Actor and Scottish icon Sean Connery was recently treated to a warm reaction by fans who had gathered to celebrate his birthday and the release of his book Being a Scot.
During an event held as part of the Edinburgh International Book Festival, the 78-year-old was greeted by nearly 600 admirers.
As he entered the room, the crowd cheered, while the more musical among the audience burst into renditions of Happy Birthday, the Times reports.
The film legend then proceeded to entertain the people present with anecdotes and fielded questions about the book and his personal life.
A fellow actor to have received warm birthday wishes recently was Patrick Swayze.
The Dirty Dancing star was treated to a birthday cake by crew members of TV series The Beast, which he is currently filming, Waleg.com reported.
His colleagues also wore matching black shirts displaying the phrase "Crazy for Swayze".
