Goofy Bond Daniel Craig

Daniel Craig is "downright goofy", says his 'Defiance' co-star Liev Schreiber.

The actor - who reprised his role as British agent James Bond in 'Quantum of Solace' - is nothing like his cool on-screen alter ego.

Liev explained to US TV show 'Entertainment Tonight': "We had a lot of fun, which was important because what we were doing was really quite sombre. Daniel Craig is far more entertaining and just downright goofy than I think most people think he is, and that's a result of that Bond thing he's doing."

The World War II movie, based on Nechama TecCast's book 'Defiance: The Bielski Partisans', tells the story of three Jewish brothers who join together in a bid to avenge the deaths of their closest relatives at the hands of the Nazis and end up helping countless other persecuted Jews in their quest.


Daniel, 40, recently revealed he likes being an actor because he can "dress up and show off".

He said: "You get into acting for the chase. It's dressing up and showing off. Let's be honest about it, at its basic level."

James Bond killed by crunch

Daniel Craig says there may not be another James Bond film "any time soon" - because of the credit crunch.

The 'Quantum of Solace' actor claims the world's current economic climate is taking its toll on movie producers, who may struggle to find the cash for the next instalment in the spy franchise.

He said: "As far as the next film is concerned, there is nothing scheduled. Economically the world is in quite a lot of trouble so who knows if we can afford to do another Bond movie any time soon?"

Despite his concerns, Craig would have no hesitation saving the world as 007 again.

He said: "I'm quite superstitious and I don't take anything for granted. I'd love to do another one."

Craig, 40, has revealed similar character traits between himself and his onscreen hero, saying he could also end someone's life to protect his loved ones.

He added to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "I would kill for my family, it's as simple as that. And my friends are the most important thing to me."

'Quantum of Solace' - the 22nd film in the series - is released this month.

Daniel Craig's surreal world

Daniel Craig has "lost touch with reality" since he began playing James Bond.

The actor - who reprises his role as the British spy in upcoming movie 'Quantum of Solace' - has struggled to cope with the intense interest in his private life since accepting the part in 2005.

He said: "By doing Bond I've lost touch with reality quite a lot. I've become a bit of a commodity and I've got security guys around me most of the time."

Daniel - who is dating American film producer Satsuki Mitchell -insists those closest to him keep him grounded and don't allow him to let fame go to his head.

He added to the Telegraph magazine: "Fortunately, I've got a great family and really close friends and they give me a hard time. But it's something I encourage them to do, because otherwise I'd disappear up my own a**e! I mean, for six months of the year, six days a week, all you're doing is Bond, all you're talking about is Bond. For nearly three months before that, you're doing pre-production on Bond, and when the movie comes out you're promoting Bond."

Daniel Craig: 'I'll Never Wear Swimming Trunks Again'

Daniel Craig has vowed never to wear tight trunks in a James Bond film again.

The 40-year-old hunk -- who sent pulses racing when he donned fitted blue swim shorts in a beach scene for his first film as the suave British spy in 2006's Casino Royale -- is refusing to squeeze into the sexy swimwear again.

He said, "I'm not going to put those trunks on ever again."

Craig also revealed he will not look as toned and muscular in new film Quantum of Solace because of a different exercise regime.

He said, "I trained differently this time."

A source added, "Even if he has spent less time in the gym and will be wearing more clothes, Daniel would be hard-pushed to disappoint his female fans."

A fan said, "Craig may say he is not as buff as last time but he still looks in pretty good shape."

Quantum of Solace, which also stars Judi Dench; Olga Kurylenko; and Jeffrey Wright, is released in the UK on October 31, and worldwide throughout November.

Daniel Craig: I got a whole set of injuries on James Bond set

Actor was in pain filming Quantum Of Solace

Daniel Craig was involved in a series of scrapes while filming the latest James Bond movie.

The actor says working on Quantum Of Solace was even more gruelling than shooting his first 007 movie Casino Royale.

‘The last time I pulled my Achilles tendon and was limping around a lot – I was in major pain a lot of the shooting,’ he says.

‘But now it’s a whole new set of injuries.

‘I’ve been even more physically involved in every aspect of this film, so accidents are bound to happen.’

Daniel, 40, was rushed to hospital twice during filming – once for gash on his face that required eight stitches and then for a broken finger.

But he says he was happy to push himself to the limit.

‘I thought if Casino Royale failed, I could just walk away and say: “OK, I screwed that up” and go off and try something else,’ he tells the Sunday Express.

‘Now we have to prove the last one wasn’t just a fluke. This is even more important to me than it was before.’
