Sam Heughan spoke about that “Bond 21” audition in a new chat with Esquire U.K.
The actor went out for the “Casino Royale” flick before Daniel Craig was ultimately picked for the 2006 role.
Heughan shared of the audition, “I was called in when they were doing ‘Bond 21’, so before they had Daniel [Craig] again.
“I think they were looking into a younger James Bond, which is what I suspect will happen next. It was such a strange experience, but I enjoyed it.
“I went in with a script and they were like, ‘We might get you to read something from this scene’ but they don’t tell you what it’s from. After that I was taken upstairs and I met Barbara Broccoli and Martin Campbell, the director at the time.”
