New Bond: I hate guns By This is London 25 October 2005 Daniel Craig will have a problem playing the new James Bond - because he hates guns.
The actor will wield 007's famous Walther PPK in the movie Casino Royale.
But he revealed in OK! magazine: "I hate handguns. Handguns are used to shoot people and as long as they are around, people will shoot each other.
"That's a simple fact. I've seen a bullet wound and it was a mess. It was on a shoot and it scared me. Bullets have a nasty habit of finding their target and that's what's scary about them."
Nor does the 37-year-old share Bond's love of Martinis shaken and stirred.
"I love a Martini straight up. I don't think anybody makes a Martini stirred any more," he said.
Craig was unveiled earlier this month as the successor to Pierce Brosnan. He will play a tougher, grittier 007 in Casino Royale, which is based on Ian Fleming's first Bond book.
This might really stretch his acting ability.
James Buggered is more like it. Wotta wimp! Secret agent scared of guns sheesh.
Drunken lout, and a weenie, too.
I recall some time ago where Broccoli et als were pushing gun control.
Wonder who they'll pick to play his boyfriend?
Let's stop worrying about Harriet Miers and get on the dump the new nominee for James Bond bandwagon.
"I hate handguns. Handguns are used to shoot people and as long as they are around, people will shoot each other."
Unlike before the invention of firearms, when everyone lived in harmony and peace. Fool.
He was afraid of guns as his character in Layer Cake but learned to use one quite well. After seeing his range of acting in that film, I think he'll be able to create a believable Bond.
He sounds right for a re-make of Little Women - get a real replacement.
Bring back Connery! Or even Brosnan for pete's sake! This guy's a joke!
What umitigated faggotry!
James Bond is a girly man??
"I hate handguns. Handguns are used to shoot people and as long as they are around, people will shoot each other."
Yeah, there were no murders until the invention of the gun. What a stupid Git (little brit lingo there).
Funny you should say that because, in Layer Cake, the head crime boss asked him if he was gay.
Who the hell is the Director of this movie?
I congratulate the producers' bold decision to go with Ms. Degeneres.
LOL!
This guy sounds like a natural marksman. Although he has "issues" with his inborn talent.
Ever see a rape victim? Ever see a victim of a violent assault? Ever see a stabbing victim?
