Sir Sean Connery backs Ewan McGregor as James Bond #6

Sean Connery, the man who will forever be James Bond in many people's minds, knows who he'd like to see next in 007's tux.

After joking at first that Madonna might make the best new Bond, Sir Sean told the New York Daily News his money is on fellow Scot Ewan McGregor. "He's very good," Connery said at the Italian-American Cancer Foundation benefit Monday.

The still-dashing septagenarian had a few words of warning, though.

"He should do it if he wants to do it," he went on. "But it's a bit of a poison chalice. It is slightly more difficult than people realize because it has to look very comfortable and very easy and very cool."

Thanks to `JP` for the alert.
