Daniel Craig has paid a fond tribute to original James Bond, Sir Sean Connery. Earlier yesterday Sir Sean's son Jason revealed that the much-loved film star had died at the age of 90. Jason told how his dad died 'peacefully in his sleep' in the Bahamas surrounded by loved ones. Following the announcement, current Bond Daniel Craig spoke out to pay his condolences.

The Skyfall actor said: "It is with such sadness that I heard of the passing of one of the true greats of cinema. Sir Sean Connery will be remembered as Bond and so much more. He defined an era and a style. The wit and charm he portrayed on screen could be measured in megawatts; he helped create the modern blockbuster. He will continue to influence actors and film-makers alike for years to come. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones. Wherever he is, I hope there is a golf course," he joked.
