Daniel Craig Calls James Bond a Misogynist
Which is refreshing, considering most of Bond’s love interests are in their 20s or early 30s.
According to Daniel Craig, he is.
But these moments of fleeting redemption should not overshadow the innate misogyny of a character whose endurance was owed to his representation of “the eternal struggle between good and evil”, Craig said.
Craig said: “The only thing that matters now are the audience, beyond whatever the press are saying”.
A cryptic message reveals ghosts from Bond’s past, and 007 (Daniel Craig) realises he must protect Dr Madeleine Swann (Lea Seydoux) – daughter of fugitive Mr White (Jesper Christensen), last seen in Quantum Of Solace – in order to unravel the mystery.
Not only did his comments turn heads of Bond enthusiasts, but he also got destroyed by a few of his peers, notably Grey’s Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo, who knows a thing or two about taking a role and creating longevity out of it, as she’s played the role of Meredith Grey for 11 years now.
The new James Bond movie SPECTRE is hitting cinemas (read our review here), most likely by abseiling down the side of the theatre whilst dressed in a tuxedo. In an interview with Esquire, Craig admitted he and the production team felt pressure to follow-up 2012’s Skyfall movie given its huge success.
But the most withering response came in response to the assertion that Craig had “gone one better” by showing 007 “succumbing to the charms of an older woman”, namely the 51-year-old Italian Actress Monica Bellucci.
Can you tell I miss the guy? It’s all about ‘Who am I?’ instead of ‘What am I doing?’ Food for thought. Meanwhile, on whether or not he’ll suit again, Craig gives his most level-headed answer yet. Infamously, the actor colorfully replied, “I’d rather break this glass and slash my wrists…All I want to do is move on”.
He said: “I think it’s unlikely because I really feel like this is a complete pair of movies and I’m really happy I did this one but it was really hard work to begin with”.
Starring alongside Monica Bellucci, Christoph Waltz and Ralph Fiennes, Craig, 47, reprises his role as the MI6 agent on a new mission which takes him to Mexico City and Rome with Sam Mendes directing. Where do we go from there?
Spectre will release on November. 6.
