Connery is forever tied to Bond, defining the character outside of Ian Fleming’s novels and creating a promise of adventure that has captivated audiences since the 1960s.Ĭonnery’s Bond ended up being a prototype for a variety of shades of masculinity throughout the 20th century, a roguish cad who could kill as quickly as he could seduce. The actor will likely spend the afterlife looming over the James Bond franchise the same way he did during his time alive. Death is not the end for Sir Sean Connery.
