Indiana Jones And The Deadbeat dad

Shir Shean Connery has officially passed on returning to play Professor Henry Jones in Indiana Jones IV, or whatever it ends up being called, which means that Harrison Ford’s whip-cracking archaeological adventurer will be father-free for this latest outing.

Despite being offered the role again (and no doubt a hefty pay day), Connery has decide to stay retired, play lots of golf and enjoy supporting Scotland as a tax exile elsewhere. He blabbed word of his decision on Lucasfilm’s official Indy site: "I get asked the question so often, I thought it best to make an announcement. I thought long and hard about it, and if anything could have pulled me out of retirement it would have been an Indiana Jones film. But being retired is just too much fun!”
