London
(ANI):
Legendary
actor
Clint
Eastwood
has
revealed
that
he
has
no
regrets
about
turning
down
the
role
of
James
Bond,
as
he
believes
the
007
agent
should
be
played
by
a
British
actor.
Eastwood,
79,
who
had
been
approached
by
Bond
bosses
after
Sean
Connery
quit
the
franchise,
insists
that
he
made
the
right
decision,
as
he
did
not
want
the
surperspy
to
be
portrayed
by
an
American.
“I
thought
James
Bond
should
be
British.
I
am
of
British
descent
but
by
that
same
token,
I
thought
that
it
should
be
more
of
the
culture
there
and
also,
it
was
not
my
thing," the
Daily
Express
quoted
him
as
saying.
Bond
has
been
played
by
British
stars
like
Roger
Moore,
Timothy
Dalton
and
Daniel
Craig,
with
the
only
exceptions
being
Australian
George
Lazenby
and
Irish
actor
Pierce
Brosnan.
