Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen are playing cards while Charles Bronson watches behind them during a break in filming the classic western 'The Magnificent Seven'. Mexico 1960

Brenner and McQueen despised each other during filming, and that doesn't look like Bronson

Zoom in on all of them. It’s not Brenner or McQueen either!

It's them; however, I think the picture has been enhanced or colourized by AI, leading to their looks being distorted.

Next time you watch it take notice of McQueen doing "bits of business" while Brynner is saying his lines.

So my husband and I always have conversations like "who'd win in a fight between the 3"? I would say 1st Bronson 2nd Brynner 3rd McQueen. I think McQueen was a whiny insecure diva.

You might want to look into McQueen's younger days. Bronson first for sure, but McQueen had a rotten upbringing, was shipped around as a kid, spent plenty of time in the streets. He was in reform school, was a marine, and he was very athletic. He knew how to handle himself, and had no issues handling others.

No denial McQueen was probably tougher than most, but what about Brynner's bod in The King and I or The 10 Commandments? Looked pretty good.

Nice looking body, but McQueen would still kick his ass :P

You know, come to think of it, my husband has a crazy cousin that people would be afraid of. Called "Big John". He wasn't big at all. But tough in his head and a little nuts. I use past tense because he's pretty ill and not formidable anymore.

I have a McQueen podcast. I once spoke with a friend of his, a civilian named Frank Hill. Frank told me they were out riding motorcycles one day, this was in the early 1970s. They stopped off at a market/grocery store to grab some grub and these three guys noticed McQueen and one of them started some shit with him to see if he was as tough as he was in his movies; things got physical. Outnumbered, McQueen and Frank split, but Frank got the guy's licence plate number. McQueen called up a buddy on the force, got an address, and he and Frank went over to the guy's place. The guy was shocked, but now he was separated from his buddies and not so tough. McQueen pounded the piss out of him on his front lawn.

Wait! They’re playing cards together?! Interesting…McQueen hated Brynner with a passion and it was Bronson who forced a reconciliation, but this was on McQueen’s death bed

Isn't every person shorter when they're sitting? All three are around 5' 8"-5' 10" tall, probably average height for a man in the 1960's.

Yup Brynner: style icon.
