Jason Connery: 'My dad isn't a tyrant'

Sir Sean Connery's son Jason has responded to claims that his father had disregarded him from his will.

Jason, the son of ex-007 Connery and Diane Cilento, hit back at his mother's recent comments regarding his relationship with his father.

Jason said: "I am truly sick of reading about my father and our relationship and of his being portrayed as some sort of monster or tyrant who rules my life by cutting me off from his wealth."

He added that his father, whose fortune is believed to be in the region of $85 million, lent him money to buy a house following his divorce.

He said: "I asked my father for a loan, he immediately said 'yes' and when I said I wanted to pay him back he would not hear of it."
