Sam Heughan

Scottish actor Sam Heughan revealed he had previously tried out for James Bond.

Although that audition was unsuccessful, the 'Outlander' star is ready to try again.

Speaking on podcast ‘Just The Facts with Alex Zane', he said: "I have been up for Bond.

"I went up for it when they did ‘Bond 21’ ['Casino Royale']. It was an amazing experience and I was completely out of my depth. But I think now I feel the right age for it. I feel capable enough to do it. I’d love the opportunity to throw my hat in the ring."
