Hugh Jackman Says He’d Consider Taking on James Bond Role

Hugh Jackman was on the Australian television show, The Project, and was asked about taking on the role of James Bond. When asked if he’d consider playing the part if offered, Jackman said, “I sort of have. Not now. But about 10 years ago. Or eight years ago, before Daniel [Craig] took over. At the time I was just about to do X-Men 2 and I was like, ‘Ah, I don’t think it’s the right time.’ And all that, but it was not an easy one for me to give up.” But now? He told the crowd, “I’d seriously consider it.”
