Craig has lost touch with reality since Bond role

London (ANI): James Bond star Daniel Craig has revealed that he has 'lost touch with reality' since he started playing the role of 007 agent. The 40-year-old, who has been wounded several times while performing own stunts for the forthcoming movie Quantum of Solace, admitted that since his acceptance of the part in 2005, the star has found it difficult to cope with the real world.

"By doing Bond I've lost touch with reality quite a lot. I've become a bit of a commodity and I've got security guys around me most of the time," the Telegraph quoted him as saying. However, the actor insists that it was his family and close ones who helped him keep his feet firmly on the ground. He said: "Fortunately, I've got a great family and really close friends and they give me a hard time. But it's something I encourage them to do, because otherwise I'd disappear up my own a**e!

"I mean, for six months of the year, six days a week, all you're doing is Bond, all you're talking about is Bond. For nearly three months before that, you're doing pre-production on Bond, and when the movie comes out you're promoting Bond."
