Heath Snubs Bond
Comments
Heath Ledger has ruled out being the next James Bond.
The hunky Australian actor, who is dating his 'Ned Kelly' co-star Naomi Watts, had been one of the favourites to take over from Pierce Brosnan as 007.
But Heath has reportedly told friends he doesn't want the part.
A source revealed: "Heath is worried he will be type-cast if he plays the suave spy."
Other stars in line to replace 50-year-old Brosnan include Orlando Bloom, Jude Law, Christian Bale and Ewan McGregor.
'X-Men' star Hugh Jackman is currently the hot favourite to take on the role, after Brosnan hinted the next Bond would be Australian.
