Sir Sean ages well!

About ten years ago, I sat across from him in the British Airways lounge in Heathrow. He looked even better then in the flesh than he does in a photo.

Did you get an autograph?!

No - he was obviously busy with someone, but I watched as a group of Australians tied to first buy him a drink (drinks are free in the lounge!). Then they came back with a napkin for an autograph.

I was more than happy to be just seated that close. You don't often get a chance to be so close to a celebrity.

Yes it was - it would appear to be when he played Indy's father in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

It was the same on some of Sean's films when they were doing their best to make him younger - his later Bond ones for example, especially on his hair.
