Mel Gibson wanted to play Bond, James Bond, but he was rejected by the producer and the screenwriter for the role according to
Bang Showbiz!!! They felt, “Bond had to be tall. And so Mel Gibson was too short. But he was a big star. Somebody at United Artists said to me, ‘Call him and tell him Mel Gibson would be great.’ And Cubby said, ‘I don’t want to make a Mel Gibson movie, I want to make a James Bond movie.’” Ha Ha! All of this went down before the Sugar T!ts incident. They knew what we didn’t realize just yet. Although I have to admit they really made the right decision because Mel Gibson was always too rugged to play the suave James Bond. Would you have gone to see 007 with him in it? I know I wouldn’t have because he was never a Bond, James Bond.
