Mark Strong had his shot to join the James Bond franchise in the 1990s during the Pierce Brosnan era, but it turns out an intense hangover ruined his audition. Why such an intense hangover? Strong went out drinking with none other than Daniel Craig the night before the Bond audition. Talk about a full circle James Bond encounter.
“I learned the lines…and to celebrate I went out for a drink, and I got pissed,” Strong said during an interview on Sky One’s “There’s Something About Movies” (via THR). “I overdid it and the next day I was severely hungover.”
Strong stumbled to the audition, where he was trying out to play the villain in a Pierce Brosnan-led Bond movie. In front of eight casting executives, he bombed. The actor explained, “I started, then I just forgot my lines, couldn’t remember what they were and they all just kind of fell apart.
