The myth that Sean Connery was “bored” in his later Bond films is everywhere. But it’s wrong. Connery wasn’t checked out; he was adapting. You Only Live Twice, Diamonds Are Forever, and Never Say Never Again all prove it. Here’s why. 👇

When the then unknown Sean Connery was announced to play James Bond on the 3rd November 1961, there was very little media coverage about it. Nobody predicted the success that was going to follow when Dr No came out in October 1962... #SeanConnery #JamesBond

#NowWatching GoldenEye (1995) Finally found the time to see it at the cinema for the 30th anniversary re-release! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing it like this during the #JamesBond 60th anniversary re-releases 3 years ago, so I know I'm in for a good time.

"I felt I was reasonably sharp. [...] You've got to cater a bit for the aficionados [...] who get the little quirks and things. It has to be a bit more subtle, a bit more edged humour." - #SeanConnery in 1967, on playing #JamesBond in You Only Live Twice.


"I was under regular pressure." - Sean Connery In 1975, Connery reflected on what it was really like filming You Only Live Twice in Japan. It lines up with everything I explored in the updated postscript to this article 👇 🔗 […oreverre-imaginedproject.blogspot.com/2025/05/still-…] #SeanConnery #JamesBond


I've now added a postscript to my article on Connery’s later Bond performances; reflecting on further research and perspectives (including those of Roald Dahl and crew members). It’s still Connery for me — just with more nuance. […oreverre-imaginedproject.blogspot.com/2025/05/still-…]

Daniel Craig: "You shouldn't really be taking days off when you're making a Bond movie, you should just be concentrating on it. Day offs were taken up with meetings about posters, meetings about music, and the way it looked. I love making movies, so that's part of the process."…

"There was a kind of idea from the books that he [#JamesBond] was a very well bred, well educated, very erudite gentleman. Actually, in the books, he isn't. [...] Fleming [said that Bond] was a blunt instrument. And we try to keep him in that image." - Harry Saltzman
