3. “It’s okay to hit a woman.”
Forget politic, forget tax. There was another issue rattled the world harder than those previous two we discussed.
Hi character, James Bond, is known for his women. The 007 always seems to treat his ladies right (until he meets another woman on the next mission). So, does the world expect Sean to treat women the same?
Sean is pretty straightforward with his opinion. Sometimes it comes across as short temper. But what he said still surprised the world.
In 1987, during an interview with Barbara Walters, he said, “There are women who take it to the wire. That’s what they are looking for, the ultimate confrontation. They want a smack.” This caused an uproar. But actually, back in 1965, he said the same thing (even more harsh) during an interview with Playboy magazine.
“An open-handed slap is justified – if all other alternatives fail and there has been plenty of warning. If a woman is a bitch, or hysterical, or bloody-minded continually, then I’d do it.” – Sean Connery.
