My first crush on an actor was born in the Ritz Theatre in my hometown when I was five years old. The movie my family went to see was Thunderball, the fourth film in the Bond franchise.
I thought this larger-than-life man with the entrancing foreign accent was pretty cute. And as the years passed, he just got more and more attractive.
Kind of like someone else I know.
Sean Connery is still a gentleman and a charmer!
You already know which was my first serious movie crush at age 15:

Yep! Sir Sean has aged beautifully. I love this picture.
Basil!
I think you love british actors very much and you have good taste. They have class. But I didn’t like Sean Connery’s hairy chest (beuh). One the other hand, Mr. A’s chest is incomparably gorgeous and deliciously smooth.
I do love British actors, both the less-glamourous character actors and the handsome ones like Richard and Sir Sean. Leigh and I have been wondering if Richard is taking a break from waxing his chest while shooting The Hobbit. I don’t think he has a lot of chest hair even when he doesn’t wax it–nothing like Sean! 😉
On the AA boards, they have chest specialists. They make me laugh ! True, he hasn’t a lot but in series Strike Back our specialists have counted some (I don’t know if my sentence is correct)
I wasn’t surprised to see he let them sprout back out for Strike Back. Somehow I can’t see Porter as the type to wax. 🙂
Wow, doesn’t he look awesome on that photo! How old is he?
This photo was taken last year. He will be 82 this year. And he’s still got “IT.” 😉
There’s no way the man on that photo is 81!?!?
I am sure they probably did some touching up as they do with all ad photos, but yeah, that is pretty much what he looks like. Very distinguished.
He’s soooo fit!
He’s old enough to be my dad, but I don’t care! Even my husband once said, “This may sound odd for a heterosexual male to say, but I think Sean Connery has gotten better looking over the years.” 😉 Oh, I have a connection to Sir Sean. I once worked with a lady named Thelma who was originally from Edinburgh and her sister had actually dated Sean Connery (back before he was Bond). It’s a small world!
I’ve always had a penchant for dark-haired British actors; Sean Connery, Colin Firth, Pierce Brosnan (technically Irish but close enough!) and now Richard, my biggest crush of all. 🙂
