Washington
(ANI):
Daniel
Craig
says
that
he
does
not
like
being
projected
by
the
media
as
a
moody
actor
because
this
image
almost
cost
him
James
Bond's
role
in
Casino
Royale.
The
British
actor
says
that
film
bosses
at
MGM
Studios
had
reservations
about
hiring
him
after
the
press
labelled
him
a
"difficult" actor.
Craig
says
that
the
filmmakers
were
afraid
that
he
would
refuse
to
fulfil
promotional
duties
for
Casino
Royale.
"When
I
was
making
Bond
(Casino
Royale),
the
film
company
were
nervous
that
I
wasn't
going
to
any
press,
as
that's
my
reputation
for
some
reason," Contactmusic
quoted
him
as
saying.
The
39-year-old
star,
who
is
reprising
Bond"s
role
in
Quantum
Of
Solace,
insists
that
he
is
a
friendly
person.
"I
don't
think
that's
true,
it's
just
lazy
journalism;
they
want
to
paint
me
as
someone
difficult.
I
think
I'm
quite
nice,
but
maybe
I'm
delusional.
There
is
no
point
making
Bond
if
you're
not
going
to
sell
it,"
he
said.
