Sam Worthington believes that he wasn't right for the role of James Bond.
The actor was considered for the part of 007 after the departure of Pierce Brosnan, the role finally going to Daniel Craig.
Speaking to Shortlist Magazine the actor said: "I held off and held off doing the audition because I couldn't find a way into the character. And when I finally did I went for it.
"I got a half a day of acting with 'Casino Royale' director Martin Campbell. I got to do some scenes with some great actors, gave it my all, and it wasn't right for me."
However the actor isn't looking back after taking up the role of Jake Sully in James Cameron's Avatar, which has gone on to become the biggest grossing movie of all time.
And Worthington believes that his past auditioning experiences helped him land the role in the groundbreaking sci-fi epic.
"I was backing myself. I had nothing to lose and everything to gain.
"I thought the least I'll get out of this is to act a few scenes with James Cameron, and that's a hell of an opportunity.
"I learned that from going for the James Bond audition. If I give it all I've got and still don't get the part, then so be it. This time I did."
