Sean Connery - brilliant, talented, courageous and elegant - celebrated his 90th birthday. The famous actor still looks pretty damn sexy to this day. Men always wanted to be like him, and women dreamed of being just around. However, only one woman keeps the keys to his heart - Micheline Roquebrune Connery.

For years as the most striking James Bond, Sean Connery has impressed thousands of viewers around the world. Even the recognized beauties of Hollywood could not resist him: Honor Blackman, Brigitte Bardot, Kim Basinger and Catherine Zeta-Jones - they all succumbed to his charms. But how did he manage to achieve such success?

Sean Connery grew up in poverty. His mother was a cleaner, and his father was a simple worker. From an early age, the future actor was taught to count every penny. From childhood, Connery was used to working.

First, he picked up the coal that fell from the coal miners' carts and sold it on the market, then he began to carry milk, and at the age of 13 he was simply forced to leave school to help his parents. Sean, whose first name is Thomas (this is what his parents and friends called him), started working.

Having matured a little, Connery decided to trade freedom for free food, uniforms and a regular salary. The actor, who has always been fond of bodybuilding, went to serve in the navy.

True, he was soon discharged due to stomach problems. From that moment on, the future James Bond takes up any job so as not to find himself in poverty again. He was a coal miner, steelmaker, road worker, and even a coffin polisher. Accidentally stumbling upon a vacancy in the theater, Sean became a stage worker. So he realized what exactly he wanted - to become an actor.

Connery made himself. He, despite ridicule from professional actors, managed to get rid of a strong Scottish accent. Connery recorded himself on a tape recorder and practiced rhetoric on his own for several hours a day.

In addition to the theater, Sean worked as security guards in the pool, moonlighted as a model in an art school, and spent all his free time in the library, reading classics one by one.

In 1954, Connery played his first film role, and in 1958 got his first major role. But a resounding success came to him in 1962 after the release of the first episode of "Bond". Connery became the idol of millions of people. The women hung themselves on him. And he was not distinguished by chastity.

What novels were not attributed to him. For the first time, the actor married at the age of 32, the then popular actress Diane Cilento. He stole the betrothed from her husband, and their wedding was a secret. No one knew that Agent 007 had a spouse and a son. It was important for Sean to maintain the image of a bachelor, which his image makers invented for him.

Having lasted less than ten years, this union fell apart. The blame for everything was the deafening glory of Sean, who was forced to hide his wife for a long time, and because of this she became more and more jealous. Relationships deteriorated. Even the statement that Connery was a family man could no longer save this marriage.

In addition, the actor recklessly spoke out that he considered it perfectly acceptable to hit a woman. It is no longer possible to wash this stain off his reputation. Only recently it became known that the loving handsome actor cheated on his wife on a regular basis, and even raised his hand to her.

While still married, Sean met French artist Micheline Roquebrune at a golf tournament. Feelings overwhelmed him. He did not speak French, and she barely understood English.

Micheline was a year older and married, and she had three children. But Connery was unstoppable. Neither his own wife, nor the husband of the desired woman, nor the language barrier, nor even the fact that they lived on different continents, could force him to abandon Micheline.

The artist lived in North Africa, Sean in America. He began to write to her and prepare the ground for a divorce. Only two years later, the most famous playboy in Hollywood decided to call Micheline on a date.

She was terribly offended, deciding that "this impudent upstart" thought that she would rush headlong to him just because he is the famous James Bond. But, having received the next message with a declaration of love, the Frenchwoman gave in. Thus began their secret meetings.

They rarely saw each other, which made it all the more difficult. And then one day, standing at the airport in line for boarding, Sean saw familiar legs in the next line and realized that there was his Micheline. How many men are able to recognize their beloved by their legs? Connery found out.

In 1975 they became husband and wife and have been inseparable for 45 years. Connery is not shy about claiming that his wife is the best woman in the world. He still invites her on dates, cares for her and touchingly holds her hand in his palms.

In a world where marriage is increasingly devalued and not as important as it used to be, seeing a couple who have lived together for 45 years and in which the spouses still love and believe in each other is almost a miracle.

But this is exactly the case with Sean and Micheline. They faced a lot of problems, and their story doesn't quite resemble the script for a romantic movie. But they did it.

The artist always accompanies her husband everywhere and always, not giving him the opportunity to look at other women. With all the confidence in her husband, Micheline understands perfectly well that Connery's novels on the side never stopped. But she admits that she knew perfectly well what she was doing.

In 1989, Connery was first named the sexiest man in the world, and in fact he was already almost 60 years old.

“For once, I’m speechless. Well, now my business will definitely go uphill!”- Sean commented ironically on the incident.

The actor's wife was rather indifferent to her husband's new status. However, to all questions about Sean's mysterious novels on the side, the artist replies: “I knew that I was marrying the man that all women want! And I understand them perfectly, but he is mine."

Sean also notes that he is happily married. Micheline is an ideal woman for him, whom he also considers to be much more talented than himself. She is the love of his life. His muse, his support and guide in life.

Their story still touches the hearts of many fans today. Now the couple live in a villa in the Bahamas, where they spent time together when they were still not free. They have not attended social events for a long time, they enjoy nature and quiet family happiness.
