Ron Perlman explains why he repeatedly spat in legendary Bond actor’s face

• Actor Ron Perlman revealed he had to spit in Sean Connery's face up to 16 times while filming the 1986 medieval thriller The Name of the Rose.
• Perlman initially hesitated to perform the action because Connery was his hero, but the Scottish actor insisted he do it so filming would not be delayed.
• Due to the need to capture the scene from multiple camera angles, Perlman ended up repeating the action 16 times throughout the day.
• Connery played James Bond in seven films between 1962 and 1983, and won an Oscar in 1987 for his role in Brian De Palma's The Untouchables.
• The legendary Scottish actor passed away in his sleep aged 90 in October 2020 at his home in the Bahamas.
