A CHINESE company has hijacked the image of Sir Sean Connery to sell sex drugs.
Sir Sean unwittingly stars in an advert for Viagra-style drug "USA Selikon" which has been broadcast on TV stations all over China.

Advertising executives have dubbed Chinese over old interview footage and film clips of the actor, making him appear to say that the drug has worked wonders for him and his wife "Barbara".

He says: "I turned 70 this year. But with the help of USA Selikon capsules, I was praised by Barbara that I'm still James Bond, forever 25. I have told all my aged friends, 'You should try USA Selikon capsules'."

Sir Sean, actually 78 and married to Michelin Roquebrune, is a popular figure in the Far East and has been a familiar face in Japanese adverts for decades.

AC Milan star David Beckham also unwittingly features in the campaign.

Can anyone recall this newspaper ever writing a story about Sean that doesn't attempt a really feeble Bond-pun in the headline?
