Director Quentin Tarantino would not have chosen Daniel Craig to play James Bond.
The star said he would like to have directed Casino Royale – but with Pierce Brosnan as 007.
And he claimed that the only reason it was filmed at all was because of him.
He said: "The reason they did Casino Royale all comes down to me.
"I made it a point, I said I wanted to do Casino Royale. They were already on record as saying the movie was unfilmable but then after I said it and talked about it for a little bit – then the big thing on all the internets was that that was what all the fans wanted to see and so that’s when they said, ‘Oh, maybe it’s not so un-filmable.’"
He added: "Actually if I had done the film, I wouldn’t have done it with Daniel Craig, I would have done it with Pierce Brosnan."
Tarantino also admitted he had a secret guilty pleasure – he loves romcoms.
The star, famous for the violent storylines in his movies, said he likes to go to the cinema to indulge.
He said: "These rom-coms get a bad rap but actually I’ve been a fan of romantic comedies since the 30s – they usually work on wordplay and everything like that, so I actually think I’d be really good at it.
"It is a guilty pleasure. I used to find it hard to actually go to the movies by myself, you want to have a date with you so you have an excuse to go."
