Revealed: The row that led Sir Sean Connery to relinquish the movies for good
Nov 6 2011 Toby Mcdonald, Sunday Send
X-MEN's Jason Flemyng has lifted the lid on the "toe-curling" row which led Sean Connery to leave off movies forever.
And he admitted he was left wincing as the Link legend was involved in heated arguments with British manager Stephen Norrington on the set of The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
After completing the 2003 flick picture show Sir Sean, 81, said it would take a "Mafia hitman" to get him back in front of cover cameras again.
Flemyng - who played Dr Jekyll - said the incomparable and director went headto-head on set every day.
He said: "You understand when someone in your class is getting told off and your toes curl in your coloured Clarks' shoes? That's how it was.

Doug Moe: Still mourning the Borders on University, but others fill niche
07.02.12
Identification doesn't make a card that can express how much I miss
the Borders on University Avenue. I'm not alone, either.
Back in February when the pile up's closing was announced — it
happened in April — I wrote a column about how much I suspected I
would nymphet it.
I was surprised by the volume of mail from readers who were
already grieving. It wasn't straight that it was a large bookstore with
a fine selection of titles, although it was that. The Borders on
University was a restrict store that didn't feel like one.
It was a place to thumb among other book lovers, attend an
author signing or buy a foolscap and coffee and sit in the sun at an
outside table. Maybe most important, it was a pinpoint where, walking
down all those aisles with all those books on all those shelves,
you could stumble across a subtitle you'd never heard of that might
change your life.
