`Phantom` star Gerard Butler fed up with the James Bond rumours

"The Phantom of the Opera" star Gerard Butler wishes people would stop asking him if he's going to replace Pierce Brosnan as British superspy James Bond 007 - reports ContactMusic.

The 35-year-old shot to fame starring in the recent movie adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's hit musical, and doesn't feel he deserves to fill a role played by some of Britain's finest actors yet.

Butler says of rumours linking him to Bond, "I'm starting to get tired of hearing that but like what I always say, it's not true."

Last week Butler said he "would not object if offered the role".

Thanks to `JP` for the alert.
