Top of the pops at 77...
SIR Sean Connery has been voted the sexiest film star over 60, in a poll which saw him beat his one-time on-screen son Harrison Ford. Sir Sean, 77, came top in the annual Movies.com Readers' Poll Awards for Favourite Actor over 60, with film fans picking the former James Bond over his Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade co-star. The award will be no surprise to the Edinburgh-born actor, who has collected a huge number of such accolades since turning 60. People magazine named him the Sexiest Man Alive in 1989, the year he played Indy's dad. Second place in the Movies.com poll went to Robert De Niro, 64, while Ford, 65, in was in third place. Rounding out the top were jack Nicholson, 70 and Al Pacino, 67. Source: Edinburgh Evening News
