Recently, acclaimed actor Liam Neeson disclosed that he was offered the role but refused it due to an ultimatum by his wife.
People magazine reported that in a recent appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Liam Neeson revealed that he refused to play James Bond on the big screen as his late wife Natasha Richardson was not on board with the idea.
Liam Neeson and his eldest son Micheál starred in Made in Italy , which is about an artist who reunites with his estranged son after the death of his wife.
The actor will be seen in character for one last time in No Time to Die, which is scheduled to release later this year.
