 While in Japan, Sean Connery (qv) and his wife  Diane Cilento (qv) were hounded by the international press. During  news conferences the press insisted on referring to Connery as James  Bond. Local newsmen attempted to photograph him in a rest room.  Thirty extra private security guards were hired to combat the excess  noise and hindrance but even the guards started to take photos.  Connery was allegedly photographed on a toilet and the picture  published in a Tokyo newspaper. To ease the tension the producers  removed his contractual obligation to do one more 007 movie, despite  being offered $1 million. After the film wrapped, Connery was  reportedly asked whether he found Japanese women attractive to which  he allegedly replied, "No." Apparently, many Japanese reacted to the  unpopular response by calling him bad names.
