Nicolas Cage expresses regret over missed time with Sean Connery

During a panel at New York Comic Con, actor Nicolas Cage expressed regret regarding his friendship with the late Sir Sean Connery. Cage noted that while he and the former James Bond actor shared a “great relationship” and a close friendship, he regrets never taking Connery up on his repeated invitations to play golf.

Cage explained that during the time they were close, he preferred spending his free time fishing on his boat rather than on the golf course. He described Connery as a “protective and warm” person and a true friend whom he would frequently visit at his home.

Cage also reflected on Connery’s influence on his career, noting that watching the film “Dr. No” with his father inspired him to become an actor. The two previously starred together in the film “The Rock.”
