Sir Sean Connery Interview on Privacy, Peter Jackson, and Local Comedy

An excerpt from american Student Radio DJ Tony Martin's interview with the usually very private Sir Sean Connery, about his home away from home in New Zealand, recently moving to an even quieter part, and how he and his wife Micheline value their privacy.
He also talks about his admiration for Peter Jackson, almost becoming Gandalf, and the promise in the New Zealand film industry.
Ever gunning for the underdog, Sean later gives glowing praise to New Zealand or 'Kiwi' Comedy, mentioning the likes of local heroes Flight of the Conchords and Rhys Darby.

I finally found some details on the third comedian Sean mentions, the impressionist his wife liked.

He has a twitter address twitter. com/simonmckinney,

a website simonmckinney. com

and a facebook page facebook. com/SimonMcKinney.

I personally don't see anything great about him.

Sean Connery. I met him once. He told me to keep up the good work and patted me on the head. What a lovely chap. Great interview

@2011TREADSTONEI think Sean is only talking about those members of the public who are rudely intrusive, as opposed to the fans who might pleasantly approach him.

He is not saying to everyone to keep away, merely reinforcing his, and other celebrities, wishes for fans to be civil and spare a thought for other's privacy, famous or not.
