London - Veteran actor Sean Connery has undergone surgery for a kidney tumour and is now recovering at home, his spokesperson said on Sunday.

The 75-year-old Scottish star underwent surgery a few weeks ago in New York and is recuperating at his house in the Bahamas, spokesman James Barron said.

"He's very fit - he's 100 percent plus," Barron said of the former James Bond actor.

Connery told The Sunday Times that he "was opened in five places."

Connery, an ardent Scottish nationalist, is scheduled to record a voiceover for a political programme for the pro-independence Scottish National Party. He also plans to attend Tartan Day festivities in New York in April, party leader Alex Salmond said.
