After Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds, who had caused a bit of a stir when he hinted at being the next James Bond, has clarified where he stands with taking on the infamous role. According to E! News, fans of 007 were left shaken when Ryan during an interview with a news outlet had said, "I hear they're looking for a new Bond. Could you accept a Canadian sipping gin and tonic instead of a martini? If so, I'm interested." His comments come shortly after Daniel Craig fulfilled his last adventure as the secret agent earlier this year.

But now Ryan has made it clear that he was kidding during the interview, tweeting recently, "I promise you I was not even remotely serious here," alongside a gif that also read, "That's bait." And as added clarification, after entrepreneur Vincenzo Landino tweeted, "If the Bond franchise is going to do something radical, this is my 007," the 'Deadpool' star had three simple words squashing the idea in response, "No, no, no."
