The James Bond Twitter account wrote: 'Happy Birthday to our original 007, Sean Connery, who turns 90 today. With love from Michael, Barbara, everyone at EON and all your fans.'
A poll conducted by the Radio Times the same month declared Sir Sean the best James Bond ever.
More than 14,000 people voted for their favourite Bond with Daniel Craig, Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan giving Sir Sean some stiff competiton.
Dr No, the first of the Bond films, turned the actor into an international star.
His fame only grew with the ever more popular sequels From Russia With Love, Goldfinger and Thunderball.
After 1967's You Only Live Twice, Sir Sean turned his back on the franchise over fears of being typecast but was persuaded back for 1971s Diamonds Are Forever.
Sir Sean left Bond behind again, only to be coaxed back for a second time for 1983's Never Say Never.
