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. 👇
ALT They don't stand a chance against James Bond; Sean Connery; 007!

Were entering the territory of “X is in the running to play James Bond” news stories now that casting has begun.
Just be mindful that most of these haven’t actually happened and it’s just their agents trying to drum up curiosity for their clients…
EXCLUSIVE: Tom Francis has auditioned to play James Bond for Amazon MGM.
• The 26-year-old British actor is best known for appearing opposite Nicole Scherzinger in the stage production of “Sunset Boulevard”
• Francis is one of many performers jockeying for the part in a casting process that is ongoing and being overseen by Nina Gold (“Game of Thrones”)

Guy Hamilton: "Hey John, give us a little something for when Bond arrives at LAX on his way to Vegas, will you?"

Continuity isn't exactly the Bond film's speciality

The reason why it’s taking so long to make the next Bond film is because they’ve sat down to write it and remembered that in the last one they killed him.

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...

#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 👇

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.

ALT Sean Connery laughs with Akiko Wakabayashi and director Lewis Gilbert during a rehearsal at Kobe Docks for You Only Live Twice (1967). Though Connery faced challenges on location, moments like this reflect the camaraderie he sometimes found on set.

Going in for another #firstwatch here of one of #SeanConnery's post-Bond films. Always interesting to see him playing against type during this period of his career!

That was fun! It says something about Connery's charisma as a film star that he fits well into a role different to his usual ones.
My favourite scene would probably be when Raisuli tells the story of his imprisonment; Sean has the sort of voice that makes you sit up and listen.

On this day 58 years ago, the fifth Sean Connery led #JamesBond film YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE had its world premiere in London’s Leicester Square!
Did Connery finish up his first run as 007 on a high note?
