'Bikinis or Nothing,' Sean Connery's Granddaughter Turns Heads With James Bond-Inspired Photos

The granddaughter of Sean Connery, Saskia Connery, just dropped what seems to be her latest James Bond-inspired Instagram post. The photoset is stunning, but the message of the caption is perhaps the most Bond-coded, and perhaps, a secret shout-out to recently retired Bond producers, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson.

On Monday, April 14, Connery dropped a massive photoset of herself in Indonesia with the caption: "bikinis or nothing - countdown till summer." 

As the caption indicates, the photos show Connery in a variety of bikinis, ready for the summer adventure. And her underwater-adventure style is very Thunderball-esque, perhaps the most famous of the aquatic 007 adventures her grandfather starred in. Like Bond creator Ian Fleming, Connery loves island life, and generally makes her home in the Bahamas, where she's part of Ocean Conservation efforts on behalf of The Connery Foundation.

But, in addition to her photos looking like something straight from an old James Bond paperback cover, Connery's "bikinis or nothing" quip might have been a reference to the production company EON, which managed the James Bond films from 1962 to 2021, and recently, acquiesced to Amazon. EON stands for "Everything or Nothing," a phrase that echoes James Bond's family motto "The World is Not Enough."

Whether or not Connery was paying tribute to the era of EON ending or not isn't clear. But, in her adventure to help preserve the world's oceans, it's clear that once again, Saskia Connery is keeping the spirit of James Bond very much alive. Amazon should take notes.
