Sam Worthington not worried about narrowly missing out on 007 role

In a recent interview with SMH, the Australian actor admitted he was not at all bothered about losing out on the role of James Bond 007 to Daniel Craig.

He insists he wasn't disappointed to lose out on the suave spy role, because there is so much pressure attached to playing the character.

"I wasn't gutted at the time, man. It didn't bother me in the slightest because you can learn from it and go, 'Do you know what? I wouldn't want to see a James Bond movie with me in it anyway,'" he laughed.

"The last time there was an Australian as James Bond it was George Lazenby and he f**ked it up. I don't want to be the new f**king George Lazenby. But you know, I learned a lot from that, which I took into the Avatar auditions."
