25. SEAN CONNERY
in Never Say Never Again (1983)
After 1971's Diamonds Are Forever, Connery said ''never again'' and traded his Walther PPK for more lucrative non-Bond paydays. It rarely worked (see: Zardoz). Twelve years later, we saw a man publicly eating crow. And it wasn't pretty. The then-53-year-old Scot's physique was saggy, his thinning hair resembled the last sad wisps of cotton candy, and his macking on a young Kim Basinger was just plain creepy. And then, freakin' Octopussy made more money.
