Well, well, well, if it isn't James Bond! Or one of the many versions of him, at least. After watching him on the big screen as sophisticated spy, Agent 007, it's not hard to imagine Sean Connery knowing his way around a gun in real life. After working as a milkman in his youth, Connery became a member of the British Royal Navy. It was during this time that he acquired his two tattoos: one honoring his parents, the other honoring his home country, Scotland.
Connery was discharged from the Navy on medical grounds. As it turned out, he was suffering from a hereditary illness, a duodenal ulcer, which affected most of the men in his family. After being discharged, Connery worked a series of odd jobs, including lorry driver, laborer, lifeguard, and artist's model.
