10 Actors’ Confessions on the Hated Roles That Made Them Famous

7. Sean Connery

Sean Connery has publicly bashed the role that made him famous, although he struggled for years to make it big in Hollywood. Connery, who played the first James Bond, wishes he could kill off the character for good. Even though, Connery is 85, he’s still known all over the world as the original Bond. You’d think the Scottish star would feel honored to be associated with the 007 franchise, but it’s actually quite the opposite. Sean Connery has previously stated that he was grateful for the way that the role of James Bond changed his life. But he wasn’t thrilled about actually playing the character saying, “I have always hated…James Bond. I’d like to kill him.”
