Surprised and saddened


Have been watching for many years and never suspected.

Who is going to provide this kind of reporting now?

What happened?

Many women came forth and accused him of sexual assault, and he kind of admits he went too far. He doesn't agree with the accuracy of some of them and thought the feeling was mutual at the time, but, like Richard Dreyfuss' apology, he basically admits he was a jerk that went too far:

This also saddens me as I never expected it to happen from a guy like him. I've always been a fan of his interviews and he never struck me as that predatory type of guy.

reply

Wow, I never would have thought ever.

reply

I’m seeing why they say you should never meet your heroes.

reply

Unbelievable that he is an abuser too, he seemed like the greatest gentleman.

reply

Yeah, this one is surprising. Been a fan of his work for decades, always seemed like a sweet guy. I guess he was a little too sweet.

reply

I heard he was a flirt, not an abuser so this news suck!

reply

Never would have suspected it of him. He was always the epitome of class during his interviews. he always seemed like a gentleman.

reply

I agree, he always seemed so respectful and classy it is very hard to believe.

"Never would have suspected it of him. He was always the epitome of class during his interviews. he always seemed like a gentleman."

Exactly. People show you only what they want you to see.

reply

Yes, true. It's still so depressing to think that some people are such huge phonies.

reply

He says he thought there were "shared feelings". What I don't get is that in 2011, his 70th year, he thought he was still capable of pulling twentysomethings. How warped do you have to be to think things like that?

reply

For better or for worse 70 somethings pull 20 somethings all the time lol

reply

I don't think so, Tim. Not talking about gold diggers here.

reply

That depends, i know several people who think Sean Connery is still attractive.

reply

This is the whole upper class public and private of the US ... they are completely delusion about just about everything. You cannot blame government, or business, the issue is the top crust of the upper class who live in a fantasy world and all support each other in getting even more delusional, and making everyone else pay for it.

reply

Do you think he was hot in the nude?

reply

Just think of the wrinkles -- no!
