Sir Sean 'gets better with age'

Sir Sean is now 71-years-old

 

Scottish screen legend Sean Connery has been rated as growing more attractive with his advancing years, according to a survey.

The Edinburgh-born actor, who made his name playing secret agent James Bond, topped a poll of stars who get sexier with age.

The poll was carried out for the October issue of Instyle magazine and showed Sir Sean still packs a punch.

The 71-year-old took more than a quarter of the votes, to beat other stars like Sting, Robert Redford and Paul Newman.

Rolling Stone Mick Jagger may be irresistible to a string of beauties but he did not prove a hit with the 1,000 readers who took part in the poll.
