Sir Sean Connery Alzheimer’s fears strongly denied

Sir Sean Connery does not have Alzheimer’s disease according to his spokeswoman.

A spokeswoman for Sir Sean has strongly denied reports that the Scot is suffering from Alzheimer’s after a German newspaper article carrying quotes from best friend Michael Caine said that the star was “no longer in control of his senses”.

In an interview with Bild am sonntag Caine said: “One must have serious concerns for him.”

Bild said the loss of his memory is “noticeable” and that only a few close friends and confidantes, like Caine, had access to him.

“Connery forgets his life,” was the headline in the paper, Europe’s biggest selling Sunday newspaper.

The newspaper said his wife Micheline Roquebrune, 77, was always frightened to pick up the phone when he was out on the streets of Manhattan in case of bad news, suggesting the 007 legend can sometimes not find his way home.

Connery, 83, told a British newspaper two years ago that he had no interest in acting any longer.

The last time Connery appeared before the cameras was in 2003 for ‘The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.’ He and Caine became friends during the shooting of the 1975 epic ‘The Man Who Would Be King.’

A spokeswoman for Connery denied the claims, saying that Caine had been misquoted.

“The same article also have Sean living in Spain where you all know he does not live,” the spokeswoman said.

“This [article] is truly silly and nonsense. I do not wish to give credence to this ridiculous story.”
