Did you know that Sean Connery wore a wig as James Bond? It’s not something that is clearly visible in each film, which is kind of the point. It blended in seamlessly with his natural hair. So why then did Sean Connery have to wear a wig as James Bond? To put it simply, he was as bald as a badger.

Most of us probably know someone, or at least have seen someone, with a horrible “rug!” It is usually obvious to everyone but the wearer that it looks really bad! James Bond was such a suave and well-groomed ladies’ man that I don’t think anyone (especially the ladies) would have minded even if it was noticeable.

Sean Connery started going bald at a very young age. Historically, as young men go, they are usually only worried about one thing… sex! Connery’s bald head, although, was his biggest concern. Unfortunately, his baldness was genetic and there was no escaping it. Connery suffered an early onset of baldness; much younger than most. Fortunately, he didn’t let it hold him back from pursuing his epic acting career. Sean Connery’s attitude was, “have hairpiece, will act!”
