
Rest on Legend!
Growing up on the tiny island Of Rarotonga, Cook Islands in the South Pacific...it was James Bond that gave us hope and dreams...RIP Sean Connery. His son acted in a movie called...The Other Side of Paradise shot on Rarotonga in the 80’s.
We lost a good one
Proprio in queste settimane stavo godendomi gli 007 interpretati da Sean Connery, per poi approdare ad altri degni film. Grande attore e grande persona; sono addolorato per la sua scomparsa. Con la sua morte, il 2020 ha proprio rotto le scatole!
I’ve voted blue all my life but the party has gone so far left that I’m going to have to vote for Trump.
RIP mr. Bond!
RIP
In honor of a great man '...only with an open hand.'
Heartbreaking news about Sean Connery but what a ride! James Bond will live forever.
My main man pots and pans, RIP bond, James Bond!
That’s it 2020 is the worst yr ever
May he Rest In Peace.
I just loved his acting, very natural
Rest In Peace James Bond
Not a well known movie, The Offense 1973, because grim, but Connery shows his ability to play a complex, flawed character, more finely shaded than those roles he became legendary for. In fact, one sees none of his swagger or other theatrics, but a fuller talent. Worth seeing.
He WAS Bond. Period.
The greatest Bond EVER
Wtf 2020 I’m F-N done with you already!!!!
RIP Sean....
steeletalk Thx Lynnie for sticking to fluff pieces 😎
Sir Sean Connery, a man with class, style and a great actor. Rest In Peace . There will only be one original bond James Bond!🕶⌚️📸💣🔪🚀✈️🚁🍸🕵️♀️💋
He wasn't the first actor to play Bond!!
Rest in Peace.
RIP JAMES BOND
Such a sad loss. The best Bond ever.😢
Nah, Roger Moore.
I GOT LOCKED UP AND COULDNT MAKE BOND
Unforgettable, it is sad to see your sunshine sets for good. Rest In Peace.
A real loss. No other Bond came close. He was a great actor.
Yeah except he just wants to slap women every now and then. Trust me, I grew up in London. It’s a known fact.
Xoxo
One ping only.
The best Bond ever! He was still sexy in his eighties! He will be missed!
R.I.P. The original & best 007!😢
Damn.
Barry Nelson was the first actor to play James Bond.
😢💔
RIP!
Barry Nelson was the first one to play James Bond. On TV though, Sean was the first to the big screen.
RIP to a legendary actor.
This is the guy who advocated slapping women. Abuser is dead.
🙏🏼
Sean Connery was not the first actor to play Bond. Barry Nelson was. Also CNN, answer this question:
RIPSeanConnery
BOND ! JAMES BOND! 🍸RIP.
Report on Bobulinski for crying out loud!!
💔 awww 2020 how could you!?
God Bless RIH
My favorite movies with him are Hunt for Red October and The Rock. You will be missed.
godspeed in your Aston Martin! :'(
Damn, too much talent is leaving this world. R.I.P
RIP !!!! 🙏🏻
Oh no, the sexiest James Bond. RIP
Not the first.
Truly one of the greats!
Blessings Always!
😭😭😭
Damn 2020! Condolences to fam and friends of greatest Agent 007 🙏🙏🙏
Rest In Peace my friend, Rest In Peace.
Rip Sean
RIP to the best 007 🙏🙏🙏
THE best Bond. RIP.
Yet the hits just keep on coming 2020. A true legend
One hell of a man and actor RIP 007
I always thought he was so handsome, loved him as an actor.
¡Trump no es una buena persona! Sobre él pesa la acusación de según Mary Trump, de que él le robó millones de dólares de una herencia a dos de sus parientes, y siendo un empresario multimillonario, en 12 años, tan sólo pagó de impuestos $1,500...increíble verdad!
One of the best bonds
Rest in peace 😭
May he R.I.P.
💔💔. Loved him in Entrapment. A life well lived, 90 years old. May his wife and sons be consoled. We thank him for his art,well executed every single time in every role over many years.
RIP...
No. No he wasn't.
IMO The Man Who Would Be King , The Untouchables and Bond were his best .
RIP Sir Connery. I've lost my idol today...
Very sad to hear this 😓
The world nós os nerd of OO7....
Best Bond ever.
Sad day. RIP 007
😥
Keeping a promise made to Carrie Fisher, whose death was commemorated with countless images of her in a Slave Leia costume, her's Sean Connery in his most iconic role:
Wow, I simply loved this man RIP
RIP great actor Sir. My favorite 007.
Sad, Sean was best Bond ever
Nooooo😭😭😭😭😭...He was my favourite actor ever! no one like him. no one...
Loved him
Check your facts !!!!
Aw. Such a cool Sean
OM Shanti 🙏🏼
I'm sorry to hear that! He was my favorite James Bond! Prayers for his family
😢
Sad to hear he has passed.
He will be missed. Rest in perfect peace, Sir.
RIP legend
RIP Sean Connery
The real James bond
SeanConnery Condolences to family & friends. He is a living legend whose talent would stay alive as far as Switzerland on top of snow-capped mountains where a revolving restaurant is part of his fabulous legacy, large windows engraved with numbers 007
RIP
Aww No.. Aww . Mr Connery, will always be my first crush, and im sad now. He leaves a legacy .
I admit he was a good actor, but when I learned he thought it necessary to open hand slap women (which he confirmed in the Barbara Walters interview and was very matter-of-fact and unapologetic for it), I lost respect and avoided anything he was in.
Sad to hear, great actor, made some great movies. Will be missed 😞
❤🙏
RIP Sean😪
The best James Bond ever!! Connery truly made that character! His iconic voice and presence will be greatly missed. 😢
Ouch.
CNN wrong again: Barry Nelson, not Sean Connery, was the first actor to portray James Bond. Casino Royale, TV production.
rip
RIP
RIP 🙏🏼
RIP the guy who said beating women was fine, actually.
I liked him better as a celebrity jeopardy contestant
Rip , he was a good actor , but in his film he didn't value women
Scottish LEGEND 💖💖💖💖💖💖
My 2nd fave actor. He will be missed.
RIP to the real 007
used to like him until his wife said he beat her. Pass
A great actor, statesman and the best Bond ever. RIP.
He was not the first doctor to play James Bond. Do your research CNN
What a life 2 live and a long life
Oh no!! MHSRIP
So sad - such a great actor and very interesting person.
Sad. I thought he was great
RIP Mr Connery The only actor who could play a Spaniard with a thick Scottish accent and get away with it
i loved him in the untouchables rip sir
Rip John Patrick Mason. Godspeed. It’s a sad day 😢. I always enjoy watching everyone of your movies.
🤔... George Lazenby was the 1st
George Lazenby first. Jesus
Heartbreaking 😞😞
You will be missed greatly. 😢😔🙏
Must have been Covid hey CNN
I think Sean Connery was the second actor to play James Bond. The first one (I forgot his name) was a comedian in Casino Royale.
Probably wouldn't of had his life cut tragically short if he didn't smoke! Tobacco kills!
Liked him. RIP.
First actor on film not first to play him
Rest In Peace my teenage Idol Legend mr Bond 007 !!! :(
What a great man and a great James Bond! He lived a full life. RIPJamesBond RIPSirSeanConnery
RIP. So very sad. So many great roles. Finding Forrester was my favorite.
I don't know which is hotter,... the car or the man.
Sean Connery’s last words were “Re-elect realDonaldTrump.”
He was the only James Bond as far as I’m concerned, the rest were imitators.
And by far the Best!!! RIPSeanConnery
RIP Sean, the best Bond ever.
Adios genio y gracias por dejarnos tantas historias!
hell,no. He is old. But he is James Bond, James Bond doesn't die.
Hearth breaking! Rest In Peace Sean , one of legendary actors ever ! 💔
The COOLEST!
Om Mani Padme Hung 🙏🙏🙏
😢😢😢😢😢😢
RIP
Hunt for (what month is today)?
Rest in peace, Sir. One of my idols.
Not quite.
Tomorrow never dies
We shall miss him. ❤️
Great actor. My favourite. RiP Sean Connery
ah man
A proud Scotsman
My heart goes out
Rest in peace James, sorry Sean
Did we forget he openly said he ‘slaps’ women? Just because he played an iconic role, doesn’t mean his domestic violence history should be excused. Source:
One of our own 😢🙏💙🏴
All time great actor. RIP
Rest in peace Mr Bond, James Bond.
karenkasler RIP
HE WAS WHITE!!! WHO CARES!!! OBLM ACAB
He played a great father for Indiana Jones may he Rest In Peace.
andIwillpersist Awe, RIP 😞
bunannie RIP 🙏🏾
Legend, fucking 2020.
Don't think I've ever really had a favourite actor per se, but if I had to name one, it's always been him. I hoped we could get to see him just once more on the big screen in a fragment of a cameo...... 😭
His last dying wish was to re-elect Trump , let’s honor him like we did RBG.
He was a Beautiful Man! ♥️🙏
Rip 007!
We will always remember him RIP
Fact check: he was not the first
Rest peacefully old celeb😢
Stud
Rip man
RIP LEGEND!💪
Rest in peace to the best bond ever. Sir Sean Connery was an absolute legend.
RIP to the greatest actor to played James Bond.
Nooooooo! Not Sean Connery! 😢
😢😩😭
He had many famous roles. He will be missed! RIP. 🙏🙏🙏
Biggest ever impactful actor and original JamesBond is no more. My heartfelt condolences to his millions of fans including me. He is true hero and legend of his own way. RIPSeanConnery
Rest well Sean. You remain my favourite from childhood.

No!
RIP 🙏🏽 The last classy actor...
Is Mitch still laughing?
I will always remembed him as indiana jonez father.😥
That’s actually Not True. The first actor to play 007 was George Lazenby in Her Majesty’s Secret Service truth
He was not the first
He wasn’t just a handsome devil. The man could act. And that voice. He was something. RIP, Sean.
“Should auld acquaintance be forgot And never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot And days of auld lang syne?” RIP forever remembered!
One of the greatest actors ever. Goodbye Sean
Undertaken... But not stirred
Oh no! 😞
RIP Sir Sean Connery. You are my idols.
2020 can fuck right off. Damn. Thanks for lifetime of great movies. rip.
I thought he was the second. Wasn't there a TV movie made in the 50's?
He was the Best James Bond hands down. Rest In Peace Sir
RIP bond
I first laid eyes on this handsome fellow in Darby O’Gill and the Little People - a staple for my Irish family 🌈🍀 Always hoped to find my Michael McBride 😍 But loved him as the feisty father in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade 🎬 RIPSeanConnery 💔
Rest easy, 007. You were my favorite Bond.
'You only live twice, Mr. Bond.' RIPSeanConnery
The best
Will miss you Forever .... Fare thee well 🙏
