The Internet Pays Tribute To James Bond Icon Sir Sean Connery

After playing 007 six times  (seven, if you count the unofficial Never Say Never Again), that's obviously the role that's probably most attached to him, but he's also fondly remembered for his acclaimed performances in the likes of The Hunt for the Red October, The Rock and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. He also won an Oscar for his turn in The Untouchables.

Those in the filmmaking industry who’ve been inspired by Connery also spoke up, including Baby Driver director Edgar Wright.

And Clerks helmer Kevin Smith, who touched on something many people are probably feeling right now – that Connery’s work connected them to their parents or grandparents.

Wolverine star Hugh Jackman was also devastated by the icon’s loss.

Connery had been living in the Bahamas since his retirement from acting and his family revealed in a statement that he had been ill for some time and passed away peacefully during his sleep surrounded by his loved ones.

Whether it’s from James Bond or Indiana Jones or The Rock or any of his other iconic movies, Sir Sean Connery’s legacy will be felt for a very long time to come and he’ll be missed by millions.
