“[Back then] he was the new Bond and everything about him was ‘wrong,'” Mads said of Daniel, via Variety. “His height, his nose, his hair.”
However, they found a sense of camaraderie that sometimes led to them getting into trouble: “I think he was glad that I came from independent film too. He had an accomplice. There was a scene where she tickled his balls with a rope. We had so many ideas and the director just looked at us: ‘Guys, let’s go back.’ It’s a Bond movie.’”
Speaking of getting into trouble, the actor revealed that he almost blew his chance in Hollywood when he forgot his script on a plane.
“Royal Casino It was the first script with my name on every page. Which also means that if you lose it, it will be your fault. I got on a plane, started reading it and fell asleep. Then I went out and left it there,” Mads recalled.
What happened? “I was lucky that a cleaning person threw it away and I didn’t know what it was. “That could have been the end of my career at that point.”
He also reflected on the moment he knew exactly what he had signed up for the franchise.
“I had never seen a Bond film until that moment and of course I lied about it. I only knew that guy with metal teeth. [Jaws]. I didn’t realize how big it was until we had the premiere in London and we got to meet the Queen. Or she had to meet us,” she said.
We recently learned that someone very tall was worried that Daniel wasn’t “handsome” enough for his role as James Bond.
