I'll never act again, says Sir Sean Connery at 80
SCREEN legend Sir Sean Connery -who celebrates his 80th birthday today - says he will never act again.
The Bond star has also told of his recent health problems, but said he was on the mend.
"I don't think I'll ever act again," he said. "I have so many wonderful memories but these days are over.
"I'm swimming every day and I'm even trying to get the golf swing working again - but that might take a little bit longer. During the summer I wasn't feeling great."
Meanwhile, rival 007 Sir Roger Moore, 82, has hailed Sir Sean as the greatest ever Bond.
Sir Sean also received a message of congratulations from the city's civic leader.
Lord Provost George Grubb sent the former Fountainbridge native a birthday telegram.
