DANIEL CRAIG

Burdened with the tag "Northern Totty", Daniel Craig was not everyone's choice to play Ian Fleming's suave secret agent in Casino Royale. However critics and audience raved over his performance, equating it to that of many people's favourite Bond, Sean Connery. Craig's 007 has been described as mysterious, charming, vulnerable and tough as hell, while his six pack, emerging from the water above a skimpy pair of trunks, had numerous fans swooning in their seats.

Actress SIENNA MILLER has vowed never to date an older man after relationships with JUDE LAW and DANIEL CRAIG revealed they can't keep up with her frantic lifestyle. Sienna split from on/off boyfriend Law, 34, in November (06) and she has also had a fling with new 007 Craig, who is 38. But the ALFIE star, 25, was far from impressed by their staid ways, and suspects a toy boy would better suit her party habits. She says, "They (mature men) want a sophisticated woman. But then I can also behave like a crazy young thing... and they can't keep up."

The new James Bond actor, who made his debut as the secret agent in the critically acclaimed 'Casino Royale', is famed for his piercing blue eyes.
However, Craig is paranoid he will lose his most attractive feature and his rugged good looks won't have the same effect on women.
He said: "Sometimes I think they are getting bluer, maybe. But maybe in 10 years' time they're going to go buoomph! And just go out, and that'll be it. Old grey eyes is back." Craig was recently named the world's sexiest man.
He topped a poll conducted by condom maker Durex, who quizzed 4,000 women on their favourite famous men.
Craig's piercing blue eyes and rippling physique as he emerges from the sea in tiny blue swimming trunks in 'Casino Royale' proved to be a major vote winner.
He beat off stiff competition from a host of Hollywood heartthrobs, including George Clooney and Johnny Depp, to win the title.

‘Casino Royale’ is number ONE!

The James Bond thriller starring first timer Daniel Craig as 007 has past the worldwide record for a James Bond movie.

Over the holiday weekend, “Royale” pulled in $14.5 million at 6,300 locations raising its foreign cume to $304.4 million -- the forty-first biggest international box-office take of all time and the fourth 2006 pic to clear $300 million, joining 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest,' 'The Da Vinci Code' and 'Ice Age: The Meltdown.'

Add to that Sony’s domestic $144 million for the pic and “Royale” has pulled in a worldwide total of $448 million -- $17 million better than ‘Die Another Day,’ the previous best Bond performer.
