SEAN CONNERY
- Sean was born as Thomas Sean Connery in Fountainbridge Scotland on August 25, 1930.
- His parents were honest, hardworking people, but were also very poor. At an early age, Sean displayed keen athletic abilities, and even had professional soccer potential.
- joined the Royal Navy, but he was so much of a bad ass that he left because he couldn’t deal with people giving SHIT
- he attempted to drown his man anger in weight lifting, and was Scotland’s represenative to the 1953 Mr. Universe contest, finishing third. yea. thats right i said MR UNIVERSE
- after getting the role as James Bond, he was sick of everyone referring to him as Bond. So this bad ass left the best job in the world to start other, and better, projects.
- after he left the role of James Bond, after YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE the role was filled by newcomer George Lazenby, an Australian model. However, ON HER MAJESTY’S SECRET SERVICE, Lazenby’s only film as Bond, was a financial failure by Bondian standards, and producers Broccoli and Saltzman were determined to get Sean back at all costs. This led to DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER, Sean’s weakest performance as Sir James, though one of the most lucrative contracts in film history.
- HE MET HIS WIFE WHILE PLAYING GOLF. = UBER SUBMISSION
Speaking of Bond/Sean Connery, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is actually a truly excellent film, and you need to watch the opening for a wonderful little meta moment/instance of breaking the fourth wall specifically concerning Sir Sean.
