Los Angeles - Legendary Scottish actor Sean Connery sued a California golf club on Monday for breach of contract, saying its managers cheated him out of more than $500 000 - about R3 125 000.
The former James Bond star joined the Sherwood Country Club of Thousand Oaks, a Los Angeles suburb, in 1990.
According to the lawsuit, Connery, 75, considered the $35 000 a year he was paying in dues an investment, and that he could recover 80% of it after three years, while the club's owners capitalised on his fame to attract new investors.
But the club refused to repay Connery when he cancelled his membership in 2004, according to the suit filed by his lawyers in a Los Angeles court on Monday.
Connery is asking for more than $500 000, not including interest, in his lawsuit against the company managing the golf club.
