MARTIN Compston has said that Sean Connery once launched a foul-mouthed tirade at a Michelin-starred chef who had cooked for them.
The James Bond actor, who died in 2020, allegedly interrupted the chef who was describing the meal during a posh dinner at Edinburgh Castle by telling him to "get on with the f****** story".
Line of Duty star Compston, 38, said it was "intimidating" dining with the legendary actor.

Speaking on his Restless Natives podcast with Gordon Smart and special guest Tony Curran, he said: “I was at a dinner once with him at Edinburgh Castle and it was one of them ones where the chef comes out and describes the meal, and Sean is standing at the front.
“This poor lad is going ‘This is a big honour from me in terms of where I've started’ and you just hear him [Sean] go ‘Ah for f*** just get on with the f****** story son and serve the food’.
“This poor five-star Michelin chef in front of you just crumbling whilst he's going through a menu, with Sean rolling his eyes at you.
“He's an intimidating big guy."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
