Mads Mikkelsen spoke about the situation, which, according to him, almost cost him his career, during a speech at the Zurich Film Festival, which took place from September 28 to October 8.

The actor said that during the production process of the film “Casino Royale” by Martin Campbell, he simply forgot the script on the plane.



Casino Royale was the first script where my name was on every page. This meant that if it were lost, all the consequences would be on my conscience. I just got on the plane, started reading and fell asleep. Then I went out, forgetting him there.

I was lucky that some cleaner threw it away without having a clue what it was. This is the situation that could have been the end of my career.

Talking to fans, Mikkelsen also admitted that he had not watched the 007 films before filming one of them. In addition, he expressed the opinion that he himself would not play James Bond - even if Christopher Nolan directed his adventures.

I had never seen a Bond film up to that point and, of course, I lied about it during the audition. I knew that guy with the metal teeth (Jaws from The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker.

I didn't realize how big this franchise is until we attended the premiere in London and met the Queen herself. Well, or it was she who met us.
