Gerard Butler has hinted that he would not take on the role of James Bond if the role was offered to him.
He did appear for a brief moment in Tomorrow Never Dies but he believes that audiences would struggle to accept him other roles if he was to take on the part of 007.
In an interview with ShortList the actor said: "I enjoy doing an array of films. If I was to play Bond, that would quickly stop. How likely would I be accepted doing those roles after having played Bond?
"You do a lot of movies as Bond and you'd become even more synonymous with the role. I think Daniel Craig is a great Bond and good for him, but I would much rather create a role from nothing."
He added: "I feel blessed to have done 300 because I think it will go down as a seminal movie and a classic. And it came out of nowhere."
Over the last couple of years Butler has seen his career soar with roles in 300 to romantic comedy P.S. I Love You and he returns to the big screen this week in action movie Gamer.
