Actor says he was up for role in Pierce Brosnan 007 film but fluffed it after night out with future Bond
The actor Mark Strong has revealed he fluffed an audition to be a Bond villain because he went out drinking the night before with Daniel Craig.
Strong – best known for his roles as Lord Henry Blackwood in Sherlock Holmes, Merlin in the Kingsman films and Daniel Milton in the medical drama Temple – said he was up for a role as a villain in a Pierce Brosnan 007 movie, but a night out with Brosnan’s eventual successor scuppered his chances.
