Racing legend wanted to give him more precious time with family and friends
Sir Jackie Stewart has revealed he sent his best friend Sir Sean Connery to a top US clinic used by A-listers in a bid to extend the 007 actor’s life.
The F1 hero paid tribute to his old friend, saying: “Sean Connery was a wonderful man. Oh, he was first of all – without doubt – the best Bond. He was terrific. And he was a good man and he was unspoiled. And he was one of my best friends.” The clinic is famous for its work in the field of cancer, cardiology and geriatrics, as well as neurology and addiction. Previous celebrities and VIPs using its services include King Hussein of Jordan, ex- US president Ronald Reagan and his wife Nancy, former first lady Barbara Bush and boxing icon Muhammad Ali.
Stewart made a secret visit to see the actor’s widow Micheline in Edinburgh when she and Connery’s family visited his homeland to scatter his ashes earlier this year. The former racing driver was spotted on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile by fans at the time and was said to have been at the Balmoral hotel, where Micheline and her family resided during their visit.
