Michael Fassbender, famous for playing the supervillain Magneto in X-Men movies, recently appeared on the Happy Sad Confused podcast. During the conversation, Fassbender revealed how he ended up suggesting Daniel Craig’s name for the iconic James Bond role, despite auditioning for it himself.

After being asked by host Josh Horowitz if there was “ever a real Bond conversation” involving Fassbender, the X-Men actor responded, “I met with Barbara Broccoli just, you know, through passing and I actually went in for an audition phase before Daniel [Craig] was cast, but I don’t think I was ever in the mix.”
