30 seconds on the screen! But no one has forgotten this legendary actor at the end of Robin Hood

Signed in 1991 by Kevin Reynolds (director of Aquatic World) and directed by Kevin Costner, Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves is one of those films that accompanies many viewers’ adolescence and that we look back on with nostalgia today.

Clocking in at nearly two and a half hours, this medieval epic manages to revisit the Robin Locksley mythos by populating it with colorful characters (such as the nondescript Sheriff of Nottingham, expertly played by a fully fired-up Alan Rickman) and embellishing numerous and thrilling battles. sequences.

One last surprise!

Truly engrossing till its last seconds, the film has a final surprise for the audience in the last sequence. After the confrontation between Robin and the sheriff ended, we attended the wedding of the main character and Mariana, in Sherwood Forest.

The ceremony, presided over by Brother Tuck, could have remained completely classic if an unexpected guest had not intervened in the middle of the wedding:

“Wait, I’m going to talk!”– shouted an unknown voice from afar.

When we discovered the face of the newcomer, our surprise was twofold. Indeed, not only was it Richard Lomgoule, Marianne’s cousin and the real-life King of England back from the Crusades, but he was played by none other than… Sean Connery.

“I am forced to forbid this marriage… unless I myself lead to the altar”King Richard continued. “You are brilliant, dear cousin, especially I am honored, Earl Loxley, thanks to you I have retained my throne.”

For about thirty seconds (the end of the film) we had the pleasure of seeing the first James Bond actor on screen, in a role to match his career.

The British actor, who would soon play another mythical sovereign (since four years later, in Lancelot, he was to transfer his functions to King Arthur), would receive $250,000 for this scene alone. An amount that he would still decide to donate to charity.
