Esoterica 403 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Are you all aware that he believed it was ok to hit a woman? I just learnt this, and from his words, in a Barbara Walters interview. Link to post Share on other sites

As the entertainment reporter said, something along the lines of you can admire his work, while also acknowledging the bad. I didn't think much on hearing about his death. Frankly, he lived a long and great life, so I don't feel bad. I liked him in movies but wasn't a favourite by any means. Hearing him actually say he thought it was fine to hit a woman though, WOW. Probably not unlike many men of his vintage. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed. Derailing and speaking ill of the dead (which I considered before posting) are not good, I was just a little shocked when I saw the clip of the interview where Connery said it, and wanted to share the info.

bob_m_54 1,494 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 R.I.P. Sir Sean. I must admit I was never a big fan of the 007 movies, but I did liked his acting in just about everything else I saw him in. A legendary actor of the old school type. Link to post Share on other sites
