Daniel Craig jokes about Hugh Jackman starring as James Bond, says “over my dead body”

Before Daniel Craig was casted as the British super-spy in 2006's Casino Royale, James Bond series, Hugh Jackman was a high-ranking prospect for the role. Once again, with Craig bidding farewell to the series, Jackman seems to be enjoying hearing his name in the conversation especially when it comes up during one of the current Bond star's interviews.

Daniel Craig jokes about Hugh Jackman starring as James Bond, says “over my dead body”

On Monday, Jackman shared a clip of an interview between Scottish television presenter Lorraine Kelly and Craig. When Kelly brought up the search for the new Bond and began to mention advice that Jackman had apparently given him, Craig interrupted her, joking that The Greatest Showman star would not be taking the role adding "Over my dead body, “with a smile, causing Kelly to break into laughter.

Captioning the clip, Jackman joked, "Well … that kills that rumor!" He added, "Daniel, mate, you will always be @007 to me. #notimetodie. I'm IN. @lorrainekellysmith."

Every now and then Craig and Jackman joke about each other for taking up the role of the super-spy. Jackman has been open about his interest in playing Bond over the years, even revealing he was tapped as a potential replacement for Pierce Brosnan before Craig took over the role.

In 2015, the question about Jackman's interest in Bond came up again, with the actor saying at the time, "I'd seriously consider it," while on Australia's The Project.  In an interview with the U.K.'s Independent earlier this month, Craig actually credited Jackman for helping him through some of the struggles he went through as he played Bond.

Jackman and Craig are longtime friends. They starred together on the Broadway stage in 2009's A Steady Rain, which had a limited run. On the work front, in April 2021, it was announced that Jackman and Laura Dern will star together in Florian Zeller's adaptation of his stage play, The Son. He will return to Broadway in a revival of The Music Man, playing Harold Hill, which is set to begin previews in December 2021 and open in February 2022. However, Daniel Craig starrer Bond series film ‘No Time to die’ is set to release on 30 September 2021 in India.

One of the greatest films of all time, Lagaan (2001), completed 23 years on June 15. Starring Aamir Khan and Gracy Singh, it was a fictional period drama about a group of villagers learning cricket, a game alien to them, and playing it against the British. In the pre-climax, when the villagers fear defeat, they collectively pray to God. This is when 'O Paalanhaare' is played and it leaves viewers teary-eyed. The song took a life of its own and is one of the most loved film devotional songs of all time. Many are surprised to know that Javed Akhtar, an atheist, penned this track.
