Unending Action: Remembering Sean Connery, the first-ever James Bond

The James Bond universe is still one of the most loved among movie lovers. The action and the style of the film cannot match any other. Well, this whole universe of unending action was debuted by the eminent actor Sean Connery over 60 years ago. Despite decades passing, Sean바카라�s 바카라�Dr No바카라�, the first James Bond movie is still the best-loved and long-lasting film franchise of all time.

Born in Edinburg, Scotland, Sean Connery began his journey in bodybuilding and modeling and even competed in the Mr. Universe contest in 1953. Then, film offers began coming his way and in the early 1960s, he landed the role of James Bond, Agent 007 of the British Secret Intelligence Services in the film 바카라�Dr No바카라�, surpassing the list of potential actors to star as the leading man.
As the offer landed on his plate, Connery demanded the makers to include some more humor into the story, calling it 바카라�essential바카라� for the script. And when the 바카라�Rising Sun바카라� actor was asked to give a test for the role, he refused, in style!

바카라�Sorry, but I바카라�m not making tests. I바카라�m well past that. Take it or leave it, but no test,바카라� Connery had said and the makers agreed to his terms finally.
To call this role a turning point in his career can be an understatement. The film, which was based on Ian Fleming바카라�s bestselling novel, became a blockbuster hit paving the way for it to become the most loved franchise even after several decades passed. The film made $59.5 million against a $1 million budget.

Sean then starred in five 007 movies before George Lazenby took over with 1969바카라�s On Her Majesty바카라�s Secret Service.
However, George Lazenby left the franchise after just one movie after which Sean Connery was convinced to return to playing James Bond Connery in 1971바카라�s 바카라�Diamonds Are Forever바카라� for a then-record $1.25 million salary plus two future movies of his choice. Soon after, Connery became James Bond one more time in the 1983바카라�s unofficial Thunderball remake 바카라�Never Say Never Again바카라�.

Once Sean retired from the role, Daniel Craig joined the club and continued the proud James Bond franchise. However, movie lovers still cannot get over the charms of Sean Connery and never will.
