LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Australian actor Hugh Jackman took the world by storm when he was cast as the legendary comic-book character Wolverine in the ‘X-Men’ franchise. The role made him earn worldwide recognition and he quickly became one of the hottest properties in Hollywood. However, the best part of his career is that he never put himself inside a bracket in his professional or did only one kind of role. However, there’s one role that he was offered in the initial part of his career that could have made him join an elite list of actors. Yes, we are talking about James Bond and if whatever Jackman said is true, we actually lost a chance to see the actor running across the globe to fight the bad guys in the most stylish ways possible.

James Bond is one of the most iconic characters in the history of cinema and has only been played by seven actors over the span of five decades. The last actor to play the fictional MI6 agent was Daniel Craig who ended his run as the iconic detective with last year’s blockbuster hit ‘No Time To Die’. But seems, we could have seen Jackman portraying the legendary character if he would have said yes to the offer, but it seems that he was not interested in the play Bond at the time.
