Sean Connery, 90 years old as a sex symbol

(ANSA) - ROME, AUGUST 24 - Never was the title more apt: "Highlander" is not only his 1986 film in which he plays an immortal Spanish master of arms like his pupil Chris Lambert, but it is the emblem of Sean Connery, an icon that does not fade. Created a baronet in 2002 despite the aforementioned independence sympathies for his beloved Scotland, ThomasSean Connery turns 90 on 25 August. In Italy we saw him for the last time in 2007 when he came to the Rome Film Festival to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award (the Marco Aurelio d'oro) which makes a fine show of itself on a bare board of awards equal to its success: an Oscar as Best Supporting Actor (for Brian DePalma's "The Untouchables"), three Golden Globes, some obvious homeland awards and thirty lifetime awards (including a Telegatto). But Sean Connery, born in Edinburgh to a truck driver and a waitress, never made a big deal out of it. A few months ago Sean Connery was confirmed by acclamation as the best James Bond in the 007 saga. he gave it a lot of weight then he became obsessed with it so much that he abruptly interrupted a story that began in 1962 with "License to kill" after five global successes up to "Si vive solodue volta" (1967). To escape the 007 cliché, Sean got to alternate the role-prince with other films. Thus began to build a new character (brave, macho, ironic, romantic).
   With age Sean Connery becomes a star and a self-confident actor.
   With 94 films behind him, 10 productive adventures and an active director, he has often said he loved "The Untouchables", "The Rock", "Entrapment", "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" (as Harrison Ford's father). , "La casaRussia". Although after his retirement in 2006 it was often speculated that he had Alzheimer's disease, SeanConnery reappeared in public (at the FlushingMeadows tennis tournament) in 2017. Receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award he said "My feet tonight are tired, but my heart and my brain really aren't! ". (HANDLE).
