Tom Jones 'Offered James Bond Role'

October 4, 2010
Tom Jones 'Offered James Bond Role'Tom Jones has revealed that he was approached about playing James Bond.

The 70-year-old star said his name was mentioned for the role but it was decided that he was too well known as a singer.

“When I was young I would have liked to be James Bond – and at one time it was discussed,’ he told Smooth Radio.

“I think it came from Cubby Broccoli, who was in charge – and when my name was put forward, he said, ‘Tom Jones is so recognisable as Tom Jones – he’s a character, he’s become this singer with a big character’.”

Jones released his latest studio album 'Praise & Blame' earlier this year. He is due to play The Princes Trust Royal Rock Gala in London next month.
