John Travolta rejects Bond

John Travolta turned down the role of James Bond because he didn't want to be typecast. The 'Pulp Fiction' star was reportedly first choice by 007 movie bosses to play the suave spy

Fans had even sent him hundreds of thousands of copies of 'Casino Royale' to try to encourage Travolta to accept the part

But Travolta told America's Moviehole

net: "Bond is one of the most dynamic roles in history, one of the most extreme and career defining commitments an actor can make

After careful consideration I feel it might not be best for me at this point

" Meanwhile, blond actor Daniel Craig had a mixed reception by 007 fans when he was announced as the new Bond
