Sir Sean Connery


Before his acting career took off, Sir Sean Connery took a turn at bodybuilding.
He placed third in the junior division of the 1953 Mr. Universe competition.
Below we see Sir Sean in his kilt with racecar driver Sir Jackie Stewart.

    1. Wish I knew, James. I did a few searches and came up empty.

  4. Connery was a milkman at the time he competed for Mr Universe held at the Royal Hotel of London in 1953.
    Hewlitt was a professional wrestler.
    After the competition one of the other bodybuilders mentioned there were auditions for a stage production of South Pacific, and thus began the acting career of Sean Connery.
    Leave it to a Scot to get the coveted role of James Bond. We all expected a proper English gentleman.:)
    The Best of Bond.
