>Ian Fleming famously dismissed Sean Connery as an "overgrown stuntman" and an "unrefined" roughneck, initially rejecting him for being far too muscular, rugged, and working-class to portray the suave, aristocratic, and slim British spy he had envisioned.Was this physique really considered overly muscular back in the day?He was like 32 to 35 years old in this iirc btw
>>77338659if you have his height, natural width and especially face you can do whatever you wantConnery in the first two bond movies was a gigachad
>>77338659mirin’
>>77338661He’s not even attractive
Connery was some kind of Mr somewhere not very important bodybuilder in the 50s. I've always wanted to seem him in an early role, the now presumably totally lost destroyed unironically taped over BBC version of Requiem For A Heavyweight. I can't imagine it would be anywhere near as good as Jack Palance but it would be interesting.
Natty 6'0+ lanklets usually have comically small arms
>>77338659Pretty much nobody lifted weights back then. If you looked substantial and not like a fat ass or a twink you'd be considered brawny, not necessary ripped just substantial. But the point of the quote is he was looking for a twink and not for a rough looking guy.
>>77338682no one cares about your muscles if your face is so dimorphicwide mouth, wide jaw and chin, lean, hooded wide eyes and big eyebrows, add the good tan>>77338672holy cope
>>77338661>Connery in the first two bond movies was a gigachadfpbp>>77338659>Was this physique really considered overly muscular back in the day?not reallyjust "too muscular" for the role, not in generalit literally say the reason in your cited quote>rugged, and working-classnot that his build wasn't decent or anythingbut it was more like an above average farmer / construction / factory worker bodyin the early 60s you already had body builders like Dave Draper or Larry Scott for actual muscular bodies
>>77338659My feeling is that somewhere during the late edwardian period onwards British sports and fitness culture took a nosedive. Before that we had scouts, catch wrestling, boxing, horseriding, farm diets, after it we had smoking, slums, tinned meals, vegetable oil, sputtering automobiles, asbestos.
>>77338672>He’s not even attractivetop KEKcompletely delusionalat his peak, he was considered one of the most attractive men alive and had countless fan girls gushing over himeven todayask any (straight) women after watching Dr. No if they find Sean Connery attractive and the most likely answer is yes
>>77338659The original gigachad
>>77338677Goes well with their proportionately tiny dicks
>>77338659Holy fuck i mog him hard
>>77338659>and working-classIt's just word salad to dress his actual problem with Sean Connery, which was class bias. Nobody thinks Sean Connery was too muscular, he was just too working class and didn't match Ian Fleming's gay fantasy of a posh boy spy. Saying he's too muscular, is just politeness while he actually means he doesn't consider Sean Connery the same species as James Bond. Britoids are always like this. Sean Connery back then as James Bond is like Aragorn being played by a black actor today. That's how much they care about class.
>>77338727You do not mog Sean Connery
>>77338759I do and Im only 1cm shorter than him
>>77338677Only when they don't drink enough cow urine
>>77338727Why do you keep posting this pic lmaoooo
>>77338722Statistically, penis size is directly correlated to height.
>>77338751>Brits>Spend centuries obsessing over what wealth strata someone is despite them being of your own people>jews take over your banks and government>nogs and jeets overrun the island in 20 years>"no tolerance for intolerance"
>>77338751This.
>>77338659He did ultimately like the performance and made book Bond more like Connery, though. However, he originally wanted David Niven to play Bond.
>>77338659He looks like a skinnyfat twink lmao I'd make him hold my pocket.
>>77338879-t. Vulgar Masculine
Ian Fleming was literally a payroll MI6 spook and he was agitated that his handlers went in a different creative direction for the psyop he worked so hard on.
>>77338751>Nobody thinks Sean Connery was too muscular, he was just too working class and didn't match Ian Fleming's gay fantasy of a posh boy spy>he doesn't consider Sean Connery the same species as James Bondit's the same thingbarely any working class went to a prestigious boarding schooland certainly no one there lifted or had any interesting in being jacked (in the 40s/50s), that was working class behaviorhe wanted Bond to be a typical Eton boySean Connery genuinely didn't match the original description of>slim build>183cm>76kgbut Connery was still chosen for his sex appealafter the first Bond movie, all the doubts vanished anywayFleming even adjust Bonds heritage to be Scottish to match Sean Connery and was very happy with how the movies turned out in the end>James Bond is like Aragorn being played by a black actorKEK
>>77338659He was in decent shape for the time.
>>77338907our standards used to be so low kek
>>77338973Sean had a killer bod in any epoch. We didn't used to have our minds twisted with unrealistic bodies in 30 second bites, we used to have realistic ideas of self body image.
>>77338907He didn't look like that as Bond, though he was tall and had a good frame.
>>77338659people must have been fat with no muscle if they thought that was too muscular
Connery always looked like an old sleaze bag.
>>77338989> t. 23%bf
>>77338677>6'0+>lanklet
Can you imagine being gangbanged by Sean Connery, Jack Nicholson, and Nicolas Cage?
>>77338907he's in fantastic shape for any time, cmon man
>>77338682In current year, the perception of what a muscular guy looks like is swayed by roidtrannies. Really it’s been that way for 40 years, with action movie stars and pro-wrestlers all roidmaxing to an absurd degree.During Connery’s hay day, it was the opposite. Not only were steroids basically unheard of, but barely anyone even worked out. And forget about diet; this was right around the time that the sugar industry literally bribed researchers to falsify findings (which led to the low-fat, high-carb diet that lasted about three decades). So no one had a preconceived notion of what a fit person actually looked like, because there’s a high chance they’d never actually seen one.
>>77338659>Be me>Just do pushups, pull ups, dips and some dumbbell shoulder work>A whole bunch of girls are surprised when they see me in just a tee shirtWtf, I personally don't really see it but I've been getting a bunch of compliments about being muscular or dense
>>77338659Anyone that's over 6' tall and has any noticeable muscle on their frame is usually considered "big". We are too used to seeing 5'5" SARM goblins on social media that know how to fraud with camera angles.
>>773393566'0+ and up and you start getting goofy proportions and nogains (as a natty).There's a reason why 180cm/5'11 is the ideal male height.
>>77338727LMAO gymcel cope
>>77338659>Mfw fat Sean
>>77340123This. Fucking tallcelz always look like shit. Goody proportions and head shape and size and narrow shoulders and long arms and legs and torso and no thickness. lmao. You can literally go into public and see what they all look like. Very unaesthetic. Yet online, its muh 6 feet. lmao.
>>77340165>>77340123>goody**goofy**
>>77340123short niggas mog in photos, lanklets mog irl. simple as
>>77338659Did we really need another thread on how standards have changed from the past?
>>77339347>t. roidtrannyPlease post the post-OP transition pics when you get there.
I'll take Jap Anus Relations for $600, Alex.
>>77338677kill yousrself faggot
>>77340190fat ass cope
>>77340240Stay mad, DYEL
>>77338659Ian was a lanky weak twink faggot who was intimidated by a real man
>>77338879Kys roid tranny maggot
>>77338751Do Bongs still think like this? It sounds ridiculous. Like they're India or some third world voodoo country
>>77340485Yeah some do. It’s mostly the aspirational people who didn’t go to elite public schools. However, there’s a lot of inverse snobbery too. People would be more likely made fun of at uni for going to private school than for going to a local state school
>>77338659Ian Fleming sounds like a faggot. That’s just my honest opinion don’t take it personally I don’t know who any of these people are.
>>77340485cope prolePeople aren't born equal in any country
Fleming patterned Bond’s physical description after Hoagy Carmichael.
>>77338661No one asked about his face or height you faggot.
>>77340123Proportions don't get fucky before you breach 210cm
>>77339387>In current year, the perception of what a muscular guy looks like is swayed by roidtrannies.Since Arnold, yes.
>>77338879Nice roid acne
>>77338659Pic of Bigfoot unrelated?
>>77338879I think you look very hot and would let you do just about anything to meBut full disclosure, I am gay
>>77338659Normgroid brains can't differentiate between someone who's muscular and someone who has a wide frame.
>>77341924https://thebarbell.com/sean-connery-mr-universe/he literally was a mr. universe-competing bodybuilder kek (granted he was much more built then than in OP's pic)
>>77338672Not that a feminized zoomer like you would understand this, but he looks like a man, a real man, and women like those, women get sopping wet for real men.
>>77338973>looking good is bad>looking like a sideshow freak is good Yikes
>>77341894I'd fuck that big guy if he was a bottom. But yeah algorithms and heroes did "fuck" the minds of many people. Bronze and silver age bodybuilders look good enough . Barely any roids at the time.
