Actor Ben Starr, known for his roles in Final Fantasy XVI, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and Hades 2, has revealed that he auditioned for the role of James Bond in 007: First Light. He didn’t get the part, which ultimately went to Patrick Gibson, and Starr said he was “so f**king happy” to have not gotten the role.<\/p>\n

“I never would have gotten it. I was terrible,\u201d Starr told VGC. \u201cI remember doing a self-tape for it. I did the GoldenEye scene, and I got recalled to meet the team.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was a couple of years into doing Final Fantasy at that point, and it hadn\u2019t been released, so I was just a young actor who liked video games,” he added.<\/p>\n

Although Starr got a callback for the part, he said he “kind of crumbled under the pressure” and did not “deliver what they wanted.”<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m so f**king happy I didn\u2019t get anywhere near it, because my god, Patrick Gibson is so f**king good. He\u2019s unbelievable,\u201d Starr said.<\/p>\n

First Light is expected to get a sequel, and we’d imagine that Gibson would come back for it. As for Starr, one of his upcoming projects is for the strategy game Stronghold 4.<\/p>\n
