'Outlander' star Sam Hueghan could be James Bond in 2020 but none can replace him as Jamie Fraser for sure

Our favorite hero of the time-traveling drama 'Outlander' had auditioned for the role of James Bond in 2002 and had also tried for a role in 'Game of Thrones' close to seven times.

The face of James Bond franchise would have been so different had Amazon's 'Outlander' hero Sam Heughan bagged the role. The handsome red-haired Scottish actor had auditioned for the James Bond remake when Pierce Brosnan departed the franchise following 'Die Another Day' in 2002. "I did audition for Bond a long time ago when they were redoing it with Daniel Craig when he was Bond 21," Heughan said on 'Live With Kelly and Ryan,' the Radio Times reports.
