Hugh Jackman for 'James Bond'? We wouldn't mind!

He has been immortalised onscreen as Wolverine, but there was a time Hugh Jackman was approached to play the iconic role of James Bond, which he turned down as he found the script of a potential film to be quite straitjacket.

Hugh Jackman in a recent interview said that he was in fact considered for the role after Pierce Brosnan's tenure, but he felt that the scripts were highly improbable.

Hugh Jackman has revealed he could have been James Bond.

"I was about to do "X-Men 2" and a call came from my agent asking if I'd be interested in Bond", he said. However, the actor felt the franchise wasn't gritty enough at the time and made a decision to opt out of portraying James Bond. "You just have to sign on.' I was also anxious that between Bond and 'X-Men, ' I'd never have time to do different things".

The role instead went to Daniel Craig and the rest, as they say, is history.

"I always tried to do different things". "I was also anxious that between Bond and X-Men, I'd never have time to do different things". People wanted me to play that kind of hero part exclusively.

Joining Jamie and Emma, Hugh chatted about how he owed the public a feel good movie with his latest role as P.T Barnum in "The Greatest Showman", going on to say "after putting out Logan, I had to do something that leaves a semblance of a smile on your face".

It's true, some of the plot lines for the Bond films are a tad outrageous - for example, 007 was shot off a moving train and fell hundreds of feet from a bridge (and lived!), only to return to the job in Skyfall.
