Did you know Sean Bean originally auditioned to play James Bond in 1994? In a conversation with the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, Sean reflected on that time, saying his name had been mentioned for 007 but it “just didn’t work out.” The role ultimately went to Pierce Brosnan, who had long been the favourite choice. However, impressed by Sean’s performance, the filmmakers cast him as Bond’s former friend and dark equal, Agent 006, in GoldenEye (1995). (via SAG-AFTRA Foundation) #seanbean #jamesbond #gold
