Sean Connery Launches Autobiography
Sean Connery returned to his hometown in Scotland Monday to officially release his autobiography, Being a Scot.
The book examines the original James Bond star's life, working every-man jobs - such as a milkman in Edinburgh's Fountainbridge neighborhood. It then discusses the actor's controversial views on Scottish culture.
Such topics, if you are interested, include the works of poet Robert Burns, novelist Sir Walter Scott and also talks about Mary, Queen of Scots.
"It will illuminate what Fountainbridge's most famous former milkman thinks of many aspects of Scottish culture and life, including sport, architecture, and of course the gothic tendency in Scots literature," said Edinburgh International Book Festival director Catherine Lockerbie.
The reason for the controversy that was previously hinted at is that Connery supports the pro-independence Scottish National Party. Because of this, Connery, who now lives in the Bahamas, has said that he will not return to live in Scotland until the country gains its independence from the United Kingdom.
Connery has also starred in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Hunt for Red October, and The Untouchables.
He won his lone Oscar for his role in The Untouchables, where he helps take down Al Capone.
