I had the pleasure and good luck to meet him at the beginning of the 90s and to spend an hour chatting and laughing about everything and anything while passing the time until our delayed flights were called. Absolutely charming and a perfect gentleman and I will never forget what he told me before parting. "You young lady have the most genuine smile and laughter I have encountered in a long time, please, never change!" Needless to say, I took his advice.
I remember one time I was in the launderette waiting for my underwear to dry and Sean walked in to check on the kilts he was washing. We sat and chatted and laughed until his kilts were clean. He even showed me the real Scottish way of wearing a kilt and we laughed some more. On his way out he turned and said to me, "John" - for that is my name - "don't ever let the bastards grind you down. Fight to your final breath", and I've lived by those words ever since. Wonderful man.
@@UncompressedWAVmusic well, it was a more fatherly approach. We were sitting in a corner of Frankfurt Airport during a massive flight delay due to a bomb scare. He saw the book I read and remarked he had too and that it was a good one. He had a beard and I didn't recognize him straight away, when I did and asked him why he is not in the VIP lounge, he laughed and that broke the ice. He was on his way to his home and wife.
@@christinestotzel2671 Interesting story, thanks for sharing a down to earth story of one of my heros since the 1960s. He may not of hit on you however he was motivated to talk with you and laugh with you. That is beautiful.
I was so privileged to have met this wonderful man on many occasions..I worked at Ibrox and Sean was there as he was a great friend of Rangers chairman David Murray..he treated all the staff in his usual respectful way and was very friendly..a true gentleman who never forgot his working class roots.
@UCses35Xd7mshJcOENnCnYPw I'm expecting you to say he done an interview where he says that he sometimes wants to hit a woman but he'd never do it. And then for you to take it out of context and say he beats women
I was playing golf with my father-in-law at the Belfrey in Warwickshire, England and Sean was doing a corporate day in a roped off area by the clubhouse. We stopped at a respectful distance to watch and he called us over. An absolute gentleman. His generation will be sadly missed.

@@geraldo6205 absolutely no disrespect intended, but hope it will come around again. Men can be men again if they have help to stare down the darkness.
After seeing this interview I have a new respect for him. What class. It’s like has wasn’t acting in the James Bond movies. He simply put on a tuxedo and was being himself. No acting needed.
@@PO3TRYN3NTROPY Someone who put on a tux and, being himself, doesn't have to pretend to be educated at Eton, you know, because. I was being ironic. The question at the end should have given it away, but I hail your natural (sorry!) instincts against the phrase.
A legendary man and actor. Loved ALL of his movies since I saw him in Dr. No when I was 13. Had a huge crush on him and admired his talent and everything else about him. Handsome, intelligent, and beautiful man who OWNED every role he played. No one else was Bond for me, but I cried like a baby when he died in The Untouchables and cheered for him in The Man Who Would Be King. His presence and voice are incomparable. So sad to see this great Scotsman leave us. I am now 71 and I feel as if an old friend has passed.
yes true, but he did leave us the greatest gifts of all, Decades of great Entertainment to view and take us away from are mundane lives and make us feel like we did when we were young...and those movies will stand the test of time for years to come.
The fact that my 25 year old son and 3 of his mates called him the best Bond and watched nearly all his movies tells you the level of appeal this man had, unbelievable charisma and a wonderful sense of humour, charm and wit and the fact he manages to subtly roast Boris right there...the man was a legend and we probably will never see the likes of him again...
@@jmcasas17 The current bond movies rely a lot more on computer and other special effects vs. the original Sean Connery Bond movies are more based on the character and charisma of Sean himself. Nothing is better than the original movies.
THats an endless debate. Never Say Never Again stunk to high heaven. Dr. No was a little bit ridiculous. From Russia with Love was about the best bond film. The best spy films featured George Smiley, not James Bond. Dalton apparantly 'looked' the most like Fleming described, but looked a bit too much like a movie actor. But thats the problem, they all look like actors, not spies.

I just like it, when Boris Johnson looks at Sean Connery, with a puzzled facial expression on, as he says to him that one day he’s going to become the real elected chief of the party. Sean Connery was smart and he was a real visionnaire, for having saying that to Boris Johnson.

Oh, man!! How I cringe at his hair!!! He wants us to take him seriously as PM but he looks like he doesn't care what he looks like. Doesn't help that the camera angle in the House of Commons seems pointed more to the top-middle of his head than his face.
@@HappyHedgehog281 I saw a report on 60 Minutes Australia a few months ago. One of the people they interviewed was a friend of Johnson. The friend said that Boris knows how to comb his hair.

The term legend is thrown around very lightly . Sir Sean Connery was truly a legend . Shaken , not stirred , immortal , Indys Dad, Hunting for Red October , arguing with Nic Cage .
In 1967, while I had been on 4th grade I passed in front of a cinema theater and saw the advertisement of 007 film namely From Russia with love when I went home I asked my mother two shillings which was the prize of the entrance ticket to the theater. I was told that being Tuesday, it was not the weekly Friday permission but after several trials begging the fair I was given the two shillings for Cinema Hodan theater not far from our house in Mogadishu to watch Mr. Sean Connery's film.
In 1965 I got a change of school from Sheikh primary school to Mogadishu after my father was tranfered from Burao local government as Excutive officer to the ministry of interior in Mogadishu as a director of a department. In Mogadishu first I attendended a primary in Eel Hindy where I became the second student from the North namely Somali land. I stil rember the names of my colleagues Abukar Keynan, Mohamed Wehlie, Abdiqadir Yariisow, Ducale Mohamed, Abdirashid Abdillahi, Mohamed Abdillahi etc all of which I don't have the least clue about where are they now. The syllabus from my new school was quite different from the one I had been in Sheikh town.
That's a lovely snapshot of a different era. I was likely less than one year old at the time, and shillings had well and truly turned to cents by the time I saw my first big screen movie, so I only got to see most of the older Bond movies on TV. The first newly released Bond movie I saw in a cinema wasn't until The Spy Who Loved Me (where Roger Moore filled the role well enough but his wasn't a patch on Sean Connery's 007).
How I already miss this man, Grounded,Intelligent,Relateable and just the kind of guy you could have a beer with and talk about anything. The beauty is that Parkison lets him talk.
Stumbled across this. I'm a great fan of Sean Connery. He's a Son of my hometown, same age, or would have been, as my late Father, and synonymous with the definition of Bond. Lovely to see the camaraderie between Sean, and Parky.
But in that role as the kind King - it must have been a great treat for the pythons -- they didn't think they could ever get him during casting. And his role. It was so sweet. He acted as HIMSELF.
I fear that the early-to-mid-twentieth century Briton is a breed we shall never see again. Their dry wit, their integrity, their beauty is, alas, a thing of the past. There was no work, only life; no sadness, only love; no regret, only a deep and abiding sense of joy.
Sean was Scottish. He’d have went mental at you if you called him a Brit. That quick wit and humour you’re talking about is the wit and humour we Scots have.
The great Sir Sean Connery a cinema legend. I can honestly say I never tire of watching any movie he was in, the best bond, the rock, indiana jones, the list goes on.
Sean hated Tories. He did a lot of work for Scottish labour workers, made documentaries on Scotland's labour force and pumped huge amounts of money into his education trust foundation for children in poverty, which he established. He was also fairly politically active in Scotland but kept his work largely to himself. I only just learned recently that he donated his entire pay-cheque for Diamonds Are Forever to the foundation, as well as his entire $250,000 salary for his small role in Robin Hood and millions more from other earnings, including from doing Never Say Never Again. I always assumed he was just greedy demanding higher pay for Bond and other later roles, but it turns out he was just getting as much as he possibly could out of gangsterish Hollywood producers to pump into good causes.
@@DM-kv9kj my old told me about this .His view was that he did it discreetly with noble modesty .My good auld da is a braw man .Heart of a lion and good as gold .Well read .This light hearted conversation always stuck in my head .Good Scots have a democratic socialist outlook .....ie when does having billions actually become weird and vulgar. ..
Great bloke and I've always loved his movies but eighty plus movies, there must be a hell of a lot I haven't had the pleasure of seeing. R.I.P. Sean. You will be missed for a very long time.
I just learned something after watching this. To have a great interview, the guest MUST respect the interviewer. This fact was SO apparent in this marvelous piece. RIP, Sir Sean.
My husband was the image of Sean, same beard etc. I feel very lucky, unfortunately he died last year with Dementia, just like Sean. We had 58 years together, I was blessed.
I don't know whether to start by expressing my congratulations or my condolences. It must be most painful to loose your loved one, let alone after 60 years together. That being said, I would be so lucky to be married to a great guy for that long.
It really is amazing. He was so disgusted with that movie that he retired from acting, but when he was in the talkshow he was just the perfect gentleman making it out like everything was just hunky dory. Pure class.
I was actually going to say the same thing. He jabbed a little bit saying, "...Yeah, it's great. The money...." he notoriously hated that movie. But, he still handled the business end like a pro.
I have watched Sean Connery since Dr. No was released. I have always admired his class act. Sadly he died last year at 90, but what a life! Few of us can measure up to his standard.
@@thomasjones2415 I agree totally Sean Connery was the most popular Scottish men of all time. He was awarded the highest honour in Scotland before he died. He refused to give up his Scottish accent. What a great man.
Lmao oh fucking please. Brando was a pretentious hack with a serious attitude problem that made 9 pieces of unwatchable carbage for every film of his even worth watching. Had he been an actor nowadays, nobody in the industry would even spit in his general direction.
I Love Marlon Brandon As Actor But Sir Sean Connery Is Best James Bond Of All Time James Bond Is Ultimate Film Series Of All Time, They Wood Have Been No James Bond Atall Of All Time With Out Sean Connery,
Just another reason to be proud to be Scottish🏴 so very modest and loves his wee country we really are the best wee country 🏴💙 there's nothing quite like been brought up in Scotland were proud and no one can take that away from us.
Sir Sean Connery became much more relaxed in interviews as he grew older and let his wit show. I almost see him as two actors... one who will always be the real James Bond. The other the great actor in the remainder of his years, particularly the roles he played after age 50.
@@morganfisherart He didn't really. He was quite chummy, like they were old pals. Or maybe there was irony at 13:56 "you're gonna be the chief of the party" Quite prescient!!
He was the one and only Bond. My favorite movie and role will always be his appearance in The Man who would be King though - what a masterpiece and what a great story written by Kipling. May he Rest In Peace - he will never be forgotten
One of the greats. I loved his Bond movies, which in the 60's were racy and full of action. My favorite of Sean's movies are The Hill, and The man who would be King, and Darby O'Gill and the Little People.. I used to work with a man who had worked with Sean when he was a truck driver in the late fifties. He liked Sean and said he was a body-builder at that time. R.I.P. Sean.
He's fiercely egalitarian here, taking devastating aim at anything other than strength of character. He can be as genteel and gentlemanly as you like. But it's clear he hates pretentiousness, and loves actual merit. Any paper tiger is getting a poke.
Sir Sean is the best ever 007. One of our all time great thespians. From Darby O’Gill to League of extraordinary Gentlemen via The Rock and You only live twice . My all time best Sir Sean film outside Bond is The Hill.. charisma ,class written all over. God Rest in peace sir
Part of me takes comfort that Sean won’t be around to see what is to happen to the Bond character and franchise. There really is only one Bond, and that was Sean.
@@Its.My.Life. 007 will become a female of color. James Bond is either killed or retires and the 007 designation is given to a colored female. Parts of the script have been outed for a few months now.
Nice to see Bond is civilised enough to sit an interview next to a villain. "Do you expect me to die?" "No, Mr. Bond - it's an interview, I expect you to talk!"
@@richardjones3792 I’m not a lefty in the slightest. Both left and right annoy me. Also, I never said Johnson was a facist, I just think he is an idiot who shouldn’t be PM. And I’m glad Connery saw that from a mile off.
I've been a lifelong fan of Sean Connery and after watching this I wholeheartedly agree this is the best interview of him and also very insightful that I have ever seen and just makes me miss him even more
I MET HIM DOING DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER AND I COULD DO HIS VOICE IN 14 SECONDS ,AND ALSO MET MR. BRUCE GLOVER , STILL IN TOUCH 50 YEARS IN A COUPLE MONTHS
Thanks for posting this interview, fun witty, and earthy. Loved reading the comments. Seriously, am I the only one who adored him in The Wind and The Lion? And the extraordinary cast, gem of a film.
Never met Sean,but I wish I had.He is one of my favourite actors and best Bond.His performance in Highlander was very moving and he was great in The Man Who Would Be King.
I was so pleased they mentioned The Man Who Would Be King. Everybody knows James Bond, and quite right too, but seem to forget classic films like this and The Wind and the Lion. If you haven't seen them you are in for a real treat.
@@radimnechut519 yes at 13:55 - Bryan I noticed that near the ending of the interview. Sean said to Boris, "I hope you're going to be the chief of the party".Boris was speechless. That was a great compliment.
it's possible Connery considered Johnson a total cunt liable to mess up anything he'd touch. And so it was likely with utmost sincerity he wished for Boris Johnson to become chief and thus positioned to touch the Tories up real good. That Boris Johnson as party leader would also become prime minister and able to work his special magic with an entire nation was probably an unforeseen consequence as far as Mr. Connery was concerned.
Love that Sean saw through Boris Johnson all the way back then and you can't argue with his instinct if you look what a collusal mess he's made of the country in recent times!
Oh really. And how has he done that then? Or maybe (just saying like) he has had to do things because of a global pandemic. People like you crack me up. its very easy to write as you did but we never get the full picture let alone facts.
It doesn't look like boris had an answer to someone of Connery's stature and ability, charisma and delivery. Connery's honesty and self awareness played a large part in that ability and they are characteristics boris would do well to acquire before he destroys the nation of Britain along with his paymaster mates in corporations. I don't hold out much hope in that regard from what I've witnessed publicly of boris' moral heft.

@@brianwheeldon4643 Well thank your for that Far Left observation. Not that it had any relevance given the date of the programme. Why would or should Boris 'have had an answer'? What part of 'he was a guest not the interviewer' don't you quite understand? Boris, in 2003, was a new, but highly popular MP for Henley, the Editor of the Spectator and the author of more than one book. It was why he was on that programme. He had his own credentials. The fact he deferred to a great actor and behaved with impeccable manners would, to normal people, be a good thing. However to people like you who look for every event to copy / paste the usual Momentum crap, it is somehow a fault. ..............................smh.
Mr Connery... Your passing has left a very big hole in this world. But, we can always fill it with memories of you, and the unforgettable images you made for all of us. Sir, you make me SO PROUD to be of Scottish heritage. Rest peacefully in a kingdom only befitting of your gallantry.

Stumbled across this. I'm a great fan of Sean Connery. He's a Son of my hometown, same age, or would have been, as my late Father, and synonymous with the definition of Bond. Lovely to see the camaraderie between Sean, and Parky.
Most underrated role.....The fireman in Time Bandits!!!!
But in that role as the kind King - it must have been a great treat for the pythons -- they didn't think they could ever get him during casting. And his role. It was so sweet. He acted as HIMSELF.
He was Agamemnon too. Time Bandits is such a brilliant film with an outstanding cast.
Zardoz! 😅
@@guardian33 that was a bit errotic.
He'll always be James Bond and God Bless him, so much class.
Although he deserved his fame, he's still one of the luckiest men on earth. MasterOfMyDomain.guru
RIP Sean!
Scotlands favourite son.
We miss you greatly.
I fear that the early-to-mid-twentieth century Briton is a breed we shall never see again. Their dry wit, their integrity, their beauty is, alas, a thing of the past. There was no work, only life; no sadness, only love; no regret, only a deep and abiding sense of joy.
True true, every generation has something unique,those that have known that have to pass these on to the young generation
Of course, he would have said he was a Scot. And the future PM he was skewering would have been the Briton.
yeah, but now the modern Briton can quote the Quran!
Sean was Scottish. He’d have went mental at you if you called him a Brit. That quick wit and humour you’re talking about is the wit and humour we Scots have.
@@deanmcdougall5331 you seem upset
We grew up watching Sean as Bond. He was definitely the best. Great sense of humour. RIP
The great Sir Sean Connery a cinema legend. I can honestly say I never tire of watching any movie he was in, the best bond, the rock, indiana jones, the list goes on.
Connery digging at Boris Johnson is cracking me up
Sean hated Tories. He did a lot of work for Scottish labour workers, made documentaries on Scotland's labour force and pumped huge amounts of money into his education trust foundation for children in poverty, which he established. He was also fairly politically active in Scotland but kept his work largely to himself. I only just learned recently that he donated his entire pay-cheque for Diamonds Are Forever to the foundation, as well as his entire $250,000 salary for his small role in Robin Hood and millions more from other earnings, including from doing Never Say Never Again.
I always assumed he was just greedy demanding higher pay for Bond and other later roles, but it turns out he was just getting as much as he possibly could out of gangsterish Hollywood producers to pump into good causes.
@@DM-kv9kj my old told me about this .His view was that he did it discreetly with noble modesty .My good auld da is a braw man .Heart of a lion and good as gold .Well read .This light hearted conversation always stuck in my head .Good Scots have a democratic socialist outlook .....ie when does having billions actually become weird and vulgar. ..
Yeah, we could've used Sean now, couldn't we?
Great bloke and I've always loved his movies but eighty plus movies, there must be a hell of a lot I haven't had the pleasure of seeing.
R.I.P. Sean. You will be missed for a very long time.
it is beautiful friendship between Sir Sean Connery and Micheal Parkinson. love the story that Sir Sean telling about the bet the two of them had.
I just learned something after watching this. To have a great interview, the guest MUST respect the interviewer. This fact was SO apparent in this marvelous piece. RIP, Sir Sean.
My husband was the image of Sean, same beard etc. I feel very lucky, unfortunately he died last year with Dementia, just like Sean. We had 58 years together, I was blessed.
I don't know whether to start by expressing my congratulations or my condolences. It must be most painful to loose your loved one, let alone after 60 years together. That being said, I would be so lucky to be married to a great guy for that long.
It really is amazing. He was so disgusted with that movie that he retired from acting, but when he was in the talkshow he was just the perfect gentleman making it out like everything was just hunky dory. Pure class.
I was actually going to say the same thing. He jabbed a little bit saying, "...Yeah, it's great. The money...." he notoriously hated that movie. But, he still handled the business end like a pro.
@@bradbiggs4283 it was a fun movie though
@@strangevisions5162 what movie?
He actually quit acting due to heart problems, that was just a common myth at the time because he did indeed hate it as well as stop acting after it.
Was awful movie. I went too the premier saw his interview. He hated it
I have watched Sean Connery since Dr. No was released. I have always admired his class act. Sadly he died last year at 90, but what a life! Few of us can measure up to his standard.
Michael Parkinson RIP ~ I miss interviewers like him ~ good days. Sean Connery RIP 🏴 ~ still my favourite Bond 🇬🇧
🇦🇺🌟
Thanks for this opportunity to watch this. Great Man, great Actor ....one in a million.😎🇫🇯🌴

This is PURE Brilliance. RIP Sean.
So proud of Sir Sean Connery.A great Scotsman and Independence supporter.RIP.
Wow, Sean is such a class act and also excellent sense of humour.

@@thomasjones2415 I agree totally Sean Connery was the most popular Scottish men of all time. He was awarded the highest honour in Scotland before he died. He refused to give up his Scottish accent. What a great man.
Great Interview..👍 !!
Thank's For Sharing it 👍!!
Hes bloody gorgeous omg what a stunning looking man, and that voice wow
Sean Connery a superstar,a legend and yet so down to earth,simple honest person, simply brilliant interview 👍👍👍
I love that Sean says at the end 'Oh Boris just take it in the spirit it was meant'. Which I'm sure he meant it sincerely, every word of it.
When a future prime minister remains silent while Sean Connery talks, then you know that actor has got it made.
A very insecure future PM who didn't know a damn thing about himself...and proved it to the world.
Until the future prime minister was forced to resign.
Sean is "The Man"......forever!!!
He IS the stepuncle of Tom Jones!
This guy is a movie God right there with Marlon Brando, two actors who like rare musicians have a style so unique it can never be duplicated.
Lmao oh fucking please. Brando was a pretentious hack with a serious attitude problem that made 9 pieces of unwatchable carbage for every film of his even worth watching. Had he been an actor nowadays, nobody in the industry would even spit in his general direction.
@@iliilili310 Yeah of course; ask any actor. erhh who are you?
Your right .BJ is an actor all right . ..
I Love Marlon Brandon As Actor But Sir Sean Connery Is Best James Bond Of All Time James Bond Is Ultimate Film Series Of All Time, They Wood Have Been No James Bond Atall Of All Time With Out Sean Connery,
@@iliilili310 Brando, if he concentrated on his art, was the greatest actor ever. As a human being he was horrible.
One of the most interesting and entertaining interviews I think I have ever seen.
It's fantastic to see a proper interview. The fact that Sean & Parky were good pals only added to the sparkle.
RIP to the world's most beloved Scotsman.
It was devastating to hear of his passing. I grew up watching a his films.
Just another reason to be proud to be Scottish🏴 so very modest and loves his wee country we really are the best wee country 🏴💙 there's nothing quite like been brought up in Scotland were proud and no one can take that away from us.
you should be proud of what you do, not what someone who shares your name, your address, your zip code, or your country of birth does
@@strangevisions5162 I am very proud of what I do.
Yes, he was the finest ambassador for our wee country 🏴🏴🏴
@@strangevisions5162I am proud of who I am not of what I do or what I have
One of a kind !!
There's celebrity and then there's a man with presence !
Sir Sean Connery.
Sir Sean Connery became much more relaxed in interviews as he grew older and let his wit show. I almost see him as two actors... one who will always be the real James Bond. The other the great actor in the remainder of his years, particularly the roles he played after age 50.
Russell crowe is the same, he much more mellow now
I love how he addressed Boris Johnson as “this one”.😂😂
Yep - brushed him off like the piece of dandruff that he is. At 0:46.
@@morganfisherart He didn't really. He was quite chummy, like they were old pals. Or maybe there was irony at 13:56 "you're gonna be the chief of the party" Quite prescient!!
Me too Luke, Cheers, Doug
Caught that 😂😂😂😂😂
@@morganfisherart *Yea right Bahama's 0%Tax Rate*
Great video, shows how Sean Connery perfected being an actor, and Johnson perfected being a complete dud. Thanks for sharing.
My top three voices to enjoys, wonderful tones and just a joy to listen too.. Sean Connery, Morgan Freeman, and Stephen Fry
All excellent choices! I’d add James Earl Jones to your list and make it a top four. 😉👍
Probably one of the best interviews he ever did especially as he didn't suffer fools and knew his mind
A giant of an actor - sadly missed!
He was the one and only Bond. My favorite movie and role will always be his appearance in The Man who would be King though - what a masterpiece and what a great story written by Kipling. May he Rest In Peace - he will never be forgotten
One of the greats. I loved his Bond movies, which in the 60's were racy and full of action. My favorite of Sean's movies are The Hill, and The man who would be King, and Darby O'Gill and the Little People.. I used to work with a man who had worked with Sean when he was a truck driver in the late fifties. He liked Sean and said he was a body-builder at that time. R.I.P. Sean.
This man , this man …. I love him. His acting , his voice …. This man ❤️❤️❤️
Love this fella! Great job Sean!
Absolute legend! Definitely my favourite actor
"Bond. James Bond." Mr. Connery, THE original and the best Bond.
This sentence, in the first Bond Dr.No, in the table on that casino. It might be the most legendary thing in movie history.
Hi was sooooo hot
Never Met Sir Sean Connery.He Sent An Autograph Photo From Golf Course In Spain.Learned To Educate And Better Yourself.RIP.
He's fiercely egalitarian here, taking devastating aim at anything other than strength of character. He can be as genteel and gentlemanly as you like. But it's clear he hates pretentiousness, and loves actual merit. Any paper tiger is getting a poke.
@ michael puvis. but he won't live in Scotland. He lived in Hollywood and Marbella.
@@normafoster1959 objection. Relevance?
@@normafoster1959 He can hardly be blamed given the government he was helped vote in...
Being a raconteur is definitely a dying art. Men like this are sorely missed.
The charisma.. There aint more on anybody.. and that accent.. Oh my..Sir Connery. . the world aint the same without you..
Sir Sean is the best ever 007. One of our all time great thespians. From Darby O’Gill to League of extraordinary Gentlemen via The Rock and You only live twice . My all time best Sir Sean film outside Bond is The Hill.. charisma ,class written all over. God Rest in peace sir
The interaction between these two amazing people is just fantastic.
Nobody is a better actor than Sean Connery rest in peace sir Sean Connery
R.I.P Mr Sean Connery, you´re one of the bigest stars Holywood as ever had.The One and only James Bond.
Part of me takes comfort that Sean won’t be around to see what is to happen to the Bond character and franchise. There really is only one Bond, and that was Sean.
Hopefully nothing too bad.
Pierce Brosnan also did it for me, maybe because he was the bond when i was growing up.
@@Koen030NL that does seem to be the case. Each generation tends to like the current bond. Mine was Connery. Loved Roger Moore as well.
@@Its.My.Life. 007 will become a female of color. James Bond is either killed or retires and the 007 designation is given to a colored female. Parts of the script have been outed for a few months now.
@@Its.My.Life. ...the rights to the James Bond film franchise are owned by Barbara Broccoli not Ian Fleming. Wait and see. Pal.
Nice to see Bond is civilised enough to sit an interview next to a villain.
"Do you expect me to die?"
"No, Mr. Bond - it's an interview, I expect you to talk!"
TRUE 👍
Come on, Ricky ain’t that bad🤔
Such a great actor ! I loved his movies and his sence of humor !
“Boris, take it, take it in the spirit it’s meant” 😭😭😭
Loved it :-)
Sean giving Boris Johnson shit is just about the greatest thing ever 😁
ONE OF THE GREATS UP THERE WITH SIR MICHAEL CAINE, TOM JONES, JOHN MILLS IN FANTATIC COMPANY AND A GREAT HUMAN BEING RIP MR CONNERY
RIP good man of my life .I pray i meet you in our Scottish heaven.
Wonderful Celebrity, Sean. Miss him already. But his spirit will live on.
RIP to him. What a legend!(I’m glad he took a jab at Johnson)
i take it youre a loopy leftie who thinks everyone right wing is a "fascist nazi" hahaahha
@@richardjones3792 I’m not a lefty in the slightest. Both left and right annoy me. Also, I never said Johnson was a facist, I just think he is an idiot who shouldn’t be PM. And I’m glad Connery saw that from a mile off.
@@CASM-ze7lb
I agree, Boris Johnson is a lying incompetent 🤡
Connery looks like some Scottish gamekeeper here....a rascal with a glint in his eye...
Funny you say this, because in Skyfall, they originally asked him to play the estate keeper of Skyfall in the movie.
I've been a lifelong fan of Sean Connery and after watching this I wholeheartedly agree this is the best interview of him and also very insightful that I have ever seen and just makes me miss him even more
He was a Legend for sure, RIP Sean.
I MET HIM DOING DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER AND I COULD DO HIS VOICE IN 14 SECONDS ,AND ALSO MET MR. BRUCE GLOVER , STILL IN TOUCH 50 YEARS IN A COUPLE MONTHS
Charisma from head to toe has that been his voice hey’s Personia R I P SeanMy father loved you very much.
One of my favorite actors of all time 🙌

I LOVED this film
One of the best actors to exist loved his films
Thanks for posting this interview, fun witty, and earthy. Loved reading the comments. Seriously, am I the only one who adored him in The Wind and The Lion? And the extraordinary cast, gem of a film.
Never met Sean,but I wish I had.He is one of my favourite actors and best Bond.His performance in Highlander was very moving and he was great in The Man Who Would Be King.
I lived in Fountainbrige, Scotland where Sean was born for 6 months. Beautiful place
007 took his time being born then!
That was absolutely brilliant!
I was so pleased they mentioned The Man Who Would Be King. Everybody knows James Bond, and quite right too, but seem to forget classic films like this and The Wind and the Lion. If you haven't seen them you are in for a real treat.
Good lord the guy's voice is majestic 🙌 ✨️
Love how he treats Boris like he's just a guy on the set.
Love the comment; so understated it speaks volumes
I bet Sean Connery never thought he was sitting next to the future Prime minister at the time. What a legend he is Sean Connery I mean.
He couldn't have cared less, I imagine.
He does actually say "you're going to be the leader of the party"
13:56 "I hope you're going to be the chief of the party". The look on Boris's face...
How's nobody mentioning this in the comments? The damn prophet!
Bryan I noticed that in the very ending of the interview. Boris was speechless. That was a great compliment.
@@radimnechut519 yes at 13:55 - Bryan I noticed that near the ending of the interview. Sean said to Boris, "I hope you're going to be the chief of the party".Boris was speechless. That was a great compliment.
@@UncompressedWAVmusic are yu being sarcastic, was Sean?
it's possible Connery considered Johnson a total cunt liable to mess up anything he'd touch. And so it was likely with utmost sincerity he wished for Boris Johnson to become chief and thus positioned to touch the Tories up real good. That Boris Johnson as party leader would also become prime minister and able to work his special magic with an entire nation was probably an unforeseen consequence as far as Mr. Connery was concerned.
Love that Sean saw through Boris Johnson all the way back then and you can't argue with his instinct if you look what a collusal mess he's made of the country in recent times!
Oh really. And how has he done that then?
Or maybe (just saying like) he has had to do things because of a global pandemic.
People like you crack me up. its very easy to write as you did but we never get the full picture let alone facts.
It doesn't look like boris had an answer to someone of Connery's stature and ability, charisma and delivery. Connery's honesty and self awareness played a large part in that ability and they are characteristics boris would do well to acquire before he destroys the nation of Britain along with his paymaster mates in corporations. I don't hold out much hope in that regard from what I've witnessed publicly of boris' moral heft.
@@1chish trying to defend buffoons you've never met on the internet is embarrassing. Stand on your own two feet, lose the lapdog mentality, just behave in a civil way.
@@FlourescentPotato It may well be your opinion someone is a 'buffoon'. However others hold a different PoV and are equally entitled to do so. And (God Forbid) say so in the t'interweb!
I never defended anyone Spud. I asked some random internet writer a simple question and postulated another. So the only embarrassment here is your fabrication.
And you can go shove the lecturing, superior attitude you plank. I was entirely civil and as I hope my reply shows I WILL stand on my own two feet. Especially against righteous idiots like you.
@@brianwheeldon4643 Well thank your for that Far Left observation. Not that it had any relevance given the date of the programme.
Why would or should Boris 'have had an answer'? What part of 'he was a guest not the interviewer' don't you quite understand?
Boris, in 2003, was a new, but highly popular MP for Henley, the Editor of the Spectator and the author of more than one book. It was why he was on that programme. He had his own credentials.
The fact he deferred to a great actor and behaved with impeccable manners would, to normal people, be a good thing. However to people like you who look for every event to copy / paste the usual Momentum crap, it is somehow a fault.
..............................smh.
He’s a dude 😎! Imagine walking around everyday with that voice.
You’d have to be a success

Your passing has left a very big hole in this world. But, we can always fill it with memories of you, and the unforgettable images you made for all of us.
Sir, you make me SO PROUD to be of Scottish heritage.
Rest peacefully in a kingdom only befitting of your gallantry.
