28. Sean Connery?

There's a story I heard about Mr Connery once. Seems in the South of France there is/was a classy restaurant where it was customary for the patrons to engage in food fights. Seriously. An actress whose name eludes me was attending one night when Mr Connery was there. Everyone was getting pelted with food, but he was untouched, so she made to throw something at him. He just waved his finger and shook his head, and went on eating. She found another target.

OTOH, why was he at a restaurant famous for food fights if he didn't want to play?
