Sean Connery: Did he like Roger Moore as Bond? His reaction to on screen kissing! 

Very saddened but happy we had him. As a kid (and I'm only in my 30s) I loved anything he was in, my parents had all the bonds plus his other works and the same with Roger! Very fortunate for that.

Thank you for uploading this wonderful conversation. It is a tremendous eulogy to Mr. Connery in itself.

What year was this interview?

@@evankelly4346 It was October 1979. It was for the premier of the movie “Meteor”. I was one month into my 13 years as host of “Good Day”, a daily, live morning show that originated in Boston and was broadcast throughout New England. Ten journalists were invited to Flagstaff Arizona and flown, by helicopter, into Meteor Crater for lunch with the stars of the film; Sean, Natalie Wood and Martin Landau.

The interviews took place at a Flagstaff Hotel. You might enjoy the interview with Natalie Wood in my Channel. I have posted 600 so far... Thanks for watching.... Blessings to you!!

The world is a poorer place without a man like this.

Not to mention he is also an early internet legend due to a meme and website "You're the man now dog" or YTMND.

@@Claro1993 I assure you that he didn't give a fuck about that.

@@bartsimpsonsimpson3367 And you would be correct my friend......

A true man's man.

Thank you very much Gloria. Please enjoy my other interviews at Eileen Prose. I so appreciate your kind words. Blessings.....

Thank you so much. I am that woman and I hope you will check out my Channel (Eileen Prose) to look at more of my interviews. I really appreciate your watching and I loved the comment. Best to you...(I also love Batman and am so sorry about Adam West. I knew him well.)

I think Ellen had to be good because Connery wasn't always the easiest actor to interview.

Well said, yes she did

@@eileenprose8472 you did a great job Eileen. Why more interviewers can't be like you i don't know. Nowadays interviewers try to be bigger than the subject. Not you. The subject is central but not pandered to. Xx

You might want to hit those three little dots to the upper right of your comment and change that to "job"

Yes it was lovely .

They do, you're just regarded. Not regarded. A word that sounds like that but means about the opposite.

She asks incredibly leading questions. Like "would you say, in your opinion, that water is wet and puppies are adorable?"

Wow, seriously? I'm moving to Benahavis next week, and will need to check this out.

That’s awesome

That is awesome. I hope its locked in perpetuity in his honor.

Very cool ! Bond , James Bond! He IS BOND!

Wasn't that the golf club where Bing Crosby died, in 1977?

Very true. And Moore did something similar when Quantum of Solace came out: he publicly criticised the editing that stopped him from following the action sequences but was very clear that he liked Craig's actual performance.

James, thank you for watching and commenting. I am so glad that you enjoyed the interview. I hope you will go to my channel to see more. Best to you....

I will. Best to you as well!

She was real; that's probably why he was OK with it. He seems entirely allergic to putting on airs bullshit.

Tony

He was humble

And despite the title of the video, Sean doesn't really comment on Roger's performance. He's describing the overall films.

He's glad he is not being interviewed by that bitch, Barbara Walters

Haha what

Be the hero of your own story. Damn. He was great and all but believe in yourself. LOL

go slap your wife. you'll feel like him instantly

Just do it. Maybe a big part or a small; when you have time and you are needed, do the role. It is amazing what you can learn and the skills you will gain. The subject isn't important.

One of my favorite movies of his was, “ The Man who would be King!”

@@wataboutya9310 me too, excellent film.

Humble People Live In Monaco.

RIP but disagree on that Bond comment of yours.

@@MK-wi5gp I disagree too. I Love the Roger Moore movies. They are different, but still lovely. Brosnan and Craig are good too

Actually he RIPPED on Roger Moore in this interview. Not the definition of 'gracious'. The Bond characters were DIFFERENT. Why not leave it at that.

Humble..lol

For real

they werent addicted to the internet like us

@@gaz3 "What a great Jon the lady did. " well said? for real?

Inthea = In there

LAME

Needs to straighten his shelf..............isn't it!!!!!!!!!

Precishly...

@Matt from Wii Sports Lmao! Shenshashonal!

Not bad, if you can get it! Thanks for watching....hope you will check out my other interviews. Best to you.....

He is James Bond after all.

Luke Skywalker 0

Worked for it !

@Mr. Handsome Golf is just a good excuse to end up in the nineteenth hole.

He’s surprisingly eloquent

Such a dependence on effects..... I think we can all say that looking back on Moonraker. It was a reaction to Star Wars.

David L haha I actually wrote an essay on that for my bachelor. How Moonraker sort of wanted to lift on the succes of Stat Wars.

Until somebody can capture the essence that Conery, Sean Connery put into the character of Bond, there will always be only one James Bond. Anybody else is only somebody with the same name.

Sean was a cunt to everyone, but I think he genuinely liked Moore as a dude.

At least Kiel came back for Moonraker.Loved Jaws.

He was perfect for it. NONE have come close. Lazenby was tolerable.

Agreed. I’ve enjoyed them all, except Craig. But Connery set the bar on the top rung, with everyone else just hoping to get second place.

Did you know that he left the audition not having gotten the role? At the time, there were many more actors with a lot more experience than he did, and even he admitted later on that he wasn't the strongest actor they auditioned. But the casting director said it had to be him, despite the higher-ups says, because she watched him leave the audition, sling his jacket over his shoulder, strike match off a lamppost and light a cigarette and walk away. She saw how everyone's attention was drawn to him; men looked at him with admiration while the women with desire and she knew that he was the man to play Bond. Because he was Bond. Just a fun fact that I love bc it's just so wonderful and impressive that he was able to achieve what he did, by simply being himself.

Well said my man

He's wigs where great too

Yep! Name five famous Scotsmen in five seconds. He'll be there!

King James 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th. Nope! 🤣@@twentyrothmans7308

Too bad you can't say that for today's Bond.

Agreed, I really like that film. Seen it many times.

I watched it again a couple of days back. It's a good film, and well paced. I suspect some of the story was sacrificed for the pacing.

Im sure I read it was based on High Noon in Space

@@connor25 As much as I like Outland, in pails before High Noon.

For me, it's the man who would be King. What an adventure. I was young when I saw it first. Yes, i thought the Hill was great as well. Sean was in alot of good films. He definitely could act. A sound and humble guy as well.

The hill is a 10 outa 10

DIdn't he say though "A kiss the next time" but clearly referencing how she said you don't kiss a lot. Rather than him coming across as creepy Thought it was very funny either way.

@@murpho999 Yes, you are right. I misheard Sean.

Fashion in the 70s was all kinds of strange. But you know... At least it wasn't boring! People were experimenting with a lot of stuff!

Tell that to Tarantino, Scorsese, Nolan for "Oppenheim"....

Sean did have some comic moments too

They were both good - but in different ways.

Definitely an oversimplification. Connery had a tremendous sense of humor as Bond. He was especially good at deadpan and wry one-liners. And Moore could be very tough, serious, and believable during dramatic moments.

Except for the cliff scene in "For Your Eyes Only". Talk about coldblooded.

Yeah, he had it in quite badly for the production company at that stage I think too. I loved Moonraker as a kid but I'm glad there's more to Bond films than that.

All the special effects in the world cannot make up for a weak story. Remember 'Avatar?'

I love Moonraker. Very entertaining popcorn flick. Also good Bond girls.

Rip 007

The best 007 EVER...

The original James Bond, rest easy 007.

I thought that interview was his best. He handled her like a champ. He had me laughing. I think he even has her smiling. “Might get some fe-male too”. 😂

@@paarker I remember that! My favorite part was “they can’t leave it alone. They want to say it again”.

What many people don't get: Acting is a job like any other one. Actors borrow their body and voice to a imaginary character. That's all it is. But - they are not them!

Unless your Ken Roach / Ken Barlow

49? He looks 60!

"Bond"? It's Sean Connery.

LOL common did you really have to point that out?

Roger and Sean are different and so are their movies but both are good performances in their own right - at least they don'took like they are the East European thugs

maxwellfan55 49 lookin 62. Starter aging pretty good by You Only Live Twice

Haha

It was a comment on food nothing more. Sean have manners unless it is James Bond then he is naughty.

Including pussy galore

Brosnan was made to play Bond... He can thank his acting career- as a leading man- for being attached to that role...

Agreed. Moonraker was easily Roger's worst Bond, the script etc.

I think your right Rodger had a different character from Sean he had to, but my favourite Rodger bond was live and let die 😊

I've felt that Bond movies reflect the times they were made. Like during the counterculture movement and post-Vietnam era where Bond moved more towards fighting supervillains than purely doing the bidding of the government. Then it was back to east-vs-west, greed is good, and escapism... and finally extreme realism and violence.

Thank you for watching. I have posted so many of my interviews....many with the legends of entertainment. Hope you will check out my channel for more. I appreciate the comment Bander. Best to you....

Agreed. Sean was and still is the best Bond overall, especially the fight scenes in which he really looked like a guy who could do it for real. But I'd say Roger was the most charismatic and endearing Bond. You only need Dr No through to View in my eyes but I'm biased having grown up with them both regularly on the TV! Legendary actors and sorely missed.

Shut hell up

@@adamsapple7193 Well that was an intelligent response. /s You couldn't even manage a fourth word to make it coherent.

Unless you don't count violence against women a gentlemanly activity.

@@titanuranus3095 Agreed. Connery was a great actor who had many great roles in many great films (but, btw, not for the film "Meteor" that he's promoting here.) BUT he was not a great man, although, in fairness, neither are most of us. But I'm guessing that in the post "Me-Too" world, Sir Sean would have trouble getting work.

@@titanuranus3095 Well he was civilized about it. :)

He was amazing in that film no doubt.

The original FILM bond possibly. He wasn’t actually the first actor to play bond as Bond was on radio before the films. Bob Holness was the first bond.

Yep!! I missed out several times. LOL! Thanks for watching. Hope you will check out the other interviews on my Channel. Best to you....

Hardly. When you're talking about fantasy meteors falling from fantasy outer space you sound like a complete and utter moron.

Craig was actually closer to the books: using his alcoholism, womanizing, and boyishness to mask deep depression at being a thuggish murderer for his government. Goldeneye is my favorite movie though (Casino Royale is a close second)

@@andyrihn1 I prefer Octopussy myself but the films you mention are also good.

Sean Connery was the WORST,Period.

Sean Connery was crap. Only old fucks think he was the best, because they still live in the 'good old days' when rape and sexual harassment were considered 'being cheeky'!!!

Anna Linson I sense an sjw
