Hugh Jackecman, as the mass audience knows, exploded in fame when he appeared in Brian Singer's "X-Men" in 2000Playing the silent mutant Volverine. Before X-Men, he appeared only in two low-budget films in his native Australia. After the X-Men, he was one of Hollywood's most famous actors. Mankmen began leading romantic high -profile comedies, such as "someone like you" and "Kate and Leopold", as well as thrillers such as "sword fish" and "Van Helsing". He is a talented actor, dancer and singer, but also possessed the inexpressible quality "IT" that the Starsevils film is so often found. He is beautiful and charming and confident. These days, he almost feels like he is destined to be a leading man in Hollywood.

Indeed, there was a short period of time when Jackecman was waver to play the next Jamesesheims Bond. Pierce Brosnan 007's fourth and last film, "Die another day", came out in 2002, and was omitted by critics, marking the end of an era for the character. The Jamesesheims Bond will clearly need massive retulency and repetition if he wanted to survive in the world 11/11. The network was thrown, and MGM (who owned the rights 007 at the time) began looking for its new British spy. As is the case every time the role is opened, there was a crazy dash to fill.

Allegedly Christian Bale was offered a roleBut he rejected him, feeling too British for him (Bale is Welsh). Henry Cavill also auditedBut he was too young at the time. Goran Visnjic was rejected Because he couldn't talk to a British dialect.

As we all know now, the part eventually went to Daniel Craig. But Jackecman was offered the role, which would potentially make the second Australian actor playing Bond (George Lazeni is also an Australian). In an interview in 2022 with IndiveJackecman acknowledged that the Jamesesheims Bond would take too much of his time, and he wanted the highway to play parts except 007 and Wolverine.

Wolverine, it should be noted, is a long lasting, repetitive gig for Jackman. He played the role in 10 films to date (one only Ameo), recently in a hit in the comedy in 2024 "Deadpool & Wolverine". His association with the role was even joked about the image of Deadpool, who gave up that Jackecman would play Wolverine until he turned 90. Jackecman probably had to clear his schedule for each of his performances on Wolverine, which undoubtedly included bulky prints and interviews.

To do it twice with the Jameseims Bond sounded grueling and restrictive to Jackecman. Of course, Bond would probably have been very profitable for the actor, but he also enjoyed his craft and wanted to play more types of roles than just action heroes. As he said:

"I didn't want to do the same things. This is a problem. "(...) I looked at the JamesiMs Bond ...).

The next film 007, "Casino Royal", was released in 2006, the same year Jackecman appeared in a wide range of films. He starred in the comedy of Woody Allen "teaspoon", The film of Christopher Nolan's magician, "Prestige", "Prestige", The spiritual dismissal of Darren Aronofsky's "Fountain" and the debut of Aardman's Animation Animation "missed". He was able to take more jobs, all very different, instead of playing the Jamesesheims Bond. It seems to be a logical trade.

Indeed, in 2012, Jackecman received an Oscar nomination for His performance at Les Miserables, Something he couldn't do if Volverine was and 007. He made the right decision.
