star Hugh Jackman said that he is interested in playing the iconic British spy, James Bond, reported
E! Online.
The 46-year-old actor also clarified that he has not been approached for the role, but he is open to play Agent 007. "I'd certainly give it a thought. I don't think there's an actor on the planet who wouldn't at least say, 'Oh, let me have a think about that.'"

X-Men 2 and I was like 'I don't think it's the right time'. But it was not an easy one for me to give up," he added.
