Actor Hugh Jackman recently sat down with Variety to discuss his latest film "The Greatest Showman," a musical about P.T. Barnum, the founder of what would become the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. But perhaps the most shocking part of the interview had nothing to do with his new movie ... rather about a movie he never ended up starring in. Jackman revealed that, prior to filming X-Men 2, he received a call asking if he'd like to play James Bond. He admitted that he ended up turning it down for a few reasons, one of them being he thought the character needed to become grittier and real - but he was told he wouldn't have a say in that development.
