Sir Thomas Sean Connery (born on August 25, 1930) is a Scottish actor and producer, Academy Award, Golden Globe and BAFTA Award winner.
He is famous for his James Bond character, starring in seven Bond films between 1962 and 1983. Connery won the Academy Award in 1988 for Best Supporting Actor for his role in The Untouchables.
Connery was considered the “greatest living Scot” and was knighted in July 2000. In 1989, People magazine named him the Sexiest Man Alive, while in 1999, at the age of 69, was voted as the Sexiest Man of the Century.
Connery was born in Fountainbridge, Edinburgh, and he first worked as a milkman in Edinburgh at St. Cuthbert’s Co-operative Society. Later on he joined the Royal Navy where he got two tattoos; one of them is a tribute to his parents “Mum and Dad” while the other reads “Scotland Forever”. Following his discharge from the navy on medical grounds, he returned to the co-op working as a lorry driver, a labourer, an artist model for the Edinburgh College of Art, and as a coffin polisher.
Helping out backstage at the King’s Theatre around Christmas of 1951, Connery became interested in the procedures and thus his career was launched.
