David Tennant has discovered he was one of the names on the list to play James Bond before Daniel Craig landed the role in 2005.
The 51-year-old former Doctor Who star revealed a friend of 007 producers Barbara Broccoli and her half-brother Michael G. Wilson told him the news.
Asked if he has ever been in the running for a Bond movie, Tennant replied: "No, I never believed I had until I worked with a director recently who had worked with the Broccolis, who said, 'Yeah, you were on the list that time.'
