James Bond star Sean Connery turns 90 today, and fans all over the world are joining in wishing him a happy birthday! Sean Connery has definitely lived up to the status of being an icon (and sex symbol) in his near-century on Earth – most notably helping to pioneer the James Bond movie franchise (and the entire spy film genre, along with it). However, Connery’s list of achievements on the screen runs much deeper than his seven Bond films: He’s done everything from classic films (Macbeth), Oscar-worthy dramatic work (The Untouchables) to some of the most famous action/adventure flicks (The Rock), not to mention all kinds of cult-hit favorites (Time Bandits, Highlander, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Entrapment, Finding Forrester) – and of course, a few famous geek genre duds (The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, The Avengers).

In that sense, it’s no surprise to see Sean Connery getting so much love on his 90th birthday.

Even Cool at Breakfast
Happy Birthday to a wonderful actor and my favourite James Bond, who even managed to make ordering breakfast one of the coolest things Iโd ever seen. My first Bond and the reason I became a fan, heโll always hold that number one spot for me. #SeanConnery pic.twitter.com/YfNM1BNSyr

In a weird way, that’s somehow some of the highest praise you can earn: making ordering breakfast look cool.ย
From Scotland, With Love

And let’s certainly not forget all the love that Sean Connery has inspired as a proud son (and activist) of his homeland, Scotland.ย

One of the few true movie stars. He can stand silently in a crowded room on screen and still command everyoneโs attention. An iconic performer. pic.twitter.com/YQYmc7GvWZ
