Sean Connery , 1950 3rd Place Mr Universe

[Beener]

Et voila. All drugs.

[timfogarty]

No.  He did not come in third place in the 1950 NABBA Universe.  He entered the 1953 NABBA Universe, but did not place.  He did place in the regional NABBA Mr Scotland.  That's probably where the third place comes from, but records are hard to come by.

Yeah you're prolly right i just saw it on the tv so thats what i wrote.

He prefered his shakes shaken and not stirred.

ohhh posshhi

[timfogarty]

if you shake a martini in ice instead of stir it, you get a watered down martini

[Camel Jockey]

ohhh posshhi

Bet you he put vodka in his shakes and garnished with an olive or something.

timfogarty, they're stiff either way. I'd rather have a long island iced tea with diet cola and get smashed after 3 or 4.

This just in  !!! Man Lands On The Moon   

[Camel Jockey]

Ohhh oHHH POSSHHHI

I'd wreck that Aston Martin after a few drinks.

Watch out, 240 or bust might hear you and start goin off on one of his damn conspiracy essays.

[m8]

Definitely a good career move 

[gordiano]

I wonder if Sean ever did G4P? 

[LatsMcGee]

I wonder if Sean ever did G4P? 

He did "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen."  That's almost as bad.

[huge97]

WHAT A HUGE MO-FO

[_bruce_]

One of my fav. films

An interesting side note to this is the 1959 Universe.

Weider had trained and brought Reg Park to the show to have him compete.

But, Park pulled a fast one on Joe...he said...if I compete...YOU are going to compete , too.

Joe, of course, was livid. After refusing porusely, he realized how much advertising and promotions he'd lose if he didn't please Park

So joe competed, barely tarined, in Reg's tall class.

Reg won, jop actually took 5th amongst twelve other me.

The guy with him in the second pic is Stan Howlet who got him in to the movies

Ohhh oHHH POSSHHHI

Honor Blackman?

Sidenote:I was in one of the Hamptons (West?) a few years ago and came across that same Goldfinger Aston Martin outside the ice cream shop. That is one fine car. I remember thinking it must cost a fortune to keep it up and running in the condition it was. Primo. 

[The Next BIG Thing!]

Yeah, 1953 is right. He'd done a little posing for life-drawing classes in Edinburgh, and his head musta swelled.

Clearly he knew shit about gear, and musta truly shit his trunks when he got to London and found some bodybuilders! LOL! Even in 1953, he was crap.

I'm a tad biased though. All Scots celebrities are flag-waving drone girls as far as I can see, but Tom Connery is my least-fave. Hate everything about him, from his fake-ass speech defect characteristic, to his involvement in Scots politics, despite living in the Ba-fuckin'-hamas for thirty years or more 

Scotland sucks ass, don't ever come here. Kenny 'Firestar' Richey's only coming back 'cos no #### in the States will give him houseroom, I'll bet.

I'm misanthropic at the best of times, but I reserve my bitterest bile for my cuntrymen and women.

Thank Christ there are only six million of 'em.

Anyone out there wanna gimme a job, help me get a visa? I'll suck your dick! 

Preferences are NYC or Los Angeles. Fuck SF, too many hills for a dude with no car.

that's certainly an interesting take on it.  others have described it as Weider bribing his way into the contest and 5th place.   He didn't even compete in posing trunks, but in his street trousers.

[Moosejay]

Yes, Tim, I heard about that, too. In his trousers! I think I may have seen a photo proving that, but can't recall exactly.

Is it true that Joe Weider's arms-folded product motif features not Weider's upper body but Robby Robinson's?

Robby Robinson modeled for the statue.  The folded arms drawing is from 1947, long before he met Robby Robinson.   (RR was born in 1946)  but it is a drawing and doesn't really match any of the photos of the time.

James Bond has to stay alert, doesn't he?  A diluted shaken martini seems like a good idea for a spy on duty.
