I can’t help it: I find Daniel Craig to be irresistibly hot. But until today, I never knew that my Daniel Craig crush had limits – these are photos of Daniel at yesterday’s UK premiere of The Adventures of TinTin: The Secret of the Unicorn. He looks… not sexy. What’s up with that? I think it’s the weird tri-color goatee that’s throwing me off. It’s definitely not the pissy expression, by the way. I love Daniel’s bitchface. He has the best “natural bitchface” ever – it’s even better than Jessica Alba’s. Usually, when Daniel looks like he’s about to tell someone off, I’m already hot for him. And I’ve seen him with a beard too – but I’ve never seen with this strange half-white/blonde goatee thing, and it’s destroying my crush.
The goatee thing could be for the new James Bond film, Skyfall, which is being directed by Sam Mendes (who used to date Daniel’s current wife, Rachel Weisz). British sources claim that Craig is growing out a beard for Bond, which will begin shooting very soon. If he grows out a full beard like he had in The Mother (that was a good movie – and his beard was a dirty, reddish, brownish blonde), it will be fine. Just as long as he doesn’t keep this goatee.
Incidentally, the more I here about Skyfall, the more worried I become. This isn’t going to be jet-set, big-budget homoeroticism amongst the glitzy spy community, with Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem and Ralph Fiennes oiled up and ready to go at various exotic locales. Sources say that Sam Mendes wants to make an “intimate” James Bond film. UGH! A source tells The Sun, “They’ve really scaled back. The lavish production and locations have been cut. There is only a reduced cast and crew traveling to the few overseas destinations. There’s not so flash hand-to-hand fighting, it’s gone back to blowing stuff up – including London’s Vauxhall Bridge.” Another source says that Mendes wants a film based on “characterful performances,” and “There are growing rumours Sam Mendes is cutting out the action scenes and making it Oscar-friendly.”
Also: Here’s Daniel in the latest Girl With the Dragon Tattoo trailer. It shows a hell of a lot of the story.

Gorgeous, i loved him with a beard in The Golden Compass.
Still don’t get the appeal. His top lip is much too thin and I just can’t put my finger on it, I just don’t like his face, for whatever reason. The beard at least makes him look a bit like Christop Waltz, who I think is gorgeous, but not Mr. Craig.
I usually don’t get his appeal, but he looks good here, I think. Then again, I tend to like men with beards so.. 😀
Hopefully it’ll be his last Bond film [in his contract].
I don’t see how he looks good. His eyes are red rimmed and he looks anaemic.
Ewwwww!
Double 0 NOO!
On the other hand, it’s heartwarming to see Mr. Tumnus from Narnia still finding work. It’s tough out there for Fauns.
I still think he’s HOT and I hate beards. I guess my lust for Mr. Craig is unconditional 🙂
I’m feeling concerned for the next Bond too, after reading this little synopsis. I’m sure it will be good (I love Daniel as Bond) but they better not mess with the formula too much.
he looks alike David Fincher here http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000399/ they spend too many times together
FUG, Ugg, Wow, Bond’s gotten REALLY old. Why didn’t they want the handsome beautiful Pierce Brosnan? Brosnan looks better today than this guy does today.
Bet they dye it for the movie. More FAIL
NOOOOO! This is terrible!!! I’m a die-hard and I want ass slapping, pretty clothes and witty quips during hand to hand combat in an exotic locale!!
I really cannot deal with directors f*cking with the perfection that is Bond. I understand wanting to balance the cheese of the film with a little class (Casino Royal did this perfectly) but at a certain point (Quantum of Solace aka, “the Bond Identity”) it stops being fun, which is the whole reason for Bond isn’t it?
Always sexy, never busted. Emphasis on sexy. And always.
Eeeek! He looks more and more like Salma Hayek’s hubby every day….the hot is gone.
I’ve never really liked him as Bond he plays it too sulky and charmless. Bond and Oscars? Mendes is so up himself, if he wants to do a serious, angsty spy movie go find a John Le Carre script and leave Bond out of it.
I don!t know why they are bothering to remake 3 perfectly good Swedish movies. The trailer on the Craig version looks just like the original Swedish version. In the original version, I even thought the actor looked just like Daniel Craig – should have just given a wide release to the Swedish version. The beard is the same now as in the Dragon movie – just look at the trailer.
Never thought he was hot, never liked his pissy expression. Also, he cheated on his girlfriend many times, so why no endless hate and snark? Double standards, as always.
He looks pale and anemic to me. And hes got dumbo ears. I’ll pass.
@Bernice: it’s a David Fincher version!!! i guess it will be a more well-made movie(and yes,the US trailer looks alike a “greatest hits” of the swedden movie)
@Hammer:he didn’t cheat his ex-girlfriend,he fell in love with her co-star and now they’re married
i only find him hot as 007. he sounds like such a jerk in interviews (pls contrast with the loveliness of your one and only Fassbender. also totally ok with ginger bond) it really kills off charisma.
i love the bond movies and this one sounds somewhat worrying, yeah. quantum of solace was pretty bad too so they need a good one.
Daniel is a great actor..watch “The Mother” and you will understand.
Carrie: Please, I’m not talking about the Rachel romanticism, although that qualifies too. I’m talking about over the years with other women. Break out the defogger.
I’m with Mika(?). Bond being Bond is what makes the franchise so good. IMO there’s no such thing an intimate Bond film.
I loved what they did with Casino Royale but they went too far with Quantum of Solace. If the pendulum continues to swing that way they’ll ruin it. Back it up a bit.
I saw Craig on Broadway (with Hugh Jackman – squeal!) and after the show I thought he would have left way before Jackman but for a guy who gives great bitchface he really gave back to the fans. Stayed for ages signing and posing for photos.
He’s really hot but he’s one of those people that’s better in motion. Remember all those people moaning and crying when they released his pic as the new Bond? And then they saw the movie and – presto!
That said, I just can’t with that outfit. Maybe he’s in such a biscuit haze he can’t see properly.
Thank goodness they have stopped using the awful cover of “Immigrant Song” for the trailer….
Him and Sienna Miller!!!! Anyone remember that! He’s a Douche….Sats is better off. WARNING…Rachel watch out!!!
I think he’s a fine actor, and growing up on the Bond series, he’s done a fantastic job. And this is coming from a fierce dark haired Bond fan.
Loving Craig’s bitchface. I.LOVE.IT. And goodness gracious, the cast in the upcoming GWTDT movie gave me chills!! I am looking forward to this movie.
Everytime when I read that Sats Mitchell is better off. I think the people are delusional because she has no career and no money anymore.
Both are seperated since one and a half year and people still cry over it. Pathetic.
Pretty nice post. I simply stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say that I have really enjoyed browsing your weblog posts. After all I will be subscribing for your feed and I am hoping you write again very soon!
