David Tennant says he was almost cast as James Bond over Daniel Craig

David Tennant has revealed he was almost cast as James Bond instead of Daniel Craig, but the talented actor only realised his chances recently.

Craig, 54, gained international fame playing the secret agent James Bond in the film series, beginning with Casino Royale in 2006 and in four further instalments, up to No Time to Die 2021.
