Many James Bond fans would never forget in a hurry its first and hugely successful star, Sean Connery. Dashing good looks, charm and charisma, he was a perfect lady killer in his time, and probably the perfect Bond.

But did you also know the Scottish born star was a bodybuilder in his pre-bond years? Yes, he took up the hobby at the age of 18, and by the age of 23, competed in the 1953 Mr. Universe Amateur contest, where he placed third.
