New Bond: I hate guns

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.

The movie is due for release in November next year.

Craig is not the first Bond to reveal a hatred of guns.

Roger Moore, who played the superspy from 1973 to 1985, said after quitting the role that he hated "that awful pose" of Bond with his gun which has become an iconic movie image.

The actor later became an ambassador for children's charity Unicef and declared: "Today I am completely opposed to small arms and what they can do to children. I played every role tongue-in-cheek because I don't really believe in that sort of hero. I don't like guns."

New Bond says:

"I hate guns, don't like beautiful women, gas guzzling performance cars, just hate the idea of spying, don't like adventure, loud noises, violence, physical exertion, drinking, gambling, deception, and keeping cool under pressure.

So, come see me as James Bond. I'll be great, even though the whole premise of these movies just sucks wienies!"

This new Bond looks like a poser type kinda like Pierce. Don't think he'll carry the persona very well.

I thought we weren't supposed to talk about the death ray in public.

"He will play a tougher, grittier 007"

Not when he hates guns he won't. He'll be a freaking wuss.

Is this article satire?

Well, if he doesn't like guns, it's really unlikely he'll be reunited with Pussie Galore then. What a putz!

Way back in '97, I was in Italy, winding my way from Rome to L'Aquila, when I noticed a bumper sticker on a car. It read 'too many boys and not enough men.' Thought it was cute, didn't know it was true.

Earth to Daniel Craig: You are an actor. You only sound smart when you are saying something someone else wrote. You are stuffed meat. Learn your lines, stand where they tell you to and don't miss your cue.

Typical liberal hypocrite. Make your millions before you allow your "conscience" to kick in.

I'm sure he donated all of his fortune to UNICEF. /sarc

RTOFL... thats some great pre-publicity from this clown. I'm sure his agent and media execs are tearing him a new one and already arranging some 'media event' where he shoots clay pigeons or something.

Without guns, who would keep Sean Penns boat safe?

I couldn't agree more on Connery who was the best Bond of all time, and those movies he made that you can watch 50 times, I probably have, and still love the stories. Now we have frigging panty wads who don't like guns or violence, but they sure as Hell don't mind the paycheck even when they have terminated all kinds of villains in the picture. Typical Hollywood BS.

I don't think it is satire. I got it off of my outdoors.net home page. An isp that gives a buck a month to nra per subscriber. They haven't spoofed before that I know of.
