Clive Owen getting sick of the unfounded rumours he is James Bond #6

18-Jul-2004 • Casino Royale

British star-on-the-rise Clive Owen wants to make it clear he is not in talks to be the next James Bond, reports Stuff.

In seemingly good spirits while talking about the non-Camelot take on King Arthur, in which he has assumed the title role, Owen is clearly getting fed up with journalists' questions about rumours he is in talks to be the next 007.



"It is a complete rumour and I don't know where it comes from," he says. "I think that Pierce Brosnan is a fantastic Bond, who has really invigorated the whole franchise, has made that company a lot of money and they should be banking it in saying, 'He's our man', until he steps down. So let's just leave it at that!"

Nor does Owen aspire to be the next Bond. "I really don't think about it," he says, emphatically.

Thanks to `Barracuda` for the alert.
