A perfect speech. Word perfect, not read off a teleprompter. Humble yet aware of his own greatness. His mother. His father. Fountainbridge name checked, where it all began. A profound observation about learning to read and the quality of novels, scripts. An acknowledgement of the qualities admired in colleagues. An incredibly funny joke that only a person of great experience can deliver. Profound gratitude.

He was born in our great capital and raised in Fountainbridge. In 1930, 55yrs and 20 miles away, I was born. His upbringing was in an area that epitomised what (at that time) was to live with nothing of monetary means. Industrious and people of grit were second to none...Sean Connery dreamed bigger than just these absolute requirements as a Scotsman. He gave our country a gift, bigger than any award of gold or glamour. 70yrs on, I worked for an Investment Management Firm with Assets Under Management of Over $7 trillion.....a mere 1000 yards from where he grew up. On my lunchbreaks, I would take time to walk the same paths, understand what it was to have not only hopes, dreams....but to remember who made my great country what it is today. So...thank you Sir Sean, for being everything I aspire to be. Michael
"....I got my big break, I learned to read, it's that simple and it's that profound". No truer words were ever said. Great, talented man, from beginning to the end. RIP Sir Sean Connery, you will be missed. Your shoes are too large to fill.
That Scottish sense of humour was always noticeable in Sean Connery, notice how all the audience are immersed intensely in what Sean has to say, true respect for a great actor. RIP Sean. 🙏👍🏴
Awesome to see sir Sean Connery so real, raw and emotional here. It would be very sad if people just remembered him (wrongly) as some "misogynist" because he said some spicy things abouit women in an interview once. His wife obviously admired and adored him (and he her) and he seems like a good man (insofar as one can judge from a distance).
We didn’t know we lacked anything, because we had nothing to compare it to… If only parents raised their children like that today. I loved Sean Connery.
It was a shame that the significance of his death was poorly reported and unpublished with little to no historical or cultural coverage & commentary on his Amazing career or Life.! As we all know too well, the whole World was Overshadowed by the covid Disaster & Complete Government Failures.!!😬😠 The names Bond, James Bond.😎 👍👍
There can be only one... James Bond, Joe Roberts, Juan Sanches Villa-Lobos Ramirez, Malone, Henry Jones Sr. and Marko Ramius - only to name a few of the roles he made immortal, one and only.
He made a good point, I work in aged care and just recently i was talking to my 86 year old father. I said to him that things were much more difficult in his time, No he said "In his day it was the same for everyone so it wasn't hard because it was the same for everyone.
In regards to the comments, wife beater, unapologetic, Poland, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Could someone please explain.? 🤔 Context is everything. Wondering if it's in reference to Nazi Germany and the invasion of Poland, also the Arnold Schwarzenegger connection, is that because his father was a Nazi..? Or do i just have it wrong.? Back to the start. What does that have to do with Sean Connery.? The one & only 007 James Bond
He talks .. You most definitely listen.. His presence commands respect its scary.. I was literally hanging on every word he said.. RIP Mr Bond .. No better Bond.. FACT .. Even a voice over for Dragonheart was sensational ..
This was/is a real man's man. I love everything he ever did. I love this man so much I named my son after him 33 years ago. RIP Mr Connery, you are missed.
Ok, I know I'll get some scoffs, but my dad had similar features to Sir Sean Connery (mustache, bald head and tall, and a man's man). And I looked at pictures of Mr. Connery before he died, and with his mustache and glasses, he looked so much like what my dad would have I started to cry. My dad loved Mr. Connery and his movies. We watched The Rock, The Hunt for the Red October, The Untouchables, and my dad's favorite, The Man Who Would Be King. I was very sad to hear of his passing, though he got to live many more years than my father did. I hope he realized how loved he was by his fans and his family.
We didn't know that we lacked anything because we had nothing to compare it to.This is what people say when they are aware of their life and only their life.This is a statement that applies to almost all people on this Earth.
During the pandemic I find myself being drawn to his James Bond films. Just watched Thunderball for the very first time. I can't believe I never saw this Bond movie before now.
There Can Only Be ☝️And What A Hell Of A Legacy & Story! We All Thank You 🙏 For Just Bein You Sean! You are that Rare Jewel 💎. Thanks for the Memories 🙏👍✊😊
God bless you Sean, I will forever remember you as a person and actor who made a life long impact on me and so many, hope to finally meet you somewhere on the other side. Farewell for now my friend...
BOND JAMES BOND . MARTINI SHAKEN NOT STIRRED . THANKYOU SIR SEAN CONNERY FOR THE MEMORIAL MOMENTS ON THE GOLDEN SCREEN . THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS MAY YOU REST IN PEACE
One gets the sense he knew things were changing as he aged.....as a Scot he was loved in his country and my only wish was he lived to see an independent Scotland
Hazi. Rest In Peace Mr Bond. Coz you only live once nt twice. Respect on your 🚾🌟💯👍 job done as an actor in the filming industry. You will be remembered as the first sexy bond in the 60's. Goodbye 007.
In addition to all the other really nice things about Sean, I respect how he has always embraced his male-pattern baldness. No comb-over, no toupee, no shaving it all off, no plugs. Just the confidence to embrace his male-pattern baldness, which says to the world, "This is me. I'm not ashamed of it whatsoever." Way cool!
I think you should check your facts before making a crass comment like that. He may have lived abroad but never ever forgot his roots & did immense work for his homeland ! RIP Sean, one of a kind .@@timsmith2279
Blofeld: James Bond, allow me to introduce myself. I am Ernst Stavro Blofeld. They told me you were assassinated in Hong Kong. Bond: Yes, this is my second life. Blofeld: You only live twice, Mr. Bond. Your be missed. Mr Bond.
Okay we know he was a great Bond but let's look at his other movies like The Presidio and The Untouchables to name a couple. He made some classic films and was a fine actor.
Spoken from the heart from a man that has character
Talk about controlling a room.. wow people hanging on every word! Respect.
A perfect speech. Word perfect, not read off a teleprompter. Humble yet aware of his own greatness. His mother. His father. Fountainbridge name checked, where it all began.

An incredibly funny joke that only a person of great experience can deliver. Profound gratitude.
The Best James bond ever. No body can match him. Never
That twinkle in his eye has been there from the very beginning. What a pro. RIP Sir Thomas Sean Connery

RIP Sean. 🙏👍🏴
My absolutely favorite all time actor.
He was the most handsome man. He was testosteron on two legs. He was Sir Sean Connery.

It is a sad day when we lose the big people of our world.

If only parents raised their children like that today. I loved Sean Connery.
Heartbreaking knowing Sean knew he was on his way out. God Bless him. God Bless you for the integrity you taught me during times of fear as a child.
This is from 2006. The man lived for another 14 years
@@michaelgordon3552 exactly what I wanted to reply to the comment but you already gave the reply :)
@@michaelgordon3552 I believe they meant he ended his career around that time, stopped filming for good.
It was a shame that the significance of his death was poorly reported and unpublished with little to no historical or cultural coverage & commentary on his Amazing career or Life.!

The names Bond, James Bond.😎
👍👍
I’ve loved this man since I was 7yrs old! 69 now!
He is the epitome of greatness. And so humble. He has been a blessing to the world.....
A gorgeous man, even in his old age! That twinkle in his eye indeed! The one and only Mr Bond! RIP Mr Connery.
For the last nearly 20 years, I've lived all of 2 minutes walk from where the man was born. A great talent, and a great loss :(
Your a lucky human.
I loved him. He was good-looking man and he was the ONLY James Bond. The best fine actor👍❤️❤️❤️❤️. R.I.P.
He was a great age.90 is a great age. He is in heaven now.
So do I think. The only true James Bond. Good looking man, deep and meaningful voice, speaking eyes : great ,versatile and charismatic actor.
Bev..." he was the ONLY James Bond"...yep!!! 👍
Agree !! The one and only Bond. The rest paled in comparison
NOT the only, but the BEST 007
A great actor and a beautiful man, who could also dance! Sean left us too soon. We will always love you.
There can be only one... James Bond, Joe Roberts, Juan Sanches Villa-Lobos Ramirez, Malone, Henry Jones Sr. and Marko Ramius - only to name a few of the roles he made immortal, one and only.
This video was posted the day of his passing....and we still miss you fondly
thank you, sean connery knight of the realm,

Unfortunately the last of the very masculine with no apologizes actors.
He was a wife beater.
@@ReaderOfThreads he was a no nonsense guy. Loved his wife and she loved him
unapologetic is the word we use in Poland 😂
Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The only reason you would disagree, I know, and shame on you.
In regards to the comments, wife beater, unapologetic, Poland, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Could someone please explain.? 🤔
Context is everything.
Wondering if it's in reference to Nazi Germany and the invasion of Poland, also the Arnold Schwarzenegger connection, is that because his father was a Nazi..? Or do i just have it wrong.?

Ah, the magic of UA-cam! Connery was one of my favorites! And I’ve never seen this acceptance speech…brought a tear to my eye!
Best speech I've heard yet. RIP Mr Connery
He lived a GREAT life!! He out lived many many actors of his time.. ❤️❤️❤️ HIM..

Yeah, especially the hitting women bit. He loved to hit women. A real man's man though.
@@jb-nn8sk you should punch bitches not slap.
Alway class, a man's man with an unfair amount of charisma & good looks that lasted a life time. A one off 👏👏
Will you please show Sean Connery's speech transcription? Thanks.
A true legend
The best bond, and legendary actor
RIP Sir Sean Connery. We miss you
I'm so glad he got into acting, glad for his moments on screen to enjoy over and over.
Sean such a legend, the hill, Dr no, the the man who would be king, the untouchables thank you.
Marvellous actor and human being RIP Sean

Great sense of humor. This is the man other men try to be like.
So true
tru dat
There can only be one!!! RIP Sir Sean
He is James Bond.
He's the only one I feel was "James Bond."
This speech is a masterpiece.
That amazing interminable spirit!
Great guy ! One of my most admired actor.
During the pandemic I find myself being drawn to his James Bond films. Just watched Thunderball for the very first time. I can't believe I never saw this Bond movie before now.
HE WAS AND IS SO WONDERFUL.
What a man a brilliant man
WOW - "Got my big break at age 5 - I learned to read - it's THAT simple." PHEW, THAT is profound
The most profound thing happened, “I learned to read”..
Very true, I left school at 13 & I thank god I loved reading it was my saviour without a doubt! ‘Vale Sir Sean’ Dx
@@ro19gat Ditto!
@@veritasetlibertas7889 That's it.... Learn to read and you're winning, love reading...you're on a roller coaster.
An man among men. He will be missed
The first James Bond and the one that all others are judged by! No one can or ever will match his talent! Gone for now but not for ever!!!
There won't be another like him.
There Can Only Be ☝️And What A Hell Of A Legacy & Story! We All Thank You 🙏 For Just Bein You Sean! You are that Rare Jewel 💎. Thanks for the Memories 🙏👍✊😊
It almost seemed here like he knew he was done with it all. And was saying goodbye to it.
God bless you Sean, I will forever remember you as a person and actor who made a life long impact on me and so many, hope to finally meet you somewhere on the other side. Farewell for now my friend...
That was a wonderful speech, rip
Sean Connery was the true definition of Charisma.
God Bless sir Sean Connrey, as the King of the James Bond films he was playing in. may he rest in Peace. Magi Gross.
Everybody is just in awe
We miss Sean. He was the best.
I love that moment between Sean aka James Bond and Mike Myers, Austin Powers himself
Loved him all the way....and still do. One of a kind.
Ahh MacCleod...
Dont you just loved the way he says admiral at 3.59 the scottish accent is just beautiful
BOND JAMES BOND . MARTINI SHAKEN NOT STIRRED . THANKYOU SIR SEAN CONNERY FOR THE MEMORIAL MOMENTS ON THE GOLDEN SCREEN . THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS MAY YOU REST IN PEACE
A class act right to the end
I've always wondered if Sean Connery has seen Austin Powers. His reaction to Mike Myers tells me he did (and obviously liked it).
One gets the sense he knew things were changing as he aged.....as a Scot he was loved in his country and my only wish was he lived to see an independent Scotland
People really must learn and take it into the core of your being that life is fecking short. Dont realise too late, so dont waste a moment.
Fun and industrious, talented and enthusiastic.
Outstanding speech ❤
...Rest In Peace Sir Sean Connery💓
He is gorgeous. R.I.P.
Love the fact they play the bagpipes
Hazi. Rest In Peace Mr Bond. Coz you only live once nt twice. Respect on your 🚾🌟💯👍 job done as an actor in the filming industry. You will be remembered as the first sexy bond in the 60's. Goodbye 007.
What a classy man.
I could say so much. But I will simply say...Perfect.
❤ Handsome class, RIP & thank you ❤

Well, he was not only bald but one of the most handsome man on Earth.
A true Scotsman who fought vigorously for Scotland’s independence. Farewell my friend.
Once he became famous he turned his back on Scotland, moved to live abroad !

Sir Sean Connery walks to the podium, past all the people...
the men think : "He played James Bond..."
the women think: " He IS James Bond..."
Blofeld: James Bond, allow me to introduce myself. I am Ernst Stavro Blofeld. They told me you were assassinated in Hong Kong.
Bond: Yes, this is my second life.
Blofeld: You only live twice, Mr. Bond.

Great Actor, I like his movies.
God, I miss him!
Okay we know he was a great Bond but let's look at his other movies like The Presidio and The Untouchables to name a couple. He made some classic films and was a fine actor.
Words are not enough
The Original James Bond. Great Actor
Well deserved 👏 🙌 👏
