Sean Connery

Nov 06, 2020,11:10 AM
 



In his heydays, a very attractive man:














Following his death I was reading on the internet that day about him and what I did not know is that he was wearing a wig as Bond, to look perfect:

Maybe someone can confirm that?

















Regarding Bond girl:















His latest car has to be: Aston Martin Superleggera















Alternatively a Bentley, the Brooklands:















And finally the watch, presented by his illegimate son smile:













Sean Connery is dead, but he lives on in his movies and in the hearts of his fans.
