Between 1962 and 1983 Sean Connery starred in seven James Bond films. During that time, in addition to the love scenes he shared with some of the world's most beautiful women, Connery got a lot of on-set massages. Four of his seven Bond movies prominently feature languid rubdowns. So, in anticipation of this weekend's Spectre release we're taking a closer look at the four times Connery's 007 relaxed beneath the skilled hands of some pretty foxy Bond girls.
In You Only Live Twice Bond rests up for the night at the house of a villain posing as his ally. He is treated to erotic spa treatments and massages. His final massage is taken over by the Bond girl Aki who has fallen in love with him despite her own best efforts.
In Goldfinger Bond gets a poolside massage from actress Shirley Eaton before dismissing her with a flirtatious spank citing "man talk" (It goes without saying that times have changed, and a modern day James Bond wouldn't get away with that shit).
In Thunderball Bond's massage was famously applied with a black mink glove.
In Never Say Never Again James Bond goes undercover as a masseuse and gives a young Kim Basinger a memorable massage.
