Matthew Rhys has added his name to the long list of British actors who, despite their best efforts, would not be Bond.
The star of PerryMason And The American tell London times that he managed to royally ruin his meeting with the producers of 007 when they were looking for a replacement for Pierce Brosnan.
Rhys told the paper he was invited to their central London office: “Very intimidating. We were just told to wear a dark suit and read Casino Royale.“
Producers asked him what he would do differently with the iconic screen character.
said Rhys The times: “I just remember saying ‘Ah’. So I didn’t expect this question. And then I thought, is this a trick question? Wait for people to say, ‘I won’t do anything. He’s perfect’?”
And he didn’t think he had to be like, ‘Oh, it’s a little crazy for a couple of decades, isn’t it? I think we can drop the misogynistic jokes,” so he tried a joke. “I would make him limp. I said, “Weak?” Nothing. “Eyeblink?” Nothing.”
Laughing at the prospect of Daniel Craig following him, Rhys answered the same question: ‘Gitty reboot? Job done.”
Fortunately, after his breakout role, Rhys followed his own star brothers and sistersand leading roles PerryMason And The American. The latter starred alongside Keri Russell, his partner, and the two are working together again on Elizabeth Banks’ 2023 comedy-horror film. cocaine bear.
