Sean Connery, who starred as the iconic James Bond and thrilled audiences in countless other memorable roles, has died at 90. Hollywood immediately started paying tribute to the silver screen legend, remembering him for Bond as well as his other iconic roles and effortless cool.

Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli wrote via Twitter that, “We are devastated by the news of the passing of Sir Sean Connery. He was and shall always be remembered as the original James Bond whose indelible entrance into cinema history began when he announced those unforgettable words — ‘The name’s Bond… James Bond’ — he revolutionized the world with his gritty and witty portrayal of the sexy and charismatic secret agent. He is undoubtedly largely responsible for the success of the film series and we shall be forever grateful to him.”

The family of Sir Roger Moore, who died in 2017 and played Bond in seven films from 1973-1985, made a statement on his Twitter account. “How infinitely sad to hear the news Sir Sean Connery has passed away,” the tweet says. “He and Roger were friends for many decades and Roger always maintained Sean was the best ever James Bond.”

Mike Myers, who parodied the James Bond franchise with his popular Austin Powers persona, said “I loved Sean Connery as did my British father. A great actor. A legend,” in a statement to Variety.

Sam Neill, who starred with Connery “The Hunt for Red October,” tweeted, “Every day on set with Sean Connery was an object lesson in how to act on screen. But all that charisma and power- that was utterly unique to Sean. RIP that great man, that great actor.”

Hugh Jackman wrote, “I grew up idolizing Sean Connery. A legend on screen, and off. Rest In Peace.”

Author Stephen King chimed in, writing, “Sean Connery in his first starring role, as a washed-up boxer. He was a fine actor and by most accounts a good guy.”

Paul Feig wrote, “Few were cooler, few more suave, few more effortless. He showed us all how it could be done and he thrilled and entertained us the entire time. RIP Sir Sean Connery.”

Kevin Smith wrote, “He was my Dad’s James Bond, so Dad supported Mr. Connery’s career his entire life, always taking me to see any movie his fave actor was in. I have sweet memories of watching Dad watch his movie idol. So Sean Connery’s passing also feels like I’m losing Dad again. RIP, Dr. Jones.”
