God fucking damn it. We just watched Highlander last night and we spent ages saying how much we loved Sean :(


Was also the first time my better half seen Highlander and she said "I didnt think I would be saying this but I really fucking loved that!" :mrgreen:

Loved him in The Man Who Would Be King, and he's the actor I'll always think of as THE James Bond.
Went peacefully in his sleep, that's the way to go. :cry:

It is indeed, and he was the real Bond for me too.

RIP to a cracking actor, loved so many films he was in.

Enjoyed his films, but some of his views, particularly towards women, were dreadful.

Indeed. Celebrate his films, sure, but let's not forget that he was a wife-beating arsehole.
"I don't think there is anything particularly wrong about hitting a woman--although I don't recommend doing it in the same way that you'd hit a man. If a woman is a bitch, or hysterical, or bloody-minded continually, then I'd do it."

How old were those comments? He hasn't really been in the public sphere since he retired in the early 2000s, I wonder if his dinosaur views mellowed with age.

Legendary actor though, a staple in some of my favourites growing up.

That was perhaps a poor choice of quote; I thought it was from a late eighties interview but actually he said it on the set of Thunderball in 1965.

A quote from that interview that I thought I was referencing:


That's from a man approaching 60 years old. I find it difficult to believe that such a long held opinion would change. Look at the smirk that spreads across his face as he says "they can't leave it alone"; he thinks he's being witty or charming.

Is it true he was asked to be Gandalf in LofR but turned it down because he couldn't under the plot? Can you imagine what the film's would have been like :lol:
