Sean Connery is basically a living legend. For starters, his name will always be inseparable from James Bond, thanks to the 1962-1983 run that saw him starring in seven films as the suave secret agent. Later in his career, he appeared in critically acclaimed films like The Untouchables, which earned him an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, and popular franchises like Indiana Jones. His achievements have garnered some serious accolades. He has been voted both "The Greatest Living Scot" and "Scotland's Greatest Living National Treasure," and in 1999, People declared him the "Sexiest Man of the Century." And to top it all off, he was officially knighted in 2000.

Connery worked his way up from his first gig as a milkman in Edinburgh to become one of the world's most accomplished actors. It's the kind of rags to riches story that would inspire any young artist, but today, Connery is far more likely to be spending time with his family at home in the Bahamas than rubbing elbows with other big names on the red carpet. In addition, several scandals may have prompted him to stay out of the spotlight. Here's why you don't see Sean Connery at the movies anymore — and why you probably won't catch him on the silver screen again.
