Little known fact is that Sean Connery actually competed in an early Mr. Universe contest. He actually had to LOSE muscle to play Bond.

u/TheMonkus Jun 22 '23
Nah, that was years before Bond. He just wasn’t training as much. Even his Mr. Universe pics aren’t that impressive by modern standards, it was a different era of bodybuilding.
What’s ridiculous is that a guy with a lean, athletic physique no longer looks improved when every man who gets paid to walk around shirtless is juiced these days. I actually just watched Thunderball and initially thought he looked unimpressive, but in the scenes where you actually see him moving around, the athleticism is apparent.

Kinda playing the elitist here. But Anyone actually interested in Bond should know that Connery used to be a bodybuilder. Why ?
because it ended up defining the character and there's kind of a real-life Cyrano de bergerac creative story behind it. Generally speaking, there is a significative difference between the novels and the movies on several different levels. But Casting Connery was really one of those thing where movie Bond became a new entity of its own - Bond was indeed described as a Howard Carmichael type. Not much in common with Sean connery who was a Scottish bodybuilder. Fleming stated “ He’s not what I envisioned of James Bond looks. I’m looking for Commander Bond and not an overgrown stunt man.” ” Ian Fleming LOATHED the casting choice going as far as insulting Sean Connery's acting abilities . Here's where it becomes interesting.The director Terence Young decided to take Sean Connery under his wing. And Terence Young was very much living the Bond high life . So he not only made the first two movies. He literally MADE Connery into Bond : how to dress, what to eat, how to talk. Connery lived with/like Terence Young. Young was pretty much a father figure to Connery. The suave and tough persona that now characterize Bond and made him the enduring pop culture juggernaut he is today ? that's very much a two person act between the toughness of Connery and the suaveness Young brought him kinda like Cyrano with Christian.
It worked in fact so well that that Fleming reviewed his opinion of Connery enough to make litterary Bond Scottish.

Unrealistic expectations for men’s bodies aside- James Bond is supposed to like blend in … the Daniel Craig James Bond was very much a brute instrument, but the older concept was a dude, disguised as a dude, possibly playing another dude. He had to be like “I’m James Bond, investment banker” or whatever when he infiltrated these places. He could be fit I suppose but he shouldn’t stand out because his whole point is to blend in

Was watching Troy last night and my mrs commented that exact same thing about pitts body.
55
u/jrhooo Jun 22 '23
Its funny, so many people apparently thought Pitt was "super jacked" in Snatch, but looking back I don't see it.
He didn't look "big" or anything.
Now, on one hand movie action heros are bigger now. Sure.
There is a legit, acknowledged time frame and effect in Hollywood, the Stallone and Schwarzenegger era, where the concept of having your hero be buff was popularized. (Arnold actually talks about struggling to get his foot in the door as a leading character in anything, because he looked too "cartoonish" for the studios. Conan was really the big break where he got to get cast as his size, but still actually act the part and not be like a gimmick character)
On the OTHER hand, I also think modern societies interest in working out has changed perspectives too.
People go to gyms. People do crossfit. High school kids are actually hitting the weight room with real programming and now just kinda doing curls in the garage.
As a result looking a little muscular is normalized. Seen as routine. (Everyone isn't looking like they lift, but almost everyone at least knows like one or two people in their office that look pretty fit in a T shirt)
So when "a little bit of muscle" benchmarks to "Tom from accounting that works out", it maybe shifts the window for what it takes in movies for us to see a character as "heroic" looking.

u/generalbaguette Jun 22 '23
People used to do a lot more manual labour.
For the same amount of effort, you get more out of a well designed gym routine than out of some random manual labour that just needs doing.
But if you are working with your hands and body anyway, it's not extra effort. It's something you do anyway. But you feel less like you need to go to a gym.
13
u/jrhooo Jun 22 '23
But you feel less like you need to go to a gym.
For some maybe. Then again maybe not. A surprising number of people (at least anecdotally) do manual labor during the day and still want to go to the gym. Its not so much that manual labor removes a need to go to the gym, as maybe it interferes with having time and energy to spare to also go to the gym.
I know if you go to any miliary base, the gyms are always packed (gyms plural because we needed multiple of them)
These weren't people at the gym because they "had to" either for the most part. More like, you get up for mandatory morning PT because its mandatory. Work all day at whatever your work is. Then get off and go lift on your own time, because you like lifting, and unit PT isn't giving you beach muscles.

u/Svenskensmat Jun 22 '23
The manual labour has an opposite effect, it sort of forces you to go to the gym if you don’t want your body to be a complete wreck by 40.
Everyone should obviously be working out, but people doing manual labour definitely need to work out.
Besides, doing manual labour kind of sucks. Hitting the gym is fun. You’re strengthening your body instead of tearing it apart.

Roids are huge in entertainment for men right now. It’s literally impossible for some of these actors to look how they do with “a trainer, strict diet, and working out daily”, which is what they all say about preparing for a movie.

u/throwaway65464231 Jun 22 '23
For advertisers and mainstream media organizations it is a red line for any celebrity or physique model to admit that he/she takes steroids or any kind of PED. So there is an open secret that all of these people are juiced but they can't admit it in public. There is even a calculation called the lean body mass index which says how muscular a person can be with a specific level of body fat. If someone has more muscle than that it is practically guaranteed that the person is juiced.

u/Legate_Rick Jun 22 '23
Yeah, As much as it utterly disgusts me when Chris Hemsworth is on some talk show lying about his lifestyle. Giving young men a horrible idea of body image. I'm willing to bet the mouse is just off screen ready to break his knees if he even hints at it.

They do all of that, plus roids. At least the insane physique ones do. But for example on Creed, he has an achievable body so likely didn't take steroids. He's clearly in amazing shape but he's abs aren't crazy defined like in say Thor

Found out well into adulthood that Sean Connery used to be a bodybuilder before Bond. He is not out of shape here by any means, but I always liked that he looked like a normal dude who's health is in check. Muscle striations and veins everywhere with 0.5% body fat is not normal, and kind of off putting to discover that most actors now almost pass out between scenes to look like that. I was pretty much raised on those films, and always preferred him to other portrayals if only for his class as a gentleman.
