So .. 007 .. !!

The name James Bond brings to mind only one actor. And that is Sean Connery. The actor who went beyond James bond to play many amazing characters. But to most of us the original, and the definition of an international Spy. RIP Mr Connery. You live in forever through your films. pic.twitter.com/2y8GazTtsN
