"Wolverine" star Hugh Jackman says he is interested in playing the iconic British spy, James Bond.

While the 46-year-old actor said he has not been approached recently for the role, he is open to be 007 agent, reported E! Online.

"I'd certainly give it a thought. I don't think there's an actor on the planet who wouldn't at least say, 'Oh, let me have a think about that.'"

Jackman had earlier said that he was once offered the role, but decided against it because he was getting ready to film "X-Men 2".

"I'd seriously consider it. Just before Daniel (Craig) took over... At the time I was just about to do "X-Men 2" and I was like 'I don't think it's the right time' - but it was not an easy one for me to give up.
