Classic Retro Dads - Where are They Now?
As you maaaay or may not (perhaps!) or spotted, Father's Day 2017 edition is fast approaching and things here at Truffle Towers are starting to get pretty dad-tastic!
With loads of us franticly searching the shops and the cyberweb for the newest, coolest and most perfectest Father's Day Gifts in all the land to really spoil our old man this year, it's safe to say we've had the dad word spinning in our brains. Inspired by all the dad talk and goings on, we thought we would take some time to look back at some of our favourite dads (we've said dad to much already huh) from the big and small screens, see what they've been up to and perhaps find out where they are now.
Let's jump in!
Henry Jones Sr. (Sean Connery) - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Professor of medieval literature, expert on Grail lore, the father of archaeologist Indiana Jones, we're pretty sure most people will know and love Jones Sr. Somewhat of a .....difficult so and so, it's hard to imagine anyone other than professional Scotsman Sean Connery donning his trusty hat and snatching his faithful umbrella. Now, we're not saying him and Indie had the best father and son relationship to start with, but it's safe to say their adventures together sure bring them closer and all with a touch of whit and good old fashioned competition.
So, what's he be up to? Turns out.... A LOT! Starring in such films as (deep breath); The Hunt for Red October, Just Cause, The Rock, Entrapment, and Finding Forrester. Not bed eh! It's safe to say Sean has had a very fruitful career and is certainly more than a household name. Retired from the big screen, he is currently living in Kranidi, Greece where he can spend time with family and friends including fellow movie star Michael Caine.
Time To LWYRUP With Better Call Saul Season 2 Next Week!
Sweet Jimmy McGill! Season two is sooo nearly here! As mad as it may seem, we're just days away from an all new season of the Breaking Bad spin-off that is Better Call Saul.
Filling that Albuquerque shaped hole that Breaking Bad left us with, Better Call Saul was the fix we all needed and welcomed Slippinâ Jimmy....sorry Saul Goodman back into our lives and gave us and all new insight into the life of this pivotal character before Walter White ever even thought about a life of crime.
Last season saw us follow Saul and his ongoing struggle to go it straight. Fighting for a single case to sink his teeth into, Saul began to make some enemies and allies while watching his brother Chucks back who believes he suffers from electromagnetic hypersensitivity. Desperate for any case, Saul shows his determination to win at all costs, even if it means getting his hands dirty.
With another 13 episodes to enter our lives through season 2, there is plenty more to come from Saul which might even reveal more about Breaking Bad.
Hitting our screens here in the UK on February 16th on AMC, now is the perfect time to start spreading the love and preparing for this wild ride! Check out our range of official Better Call Saul TShirts which are available from only £9.99!
