Sean Connery, the very first and most famous portrayer of the iconic spy James Bond has recently taken his final breath and it didn't take long for the tributes to start pouring in.

The news of the 90-year-old's passing was shared by his son, Jason Connery, who revealed that his father died surrounded by his family in his home in the Bahamas.
