Sean Connery, the Edinburgh-born actor who played James Bond, urged Scotland to embrace independence because it’s an opportunity too good to miss.

In an article for the New Statesman magazine this week ahead of the Sept. 18 referendum on leaving the U.K., the 83-year-old said “a yes vote will capture the world’s attention.” He said full autonomy would allow Scotland to develop and enrich its culture and market it more effectively.
