Hugh Jackman almost played the infamous Agent 007.
The star was offered the role of James Bond as the successor of Pierce Brosnan.
However, he turned down the opportunity for a few different reasons.
I was about to do X-Men 2 and a call came from my agent asking if I?d be interested in Bond,? said Jackman in an interview with Variety. ?I just felt at the time that the scripts had become so unbelievable and crazy, and I felt like they needed to become grittier and real. And the response was: ?Oh, you don?t get a say. You just have to sign on.?
