However, it wasn't until recently that I found out he was a bodybuilder.  But Connery wasn't just any bodybuilder since he won championships including the Mr. Edinburgh crown in the 1950's.  <\/p>\n<p>What else I didn't know about Connery is that he was quite the badass too as alluded to in an interview with Michael Caine.  Caine was telling stories about how he and Connery hung out in London during the 1950's, and they used to chase women around.  In fact, Connery was an old-time playboy who used to have liquor parties filled with women.<\/p>\n<p>One night Connery and Caine went out to a nightclub and some girls were on stage trying to sing.  Four guys in the crowd kept being rude to the girls so Connery asked Caine to hold his jacket, and went back to beat the crap out of all four guys.  And while it seems far-fetched, this is back when Connery was in the prime of his bodybuilding days so it's possible.  Plus I don't see Michael Caine trying to lie since he doesn't sound too cool in the situation sitting there holding a jacket.<\/p>\n<p> Anyways, you can check the interview out for yourself right here: \/\/www.dailystar.co.uk\/news\/view\/158913\/Michael-Caine-s-hooked-on-007\/<\/p>\n<div style='text-align:left' class='yasr-auto-insert-visitor'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having seen most of the James Bond films, I&#8217;ve known Sean Connery for years.
