NEWS | Craig talks Bond

I've had my share of pessimistic thoughts regarding Daniel Craig as James Bond but I'm no 007 freak so I'm hardly the target audience. Sadly, for all those involved, a lot of the 007 freaks have the same gripes I have. Daniel Craig, the man who was tapped to be James Bond in the "reinvention" of the series, has faced a lot of scrutiny since signing on and he gives his first in-depth interview to Entertainment Weekly. In the issue that's on stands today (the Fall Preview Issue), Craig takes the cover and talks about the negative feedback. Craig is surprisingly blunt in the interview saying about the fans, "They hate me. They don't think I'm right for the role. It's as simple as that." He goes on to say, "If I went onto the Internet and started looking at what some people were saying about me—which, sadly, I have done—it would drive me insane." He hopes people will reserve judgment and I'd have to agree. It's a pretty interesting and honest article and you can read it online at EW's site here.

Little Known Fact: Craig says he watched every single Bond movie about 3-4 times.
