- I've had several people comment that Sean Connery won the Mr. Universe competition. I had to see if this was true.

To be honest his physique was pretty decent for an amateur in the early 50's...
There can't possibly be anyone that doesn't know who Sean Connery is
Idk, there's some young fella watching my vids lol
Scott Siegel me lol
Nick your right, some of these youngsters don't know any actors before the 90's
wayne marshall bruce lee and many others i know the ones who do martial arts
i didnt
Dude was 6'3" and lean, and looked pretty good especially in those kneeling shots. And probably what girls would gravitate towards rather than those mass monsters. Wouldnt mind those stats myself.
hes sean connery they gravitating towards him regardless 😂
Amas Bansal you know his weight
Building your muscles isn't about attracting women, if you do it just for the ladies it is your confidence you need to build not your biceps.
Do you think these mass monsters train to impress girls???
craig cotter, building your body does help build your confidence though. It's not the only thing you should do
...but it helps.
The name is Universe...Mr. Universe.
Good one..!
This was 1953. Only guys who think the current guys are growth and gear free and look great think amateur bodybuilders from that era (including Sean) looked unimpressive.
He had a great physique for back then compared to the average joe walking around at the time...And even by today's standards his physique still holds up, he looks like your typical cover model fitness type of guy.
No cover models fitness types are a lot more dense and defined clearly ..
jumpstart55million I agree, it takes at minimum two years to look the way Connery does in the best photo of him. Nick is being a little mean. Remember, pro bodybuilders at the least take five years if they are lucky to get that jacked.
True. I think he looks good.
Remember the dietry restrictions that existed back then. Meat was still being rationed in the UK until 1954!
He had an impressive physique ... tall with very wide shoulders ... A man's man .
knock knock
who's there?
dishes
dishes who?
dishes sean connery
Andefir LoL
😂
Hands down my favorite James Bond ..imo he played the roll perfectly..
How about a video about Jean-Claude Van Damme? He's nicknamed "Muscles from Brussels", and he once won the Mr Belgium title.
I remember him especially from 1988 Bloodsport, along with Bolo Yeung. Good ol' times. Would be nice to see both these actors on Nicks channel.
Michael Wan I'd love a JCVD one too.
Just did movie w
him.
Michael Wan It wasn't a body building competition though. He became the belgian Shotokan Karate Champ...
Michael Wan i think he did one about him
Zurvan Sorry, you're wrong, as I've mentioned above, he once won the Mr Belgium title, and Mr Belgium was a bodybuilding competition.
The best James Bond hands down.
he looks pretty good for a tall guy. Anybody with size were generally short back then.
Some of those commenting on Connery's supposed lack of size - remember, he has a huge frame and was only 23 - might be forgetting/not have known that, in the UK, food rationing continued well after the end of World War 2, and that meat was rationed until 1954!
Which might have impacted somewhat on the ability of UK-based bodybuilders to put on mass.
Given when he was competing, his age and the size of the frame he had to fill, I think Connery looked pretty good. A pity that he didn't keep it up - he still had a decent frame in the early Bond films, but had lost any definition or muscle development - and in Diamonds are Forever he looked badly out of shape.
Years ago I saw him speaking of this on the Tonight Show. He said that he lost to a guy named Bill Pearl, who made him look like Minnie Pearl.
Lmao, if you don't know who Sean Connery is. I guess I'm kinda showing my age a little bit, but I do think Sean Connery and his name is still somewhat relevant today. I think he's an icon and icons are always relevant.
He didn't win the Mr Universe, he won the 'Mishta Universh'
My names Bond, Natty Bond
"For those of you who don´t know who Sean Connery is"... poor RUclips Generation...
hgwiechie he hasn't been in a film or the spotlight for years. Probably the main way young people will find out about Connery is actually via youtube
Jonbombs nah fam i was born in 2001 and ten years ago i had already seen indiana jones and most of his james bond movies, if you dont know who sean conney is you are simply ignorant
Sean Connery's physique looks 100 times better than the guys he's standing next to in that photo, and certainly much better than the roid monsters that have become the "norm" today. There is such a thing as going too far...
Interesting Fact: Connery had a choice of two rolls back in the 60's. He chose Bond, but the other role they offered him...Tarzan.
1953 my nigga back then they told athletes lifting weights would make you slow!
I'm glad you did the video, as I was one who requested you did this video. However, never said he won.... I knew he placed 3rd. The important thing for me, I think it really shows the type of competitor (pro, amateurs, or junior) from the 1950's compared to today. The guys seems to have a more fitness/swimmer/gymnastic build than they do strongman/bodybuilder. More lean, less bulk, even for the bigger guys it seems. Just an opinion based on the pictures.
There were MANY requests besides yours. But I never did a video because I thought people just didn't know what they were talking about when they kept saying he won.
Nick's Strength and Power I saw the other requests in previous videos, and I should have worded what I said above a little better. Nonetheless, I think it was a cool topic, and thank you for the video. I also meant to say "for the record, I knew he placed third, not first..." what I type in haste while working.... anyways, love the channel, keep it up man. These videos are really interesting.
Yes he was a Royal Navy diver, definitely the jacked swimmer look.
"The important thing for me, I think it really shows the type of competitor (pro, amateurs, or junior) from the 1950's compared to today."
Yea that's because back then Steroids were not involved, go look at a clean drug free contest. For instance, my maximum lean bicep size is estimated at only 18 inches drug free, natural. All those competitors are on the juice, but I'm 48, and I still have my health, I'm still alive, and I'm a Beast.
Thanks for covering this Nick!
Let me see if I got the right. Connery is 86 and a multi millionaire. The other day you had a video of 'real' body builders - all of whom died in their thirties or forties. Sounds like Connery got out just in time.
hey Nick ur recent uploads r very interesting n informative!!!
I read that he placed 3rd in his class. He was a lifeguard at the time and entered on a lark.
Connery was by all accounts an excellent natural athelete and was offered professional rugby and soccer contracts. I'm sure he worked out to stay in optimal physical shape for sports...but being an aspiring actor around 1952 he wouldn't have been working out with mass and size in mind.
That said, his genetics ( height, broad shoulders and slim torso) probably would have made for an excellent body builder.
I absolutely ł love all this quality content you are producing. First thing I do when I get home from work is search for new content on your Channel. Your chat about politics was awesome,. More of the same please. Keep up the good work.
Alex Brookner which video was that
I once had a special edition of Joe Weider's Muscle Builder or Muscle Power magazine that featured every Mr. Universe contest and winner from the very beginning until the early 1960's. So I was very much aware that Sean Connery participated in the 1953 Mr. Universe Contest but was not the winner. That magazine unfortunately is lost to time but I would love to have it back again.
Good job investigating and presenting Nick!
Nicks Strength and Power You make great videos and certainly do your research, keep up the great work, always enjoying the videos from Australia 🇦🇺
Nick, love your videos ! Keep it coming brother.
You should do a video on "old" classic physique vs. the "new" classic physique
Greatest Bond ever. Also who I was named after. Great video as always Nick
Need a video on William ''Falconetti''Smith,incredible physique,phenomenal triceps
He still had a great physique for his age. Lean and mean.
Damn never knew this, good video.
Enjoyed the video. How about a video talking about the evolution of criteria for judges
I had no idea amazing content as usual
More respect for these guys getting these physiques naturally than the guys who use everything today and call it hard work when scientific studies say you can even take steroids and not work out and put on more muscle mass than a natty who does work out. The whole bodybuilding thing would be a lot more interesting if we stopped putting roid/HGH physiques on a pedestal. That way we can really see who put in the hard work when it comes to diet, recovery and training.
How many bodybuilders are visible in this photo 2:05 ? Answer: 007.
Sean Connery had a good body. A 3rd place isnt bad.
He was 5th in the NABBA Mr Universe Amateur Tall class and in the 1959 film "The Frightened City" his character was tough guy who claimed to be "6ft 1ins tall and 13st 8lbs ( he weighed 200lbs in the 1953 Mr Universe).
great pics of Sean in Bill Pearls Keys to the inner universe
One of my fav actors of all time, cool to know where he competed once.
You mean there was a time that actors didn't use steroids but there are so many super ripped natural body's on screen these days ,BS
No steroids in them days
TRUTH-XPOSED steroids were first made in 1939 so there was probably guys on roids at the show but not that many
Awesome! thanks for the video. :)
Nice job with this one, Nick!
I heard this as well...great research man
How about doing one on Carl Weathers? He was proper bodybuilding material!
wow, awesome, learn something new every day.
Cheers!
"He Choose, Wisely" in his career path.
Guy pearse was a bodybuilder in Australia. Have you heard of Rory Leidelmeyer?
Sean Connery...bodybuilding all before the "steroid" era" came into full swing.
Nick, Are you ever gonna do more videos with ur hedgehog?🙄
yes
I think the hedgehog is very interesting and not a mass monster.
Think you're being a little harsh on Connery considering it was early 1950s. You should check other actors, particularly those that starred in peplum and spaghetti western. Google image "Charles Bronson Run of the Arrow" (1957 film) and check the chest, shoulders and veins. Most guys today would want that look.
I'm waiting for your biography on Dennis Tinerino, he had a very colorful life. Pro bodybuilder, Convicted Pimp and Christian Minister.
i wonder what NABBA's "SuperBowl" is? and when? and where do i get to watch the replay or live stream of the pro show.
interested about knowing what alternatives are to IFBB and what their "1 big game shows" are.
bodybuilding Fact: Sean Sonnery played old James Bond in THE ROCK woth nicholas cage
He looked fantastic, for what he was, l'm sure Kenny K.O will set you straight on this 😂😂😂😂
Steve Reeves won Mr Universe in the 50's and non of them guys look anything compared to him.
Hey, could you do a video about Marvin Eder?
Yeaaah, Marvin Eder!!
Mar Rastapopoulos NO but at one time you were. in high school i was a baseball player today i still get in the batting cage and hit baseballs but i dont play in a game i am not a player any more so if BODYBUILDING is a sport you must COMPETE to be a BODYBUILDER.
What do you think of doing a full body workout every other day, I have martial arts in Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, so what if I did a full body workout on Monday Wednesday and Friday?
Sean Connery is the reason for my slicked back hair ... and love of blondes 😩
hey Nick I feel you should do a video about abs
I do have the abs but there's no definition in them I feel you should make a video on that
Looks like he did'nt take steroids looks like he'd never win a bodybuilding competition, but if it was a best looking guy competiton i bet he would piss it !!!
WELL at least he COMPETED! i my opinion if you never COMPETED you are not really a BODYBUILDER you just work out.
Raymond Ervin competing in the man bikini contest is def not a must
interesting opinion...
So if you competed once, you're a bodybuilder for life? Just curious.
I'm more of a Power Lifter myself, not only did I compete once, but I lifted raw against equipped lifters and got second. Had I signed up as lifting raw, I would of won that class that day.
I've weight lifted, powerlifted, and worked out like a body builder off and on since 1984, don't you think that's more validation than a day at a contest?
You know, anyone can enter a contest, but few will place.
Highlander, The Rock....
I didnt even know he competed, now I know thanks!
*_He's the 4th guy from the right too lmao_*
sorry had to throw in a joke :)
You ain't wrong lol
No, he's the 1st guy from the middle. I'm dead serious.
What time is the first match at Wimbledon, Sean?
Ten ish
Is it even possible not to know who Sean Connery is? Like me not knowing John Wayne
You forgot highlander
never clicked a video so fast!!
Wow never knew he competed. Still impressive for him and what's known of him acting wise.
can you make a video about "thierry pastel"
Sean Connery still a legend tho
I read an interview with Connery (Not in muscle magazine) and, while verifying that he did enter the Mr Universe, he credited his build to heavy physical work. In a much earlier interview . . in Iron Man I think . . he was much more forthcoming about his training and of course he did lift weights. Maybe in the later interview he wanted to distance himself from what bodybuilding has become with all the drugs?
How do you make so much content
His greatest performance was in The Rock... what an amazing action film! 👌🏻
Don't forget Highlander
Nick, why don't you do a review for Muscle Man from Regular Show...should be a good one...
"For those of you who don't know who Sean Connery is..." that's where I started choking on my lunch.
the era before steroids!great vid Nick I watch your videos and learn something new every time
how about lord Cresva, he bodybuilder, youtoob celery and ispiration to milliins even though he has add, adhd, ocd, ebola, aids, squint and survived 17 major car assident and 3 aeroplane crash.
it politics
pisstrooper101 he also survived the slight 1 percent of autism
All those Bond movies From Russia With Love, Indiana Jones, The Hunt For Red October, Thunderball, The Untouchables, Goldfinger "of course" & various other James Bond movies. I'm British & a Bond fan & well fuck me, I never realised that Indiana Jones, The Hunt For Red October & The Untouchables were James Bond movies!
& he was far from being skinny!
nick there was a black actor that was in movies that was a big body builder he was in the movie the silent flute and the deep .
I heard he was a very good pozher.
Chris Farley was a 5 time Universe Chapion.
That guy on the far left with Sean being 4th if he was on steroids he would be a MONSTER.
i don't think they were doing steroids as much so winning something like a body building back in the day like that must of been more legit.
Interesting - Never New That
what about Bruce Lee? Could he have been a golden age lighweight bodybuilder mr olympia?
Sir Thomas Sean Connery. Connery was knighted by Elizabeth II at an investiture ceremony at Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh on 5 July 2000. Nice video but, if the reason for this video is educational, you should'nt make the mistake of forgetting the prefix Sir before adressing him.
Good content choice today.
Connery came in "3rd" in the Mr. Scotland contest...he was 'diesel' //natty.
Lou from N.Y.U.
Bond James Bond
Went on to do more important things than impressing other men with his body.
