Connery's successful silent marriage
5 January 2009
It seems that ex-Bond star and Academy award-winning actor Sean Connery
has an unusual way of keeping the love alive in his marriage.
|
The star of seven Bond films has admitted that the secret to his happy
marriage is that he is unable to speak to his other half.
Connery's wife, Micheline Roquebrune, is a French artist and the pair
have been married for more than 30 years.
Commenting on his inability to speak in his wife's native tongue, the
78-year-old said: "I don't speak a word of French but often think that
what should be a handicap is actually a godsend."
It would seem that the couple are able to communicate on some level and
Micheline clearly speaks English as her husband explained: "She may only
be half my size but she's got a few snappy comebacks! We're total
opposites - that's what has kept us together all these years."
The star of Entrapment married Micheline in 1975 and has a son, Jason
Connery, from his previous marriage to Australian actress Diane Cilento.
