My mother and my grandmother both knew his first wife Diane Cilento and personally saw the damage he frequently inflicted on her which she would downplay, as wives of the time frequently did, and women still do today to prevent worse from happening

[3/?]...him being supported by the general public would send to the survivors of domestic and spousal violence. In light of the media storm, Connery announced that he was no longer willing to address the Scottish Parliament as his "mistreatment" at the hands of the media meant he risk doing more harm than good to the cause he supported. A close friend of his at the time quoted Connery as having said "I don’t believe that any level of abuse of women is ever justified under any circumstances". Personally I think he was an average actor, but also the greatest 007 ever. I also think (again, personal opinion) that he would have been a very, very bad man for any woman to be around, as his massive ego and fame made him think he could say and do whatever he pleased without repercussion. I also whole heartedly believe the only reason he ever tried to walk back or make excuses for those comments was when he realised they might harm his career or loose him money.

[2/?]...his opinion on slapping women for the next twenty two years, until he was interviewed by Barbra Walters in 1987 - the tone of which seems to be in direct opposition to his claims of twisted words two decades earlier. When Walters questions Connery about the Playboy article and hitting women, he states something along the lines of "my opinions haven't changed". Walters continues to press the issue, causing Connery to become visibly angry - the interview is on YouTube, go watch it - at one stage it really looks like he's going to physically attack Walters, his demeanour is openly threatening. The next event occurs in 2006 when Connery, a staunch supporter of the Scottish Nationalist Party, was due to appear at the Scottish Parliament to address SMP's over the matter of Scottish independence. When this was announced a media frenzy was whipped up over whether a man who's said it's ok to slap women should be allowed to take part in such an important public matter, and what message..

There are plenty of people who supported racism that are dead and everyone is yelling out to demolish their legacies (rightfully so), yet we cannot provide the same respect to women by showing domestic abuse/ violence towards women is so terrible we will not continue honoring those who condoned it, even in death? The hypocrisy of society at its best is on full display here...

“Call Me Crazy, But Ryan Reynolds”: Users Online Name 30 Actors Who Managed To Revive Their Career With A Single Role

Thats a lot of words for saying "I support violence against women"

“Call Me Crazy, But Ryan Reynolds”: Users Online Name 30 Actors Who Managed To Revive Their Career With A Single Role

It's not slander when it's true, and there are plenty of documented instances where he said it was OK to hit a women, my man. 🙄

“Call Me Crazy, But Ryan Reynolds”: Users Online Name 30 Actors Who Managed To Revive Their Career With A Single Role

I think it's very unfortunate that you have such an abusive pov. The fact that you are a woman and have this opinion is just disturbing.

“Call Me Crazy, But Ryan Reynolds”: Users Online Name 30 Actors Who Managed To Revive Their Career With A Single Role

Here's the thing, society today no longer accepts the excuse of racism being something "of the time" for those of his generation, so why tf are we still allowing this excuse for treating women as less than or violence towards women?? Just another way society says women are the least important, and we will make every attempt at excusing bad behavior since it is, after all, just a woman. 🙄🙄

"most women" It's wonderful that Betty White had a career for so many decades. But can you name another actress with that longevity? I can't, but I can name dozens of male actors who have.

“Call Me Crazy, But Ryan Reynolds”: Users Online Name 30 Actors Who Managed To Revive Their Career With A Single Role

Everything I've ever seen him in, he's playing the same character - himself. He might be a star, but he's not much of an actor.

“Call Me Crazy, But Ryan Reynolds”: Users Online Name 30 Actors Who Managed To Revive Their Career With A Single Role

So he didn't have a mind of his own or access to education? He didn't say it only in that interview, he affirmed his views that when the man brings home the money he's allowed to hit his woman should she complain years later in another interview.

“Call Me Crazy, But Ryan Reynolds”: Users Online Name 30 Actors Who Managed To Revive Their Career With A Single Role

But where to draw the line? If everybody lived their life using the model they grew up with then progress wouldn't be made. My POS father was a disgusting, selfish, insecure little man... I most certainly don't treat my partner the way he treated his.

“Call Me Crazy, But Ryan Reynolds”: Users Online Name 30 Actors Who Managed To Revive Their Career With A Single Role

I personally find it super easy to not hit my partners

“Call Me Crazy, But Ryan Reynolds”: Users Online Name 30 Actors Who Managed To Revive Their Career With A Single Role

Yes and good riddance. The man was an abuser.

“Call Me Crazy, But Ryan Reynolds”: Users Online Name 30 Actors Who Managed To Revive Their Career With A Single Role

You're going to be the unpopular opinion on that one my friend.

“Call Me Crazy, But Ryan Reynolds”: Users Online Name 30 Actors Who Managed To Revive Their Career With A Single Role

We've all been raised one way or the other, obviously. It's up to you to be a good person or not to be. Some kids don't agree with their parents awful views. Not all kids who get abused or have homophobic parents grow up to be abusers or homophobic, because they have their own brains. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have that mindset, but that doesn't excuse being a misogynist woman beater (:

What did this have to do with the comment?

“Call Me Crazy, But Ryan Reynolds”: Users Online Name 30 Actors Who Managed To Revive Their Career With A Single Role

“I don’t think there is anything particularly wrong in hitting a woman, though I don’t recommend you do it in the same way you hit a man,” the Playboy interview relayed. In 1986 Walters, rolling her eyes in dismay, reminded him of his argument: “You don’t do it with a clenched fist. You do it with an open hand. Remember that?” https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/sean-connery-often-said-it-was-okay-to-hit-a-woman-the-obits-barely-mentioned-it-1.4401030

Lots of men on this list but not many women. It's gotten better, but most women still cannot revive their careers after they (1) are assaulted by Harvey Weinstein; or (2) age

“Call Me Crazy, But Ryan Reynolds”: Users Online Name 30 Actors Who Managed To Revive Their Career With A Single Role

Most of what killed his career in the first place was his lack of acting talent and his refusal to consider his accent. EVERY role he plays is Sean Connery with his Scottish accent whether he's English, Russian, Spanish, etc...

“Call Me Crazy, But Ryan Reynolds”: Users Online Name 30 Actors Who Managed To Revive Their Career With A Single Role

Let's not forget he's dead.

“Call Me Crazy, But Ryan Reynolds”: Users Online Name 30 Actors Who Managed To Revive Their Career With A Single Role

Yes, I remember that interview. Its hard for some to shake off the way they had been raised unfortunately. Edit: Just to clarify my statement: An explanation for a behaviour is not an excuse. A lot of men of that time and also today CHOOSE not to evolve. This has nothing to do with a lack of education but with a lack of empathy. Their own self-esteem and sense of worth benefits from patriachy. Especially dehumanizing women in a way that never allows them to be equals gives them the power to treat them (like their children) as they please. They cannot connect emotionally with women and can therefore hurt them without regret. This "privilege" is deeply ingrained in their system of belief. Its like talking to people of a certain political party. There is no use. Sean Connery was so convinced that abusing females is perfectly fine, that he actually tried to rationalize this in a interview. There were no words that could have been spoken to him that would have convinced him from otherwise. I really dislike to be misunderstood in this kind of context. It is important to understand that everyone is responsible and accountable for their behaviour towards others.

“Call Me Crazy, But Ryan Reynolds”: Users Online Name 30 Actors Who Managed To Revive Their Career With A Single Role

Let’s not forget he supports hitting females

“Call Me Crazy, But Ryan Reynolds”: Users Online Name 30 Actors Who Managed To Revive Their Career With A Single Role

The fact that only she paid for this affair shows in what misogynist world we are living! Rossellini's career was not affected

Clever joke - thick remark. What is it with these people that they just can't see the joke? Do they have a sense of humour at all or is it just the irony/sarcasm that throws them every time? Someone commission a study on this - I need to know!
