Back then, Sean Connery was mostly known as 007, and he hung out in Hollywood. So this is the kind of liquor ad he was doing then.
These days, he’s known as Sir Sean Connery, and he hangs out a lot in Scotland, where he was born and raised.
I wonder what the Scottish Whisky Distillers Association thinks of the ad above…
Well, of course, this tells us nothing about what liquor he was “doing”, only who was paying him for the use of his name and image.
I kind of prefer his more recent image with the gray and the beard. And I’m doing my part to keep the Scottish distillers in business, whatever Sir Sean might be up to.
