Sean Connery Demise: Ranveer Singh, Abhishek Bachchan And Venkatesh Paid Tributes To This Ace Hollywood Actor
Hollywood ace actor Sean Connery passed away a few hours ago at the age of 90
Hollywood ace actor Sean Connery passed away a few hours ago at the age of 90. He was the first actor to give life to famous fictional spy James Bond 007 character on the big screens. His son has released the official statement about his father's sudden demise.
Sir Sean died peacefully in his sleep in the Bahamas, having been "unwell for some time", his son said. He also doled out, "His father had many of his family who could be in the Bahamas around him when he died overnight in Nassau. Much of Bond film Thunderball had been filmed there. We are all working at understanding this huge event as it only happened so recently, even though my dad has been unwell for some time. A sad day for all who knew and loved my dad and a sad loss for all people around the world who enjoyed the wonderful gift he had as an actor."
Sean was the 20th century movie icon and is best known for the movies Dr No (1962), From Russia with Love (1963), Goldfinger (1964), Thunderball (1965), You Only Live Twice (1967), Diamonds Are Forever (1971) and Never Say Never Again (1983).
Speaking about Sean's awards, he bagged an Oscar, two Bafta awards and three Golden Globes. He was also awarded by Queen Elizabeth II in 2000, in a ceremony at the Palace of Holyrood house.
Sean's sudden demise left many Bollywood and Hollywood actors in shock and a few of them took to their social media accounts and paid tributes… Have a look!

We have the official statement from present James Bond 007 Daniel Craig. He wrote, ""It is with such sadness that I heard of the passing of one of the true greats of cinema.
Sir Sean Connery will be remembered as Bond and so much more. He defined an era and a style. The wit and charm he portrayed on screen could be measured in mega watts; he helped create the modern blockbuster. He will continue to influence actors and film-makers alike for years to come.
My thoughts are with his family and loved ones. Wherever he is, I hope there is a golf course."
