5 Most Baffling Accents Of Sean Connery
Yes, only Sean Connery is a true master of the Sean Connery accent. Shame he can't do any other though...
Take a moment, won't you, to appreciate the suaveness of that magnificent fellow pictured above. That glorious specimen of cool personified is Sean Connery. Let's not fool around here; if you don't know who Sean Connery is, you're really putting in a poor effort at this whole life thing. He was THE James Bond. He was Indiana Jones' dad. He was apparently named the "Sexiest Man Alive" at the age of 59. He is a knight of the realm. Connery is known for his long career in film, his distinctive roles (not to mention some high profile ones he turned down...Gandalf, anyone?), but most of all, he is recognised for his truly unique and endlessly entertaining accent. We've all tried it before, and most of us are terrible at it. Yes, only Sean Connery is a true master of the Sean Connery accent. And the man's a highly successful actor, so he must also be a master of other accents, yes? Well...not in the slightest. The one real black mark you can pin on Connery's career is that he seems either incapable of changing his accent for a role, or that he simply doesn't care enough to change his own, because HE'S SEAN CONNERY, DAMMIT. So here's a collection of my favourite of Sir Connery's most brilliant attempts, or lack thereof at cracking those pesky accents.
