Are these recent pictures? He looks amazing!

I saw an interview with him five years ago and he looked -- and sounded -- pretty frail. Seems to have recovered if these photos are recent.

huh. i always assumed Connery lived in some old damp castle in Scotland. but it's a mansion in the Bahamas. Nice.

he moved from the UK back in the 1960s due to tax reasons.

And people wonder why he choses not to do anymore movies, and just wants to enjoy retirement.

He's earned it.

He likely wasn't in the direct path. High ground too.

"The actor — who moved to the Bahamas in the 1990s — owns a mansion in Lyford Cay, an exclusive gated community about 90 miles from Great Abaco, which was worst hit by the hurricane."

I hope he makes some humanitarian efforts to help his countrymen. We may never know, but I imagine he's wealthy enough to at least help some individuals or contribute a significant amount to help get people into a better situation. I don't watch much news but the few pictures I've seen look absolutely awful.
