Sean Connery reportedly tried to warn his friend, the writer Edna O'Brien, off experimenting with LSD – by telling her of his own experience with the drug.
The James Bond star is said to have told O'Brien of his negative LSD experience with RD Laing, the Glasgow-born psychiatrist.
In her new memoir, Country Girl, O'Brien describes a conversation with Connery on the eve of her meeting with Laing, at which she herself planned to take the drug.
