Connery disregards son from will

Sir Sean Connery has left his son Jason out of his will, The Times reports.

According to the James Bond star's ex-wife Diane Cilento, Jason Connery - an actor and director - has experienced a turbulent relationship with his father.

Cilento recalled how the pair came to blows over Jason's surname: "Sean said, 'You only got this [acting] job because your name's Connery'. Jason said, 'Well I'll change it to something else'. Sean said, 'If you do that I'll f**king kill you'."

She added: "Jason loves him, but Sean has a problem about relationships, as everybody who's round him knows. Jason is a very devoted son. When Sean's sick he rushes there. They play golf together quite often."

Connery's personal fortune is believed to be in the region of £85 million. His son has appeared in Robin Of Sherwood and portrayed James Bond creator Ian Fleming in Spymaker.
