Sean Connery, the legendary Scottish actor known for playing James Bond, has died. He was 90.
Connery leaves behind a rich filmography, which includes seven James Bond films, “The Untouchables,” “The Rock” and “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade,” among many others.
While Connery will be remembered as an actor, things almost didn’t end up that way. Before his big break, Connery nearly signed with Manchester United, according to the Indian Express. No, seriously.
Connery, who played for a Scottish football club in the 1950s, reportedly received an offer of £25 (or a little over $32) a week from then-Manchester United manager Matt Busby.
