Shocked and excited on this occasion, they learn that Sir Sean Connery is dead. I’ve had the pleasure of playing golf with him several times. A real character for me too, the best connection. James Bond must be immortal. RIP

Every day on the set with #SeanConnery was an example of behavior on the screen. But all that charisma and power was completely unique to Sean. RIP this great man, this great actor. https://t.co/W8MQrFYlJ0

There’s no doubt he represented James Bond, but don’t forget there were so many other roles. A real movie star who owns the screen.

How infinitely sad to hear the news of Sir Sean Connery’s death. He and Roger had been friends for decades, and Roger always said Sean was the best James Bond. RIP

David Buddyel commented: There is a level of stellarism where a star is so deeply rooted in culture, at least in a certain generation, that it is almost impossible to imagine that it no longer exists.

Sean Connery was a film legend even in his heyday. Our strongest bonds were formed by him, and he was untouchable. He died today at the age of 90, a polite hero to the end.

I’m very sad. What a voice, what a style, and so super cool. My favorite Bond, of course, but he also loved it in many other movies. Hunting untouchables in Red October, what a beautiful life. #RIPSeanConnery https://t.co/bgTzEzWBWc
