Having never bought wholly into it myself, I love this quote from Sean Connery: “Connery reveals he has no regrets about turning down a role in one of the biggest money-earning film series ever – as Gandalf the wizard in Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Not because the pay on offer was too low, however. “Yeah, well, I never understood it,” he said. “I read the book. I read the script. I saw the movie. I still don’t understand it.””
