This was mid 1967, when You Only Live twice was released , so he must have been 36 . He looked way, way older than 36. The good thing is that he looked like that until he was 70 or so.

Beginning with Goldfinger he wore a toupe. That's why he looks so different. He was contracted for five films and decided he was done after those five. But for Diamonds Are Forever they offered him enough money he decided to do it again, and you can tell by his acting performance he was just there to pick up a paycheck.

I agree with you about Sean. I have seen so many videos over the last 12 months and one at the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award ceremony from 2006 Sean gives his speech which contained eloquence, whit and humour and he also says which i think to me is very important is 'i learnt to read when i was 5' so he was well read When Sean 'got the job' of playing a character called James Bond he had met Diane and she took him to her movement coach Yat Malmgren a Swedish Dance Teacher who ran the Drama Centre in North London as was and he said to Sean think of Cat Animals like Lions, Tigers and Panthers. Sean moved like a panther Why were the first 5 films such a WOW with the world Cinema audience back in 1962 with Dr No and You Only Live Twice 5 years later? I put what was termed 'BONDMANIA' down to the following reasons The first half of the 1950's was DRAB and Britain was still in the throngs of rationing. and even by the late 50's TV, Theatre, and films were black and white and the stories in films were mirroring in many ways the lives of the general public. What was called 'kitchen sink stuff'. My late parents who were in their mid 30's were living their HUM DRUM lives and they were never fortunate to own a TV so the Cinema was their main source of entertainment. When Dr No came along they were shown, FAR OFF EXOTIC places, fast cars, beautiful women, champagne, casino's and someone who was licenced to kill and indulge his pleasures. It is sad he suffered for a number of years with Dementia and not able to communicate and the other ailments he had as well. I know that around 2006 Hunter Davies went out to Nassau to discuss with Sean a book deal which Sean had received an advance for but it never got off the ground and Sean gave the advance back. There is nothing 'out there' to say why it did not appear but Sean was having some health issues that year and had to have a tumour removed from his kidney. I wonder what he would think of the world today?

It is amazing how the camera loves Connery no matter what or where he is filmed. May he R. I. P.

Never heard of this interview before - it's an absolutely fascinating interview where the interviewer lets connery talk.

Fascinating. It's perceived that Sean didn't like interviews; this proves he's natural, down to earth and articulate. I believe this is from 'Good Company ' presented by attorney F. Lee Bailey .

Of course, Sean Connery was the quintessential James Bond. I was sad when he decided to leave the franchise, but it was the best thing he could have ever done for himself. Had he stayed, he would have surely staled in the role. By leaving, he became a legend.

AWSOME, yet very down to earth. Coolness personified!

2 absolute geniuses. Thank you for sharing this amazing footage. Never to be duplicated.

An excellent interview. Thank you for posting it. This interview really gives you a sense of Connery as a man and what he brought to the Bond character. Very interesting insights.

I loved this. You only live twice was my first cinema Bond its amazing to hear Sean talking as himself at this time. He's a much more complex and considered man at this stage in his career than most people thought. The success of his Bond is responsible for the opportunitys it gave to all the others. For giving the "brand" its personality we all owe him a great debt of gratitude. Thanks Sean.

For me, this is the best Sean Connery interview available on KZread. The complete interview, featuring Connery’s first wife, was available but I haven’t seen it here in awhile.

Back when interviews were about two people talking to each other

This is filmed between June 67 and Sept 67. Interviewer referred to the gyro helicopter in YOLT and that was premiered in June 67. In previous interview Connery refers to begin filming Shalako in the November. Connery was only to return one final time in the Eon series 4 years later in 71 with DAF, released in 72. His overall body of work easily eclipsed his time as Bond. In almost every interview through the decades he always mentioned FRWL as his favourite Bond. The Man Who Would Be King remained his favourite film. The Hill: The Offence: The Man Who Would Be King: The Name Of The Rose: The Untouchables: Last Crusade: The Rock. Sean Connery certainly left us a legacy to be proud of and endlessly enjoy.

My favorite of his films are his "other" films, such as "The Name of the Rose". He was able to do anything. I really think we lost a giant.

Sean really made it outside being Bond, James Bond.

during the making of "you only live twice" Connery was utterly fed up of the international media circus hounding him and totally pissed off with producer Cubby Broccolli whom he felt totally stiffed him on his contract and his salary for playing Bond, in today's money taking inflation into account the franchise earned billions with Connery in the role and he always felt he was not rewarded properly for his contribution as Bond. He also hated wearing a toupe, or the "Bond Hat" as he called it, and made no secret of his lack of hair while he was off camera, while filming on location in Japan for You Only Live Twice Connery one day showed his total distain for the production by ripping off his toupe at the end of the days location filming and throwing it like a frisbee towards the make up person, this was in front of the worlds press and hundreds of onlookers who were spectating the days filming...he just couldn't care less, that is a true story and that is just the tip of the iceberg. After the release of Diamond Are Forever Connery got a memo from the producers requesting him to wear the toupe for the world promotional tour and public appearances and chat shows etc, Connery sent a written reply back to the Producers that consisted of two words.....Fuck Off.

I got introduced to them through Roger Moore firstly, but then over time got to see the Connery films, then forward, so on. Great Franchise.

acting is nothing more than someone pretending to be in a situation contrived by a writer. If the person, actor, has a charismatic personality to start and they can relax enough to play along then they will be accepted in whatever situation in which they put themselves. In Connery's case a perfect persona was written for him by Ian Flemming and his body type and personality just fit the bill. We should all be so lucky to have a glove so fitting for our hand.

I love Sir Sean's honesty here.. Just think of the time and how famous he was then.. (of course, still is) This was at the total height of the original Bondmania.. He had the world at his feet and millions at stake but on principal, said 'screw this' and walked because he didn't see that his cut was fair of the deal.. He could have smiled and said, fair enough, I will carry on rolling with 007 but he knew that he would just be going through the rote performance and wouldn't be doing anything new or groundbreaking.. Certainly not rewarding for him.. I agree with previous comments though.. His last film with EON should have been OHMSS.. Yet.. I loved Lazenby in that performance.. An incredible interview.. A real coup..

1:36 this is not just true for Connery but for anyone who has ever been involved with the Bond series. The Bond films will be by far the most popular films in their career.

Sean Connery was so articulate that he was able to describe the James Bond character with just 5 words when he said the character is “cool, suave, sophisticated, with humor.” Yes, that is the essence of Bond, and in this interview can you see all the same qualities in Connery? This answers the question “did James Bond create Sean Connery or did Sean Connery create James Bond?” I believe Sean Connery WAS James Bond BECAUSE of who he already was as a person. The character just happened to fit him like a tailor-made suit.

but that's normal for masculine figures. they look 40 at 30, 50 at 40, and they stay looking 50 for a long time.

He was one of the best.

He would go back for diamonds are forever not his best and later never say never again a film I prefer to the 1971 film. Sir Sean was a fine actor he made many great films post Bond.

Connery realized at this time that the character of James Bond will always be Sean Connery in disguise and not himself. He IS James Bond and no other. That is what he means oh his analogy of Frankenstein.

What a humble guy.

So Connery hated the fact that "On Her Majesty´s Secret Service" didn´t follow "Thunderball", but instead they chose a movie without character development. If you read the books, I think Connery is right. He wanted more intelligent scripts.

I've read all of Fleming's novels and none of the films did them justice. I enjoy the films but they never went beyond the superficial.

I would've loved to chime in and say.....when all is said and done, the list of films in the biggest box office list is wildly different from the list of the greatest, or even the most loved, films of all time and that even goes for a list restricted to US/UK films without even including the art house cinema from the rest of the world.

His comments on Charlie Chaplin - who was still making films when this interview was done - are fascinating. Love how he is mocking Bailey throughout this interview.

He will be forever James Bond. All the others are simply great actors who played the role of James Bond

Smart man full of wisdom

dont forget Darby O Gill and the Little People..first movie I ever attended in london Uk in 1958 Sean Connery played the lead Irishman..he must have been 19 or so..great movie

Diamonds are Forever

What an icon

A suave man even when not portraying Bond!

I think he looks damn good here.

F. Lee Bailey was such a great speaker.

It's a shame it seems he does not appreciate the 007 films and yet it's what made him so admired and famous.

@Clutch7but they were trailblazing action thrillers, and took the viewer to exotic locations. I think his biggest concern was that he though he was not paid enough and he had issues with the producer.

He looks cool with thinning curly locks. Like, he looks a real badass.

I like that he didn t go to a lot of trouble to comb his hair or dress up for the interview. Very natural and intimate

He looks much better in the THE ROCK (1995) than he did when he was much younger...thats the oldest 36 year old i ever saw😮 But when i was growing up he was already old abd looked better than when he was young anyone agree?

❤ Sean Connery, legendary actor

The interviewer is good with words

Sean Connery is older than the interviewer, F. Lee Bailey, who was 34 in this video. F. Lee Bailey was a defense lawyer, who was a part of the O.J. Simpson Dream Team court case. I didn't know this until much later that Connery wore a toupee in every Bond movie starting with Dr. NO. He said in the video that he grew his hair for a western film that he's working on.

F. Lee Bailey was around 34 when he did this interview with Sean Connery. To me, he looked like he was in his 40s.

He was by then already living the fast life. At this point he had been admitted to the Bar only seven years prior, and here you see him interviewing movie-stars, because apparently winning case after case and running multiple businesses weren't enough. Driven and brilliant man.

He s unctuous and ill prepared for the interview. The first thing we do. Let s kill all the lawyers

Damn, he's in his late 30s but he looks like he's in his 50s.
