Oh yesh, he's the Great Pretender

Article Abstract:

Actor Sean Connery has gained cult status, both in his native Scotland and elsewhere. He has sometimes behaved controversially, but Scots have been able to forgive him for this and for the fact that he has been a tax exile since the 1970s. He has gained a particularly high profile through his campaigning for the Scottish Nationalist Party. However, he emphasizes that he has no desire to enter politics. He now plans to spend more time in Scotland, but his main role will remain that of an unconscious figurehead.

They retired in 1967 to raise families, but made a comeback in 1985 and are still very popular. They have a particularly strong following among the gay community.
