London,
(ANI):
Singer
Sir
Tom
Jones
has
revealed
that
producer
Cubby
Broccoli
had
once
considered
him
to
play
James
Bond
in
the
late
1960s
and
early
1970s.
During
a
radio
interview,
the
70-year-old
star
revealed
how
Broccoli
toyed
with
the
idea
of
casting
the
popular
singer
as
007.
"I
would
have
liked
to
be
Bond
and
at
one
time
it
was
discussed," the
Sun
quoted
Jones
as
saying.
"Cubby
said
when
my
name
was
put
forward,
'Tom
Jones
is
so
recognisable
as
Tom
Jones.
Would
people
accept
him
as
Bond?
Could
they
get
past
him
being
Tom
Jones?' Apparently
that
was
the
problem,"
he
added.
