Daniel Craig Clarifies That He Does Not Actually Hate James Bond

Daniel Craig does not hate playing James Bond, please believe him! Last month, Craig caused a stir when he joked that he would rather commit suicide than play Britain’s most famous secret agent one more time. Which is fine; it does look exhausting. (All that parkour can’t be easy on the knees.) But now, after what we’re sure was a mind-numbing media-training session, Craig went on Today to set the record straight. “If you’re 200 yards from the end of a marathon and someone comes running up to you and says, ‘Are you going to run another marathon?’ there’s two words you use, and not on a morning show,†he told Matt Lauer. “So that’s what that was about.â€Â Craig emphasized that the Spectre set wasn’t all torture. â€I’ve had massive amounts of fun making this film. Probably more fun on this film than I have on all the others put together,†he added, without blinking any secret messages in Morse code.
