CRAIG SICK OF ‘DIFFICULT’ REPUTATION
JAMES BOND star DANIEL CRAIG is sick of journalists labelling him "difficult" because it nearly cost him his role as 007.
The British actor claims he nearly didn’t get the part of the superspy as film company MGM Studios had reservations about hiring him - fearing he would refuse to fulfil promotional duties for Casino Royale.
The 39-year-old, who has started filming his second outing as Bond in Quantum Of Solace, hates his moody media image - insisting he is a friendly person.
He says, "When I was making Bond (Casino Royale), the film company were nervous that I wasn’t going to any press, as that’s my reputation for some reason.
"I don’t think that’s true, it’s just lazy journalism; they want to paint me as someone difficult. I think I’m quite nice, but maybe I’m delusional. There is no point making Bond if you’re not going to sell it."
