Neeson Spurned Bond

Hollywood star [Liam Neeson](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/liam-neeson) turned down the chance to play [James Bond](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/james-bond), because he has never been interested in starring in action movies.

The KINSEY actor was approached to replace [Timothy Dalton](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/timothy-dalton) as the suave super spy in 1995's GOLDENEYE, but film-makers settled for fellow Irishman [Pierce Brosnan](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/pierce-brosnan) after Neeson spurned their advances.

The 52-year-old says, "I was approached very heavily, but I wasn't really interested."
