They also earned him many award nominations and wins. He won an Oscar, three Golden Globes, and two BAFTA awards, among many other nominations. And yet Connery’s death in 2020 meant that people started looking into his life with a slightly bigger magnifying glass. And what was unearthed was very unsettling. First, there was the issue of his 1965 interview with Playboy Magazine, where he flat out said it was justifiable for a man to hit a woman. Then there was his doubling down of that opinion when he was asked about it in the late '80s by Barbara Walters. Then the biggest bombshell dropped when his first wife, Diane Cilento, released a memoir that accused Connery of physically and mentally abusing her throughout their marriage.
Of course, by then Connery had started to deny ever even hitting that it was ok to hit a woman. But since he was already on the record a couple different times over the course of 30 years, it was hard to fully believe him.
