Hugh Jackman is campaigning for the role of 007, if internet sources are to be trusted. Jackman recently revealed he started rumors on the net that he was in negotiations to star in the next James Bond movie, the 21st in the series.
According to the source, Jackman said, “There is something very secretive about the way they cast that role. I’ve never had an official call asking: ‘Are you interested or not?’ But there’s no guy I know who wouldn’t want that role – and that includes me. Anyone who says otherwise is lying.”
Former Bond star Pierce Brosnan personally backed Colin Farrell for the role at the Irish Film and Television Awards, where he said, “But I’ll give it to Colin Farrell. He’ll eat the head off them all.”
Rumored for the role along with Jackman and Farrell are Jude Law, Colin Firth, and Clive Owen. Farrell is rumored to be the favorite to get the part.
