    Controversial opinion: in DAF Sean Connery is the worst looking Bond.

    I agree. At least, either Sean in DAF or Roger in LALD. Some odd clothing choices there. But I wasn't around in those days so the fashion may simply not speak to me.

    That's a fun one to think about. I'm always a bit loathe to write off some of the fashions across the series as fashion just dates and I don't think there's anything wrong with that, but yeah; his untrimmed brows and slightly creepy sideburns don't help, plus some of the dodgier outfits and general out-of-shape quality all add up. George might be kind of close for me, there's something I don't really like about his hair and a few of his looks, but he is trim and fit-looking. Tim has some dodgy looks in LTK, with the baggy 80s jackets and vampire hair; and I actually think Daniel doesn't look great in QOS, with bad hair, weirdly tiny sunglasses etc. Pierce is also clearly great-looking, but a bit bouffant and thin in GE, and that Alan Partridge blazer look... yikes. But yes, I think you're right: it probably is DAF Sean.

    Better a short pink tie than an overlong red one, meant to emphasize your private parts.

    I think Connery looks very dark in DAF, like a shark, despite the tone of the film.

    Really? I think he looks his best in QOS. They cut his hair too short in SF. Plus, the undersized suits.

    I mean, Brosnan wasn't the first Bond to wear a double-breasted blazer.

    Pink isn't a manly color.

    Yes I agree that Connery in DAF is probably the Bond the least pleasant on the eyes across the series.

    Moore never really looked unattractive; in View he looked more out of place than unattractive. Dalton, even with dodgy hair, was believably attractive enough in LTK for me. Brosnan was pretty consistent throughout: in GE sometimes he's maybe not attractive in a Bond way; in TWINE his hair maybe isn't at its best but he always looked good. Craig for me looks at his worst in Skyfall: the short hair kind of made his more brutish features pop.

    With only maybe Moore and Connery at their worst do I wonder how a Bond girls fall for them. In the case of Connery it's quite ironic because that's the only Bond film where the Bond actor actually was in a relationship (allegedly) with the Bond girl actress (and apparently the other one as well!)

    Even more controversial: I think Connery looks great in DAF. I prefer his look here than in YOLT. 007 lost his wife in the previous film and the two years of grieving (off screen) aged him . We pick up as he's ready to get back to business and move on. I think Connery's great in the film. In looks and his performance.
