Struggling Sean Connery Uses A Cane While Guided Through NYC

Sean Connery continued to shock fans as the screen legend hobbled through Manhattan — once again accompanied by a handler, and now reduced to using a cane!

An eyewitness reported that the former 007 was "moving slowly and carefully" while taking an early-morning stroll in NYC. The troubling sight was no surprise to readers of The National ENQUIRER, though, after Sean was caught relying on a helper to walk out after a spa visit just days before!

Sean has been attending the U.S. Open in New York City — where the James Bond theme was even played in his honor as he took his seat at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.

Sadly, this isn't the first time that The ENQUIRER has caught Sean looking frail.

Sources reported that Sean — whose fellow Bond star Roger Moore passed away in May — also had benign tumors removed from his vocal cords and a kidney. “He’s lost a lot of weight,” an insider confirmed in late 2016.
