The Americans’ Matthew Rhys has detailed his excruciatingly awkward audition to be the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:next James Bond after Pierce Brosnan. Spoiler alert: it didn&r🤡squoꦡ;t go well.

"I do remember a time justಞ before Daniel [Craig] got it," Rhys recalled in an interview with .

The actor detailed the "intimidating" process, which featured a face-to-face meeting with the producers in London. "We were just told to wear a dark suit and read 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Casino Royale," he explained.

"They said, ‘What would you do differently with Bond?’ And I just remember going, ‘Ah.’ I was so not anticipating that question. And then I was like, is it a trick question? Are they waiting for people to go, ‘I wouldn’t do anything. He’s perfect&ಞrsquo;?"

The search for the next Bond, meanwhile, goes on. No casting decision has been made yet – though the producers sound fairly adamant that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:they want a "thirtysomething" to take the role. Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who is stepping into Sony’s Spider-Man universe in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the R-Rated Kraven the Hunter, is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:reportedly one of the frontrunners to replace Craig.
