Sean Connery ‘not asked’ to James Bond reunion at Oscars

Sir Sean Connery apparently knows nothing about a planned James Bond reunion at this year’s Oscars to celebrate 50 years of the franchise, it has been claimed.

The original 007 was thought to be among the other Bonds who were invited to take part, with Sir Roger Moore, Daniel Craig, George Lazenby, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan all said to be taking part.

However, it was claimed today that Edinburgh-born Sir Sean’s press agent has claimed no one has so far approached him to get involved.

Recent reports indicated that Eon Productions wanted Sir Sean to take part in the reunion which would see all James Bond stars together on stage, but so far no one has been in touch with the Connery camp.

The latest instalment in the Bond series, Skyfall, has been applauded by fans and critics alike, earning the franchise its first Oscar nomination in 30 years, competing in 5 categories.
