Sean Connery is the quintessential James Bond, and he’s also a household name in Hollywood. But what did he do before he joined Her Majesty’s Cinematic Secret Service?
During the filming of the shark tank scene in “Thunderball”, Connery was attacked by one of the marine predators. Luckily, he escaped with no more than a few torn out hairs – which aren’t real, anyway. Connery started going bald at the age of 21 and wore a wig whenever he donned the famous spy’s tuxedo. In his private life, as well as in other roles, he would gladly let the sun shine on his cranium.
