Connery selected as the top Bond
Brosnan No. 2, Goldfinger No. 1 villain
Sean Connery is the favourite big-screen James Bond, according to Metro readers.
When it comes to Bond, it’s Sean. Sean Connery is the overwhelming favourite big-screen James Bond, according to Metro readers.
A recent Metro Life Panel survey found 45 per cent of worldwide respondents pick the bald Scot as the best Bond. Slick Pierce Brosnan is a distant second at 24 per cent. Stoic Roger Moore has 18 per cent support, followed by the abdominal-workout obsessed Daniel Craig, the current Bond.
There’s also two guys on the poll named Timothy Dalton (two per cent) and George Lazenby (one per cent).
In terms of sex, Connery is the choice of both of them — 48 per cent of men, 43 per cent of women. Moore is No. 2 for guys (21 per cent), while women prefer Brosnan (29 per cent).
When you break the data down by country, nobody feels more passionately about anything than the Italians feel about Connery. He dominates the field, getting 62 per cent of the vote in Italy. No other Bond tops 15 per cent.
In Canada, we like the current Bond more than anyone else: 16 per cent of Canadian Metro readers take Craig. His next highest approval rating is in Sweden (14 per cent).
Overall, 42 per cent of Canadians pick Connery as top Bond, followed by Brosnan (26 per cent), Craig (16) and Moore (14).
As for the Bond bad guys, Goldfinger (21 per cent) is the worldwide winner. In Canada, we prefer the steely mouthed, multi-film villain Jaws (23).
We’re also the biggest Bond fans. Canada tops all 10 countries surveyed with 84 per cent of respondents who like Bond movies. Portugal (82 per cent) is next, followed by Denmark (76), Sweden (74), the U.S. (74), Hungary (73), Spain (72), the Netherlands (71), France (70), and Italy (68).
There were 5,598 respondents to the October survey.
