Craig on 007’s misogyny, his own training, other topics

Daniel Craig and Christoph Waltz at Dec. 4 media event.

Daniel Craig did AN INTERVIEW with a website called The Red Bulletin. It’s being cited by other media outlets (including The Hollywood Reporter and Vanity Fair) because of his comments on James Bond’s misogyny, but it actually covers a range of other subjects also.

A quick look:

On the character of 007: “But let’s not forget that he’s actually a misogynist…(W)e’ve surrounded him with very strong women who have no problem putting him in his place.”

On Bond’s appeal: “I guess that one of the biggest reasons why the character has endured for so long is because he represents the eternal struggle between good and evil.”

Workout and diet related to filming:: “Then, three months before we began filming, I started going to the gym five or six days a week. While we’re filming, I stick to a diet—it’s all about preventative measures, so that I don’t get ill or injured.” Referring to a knee injury he suffered during SPECTRE filming, he added, “But as you’ve seen, of course, something unpredictable can happen anyway. There’s no way around that.”

Craig also said, “This time, I deliberately took time off to get involved in the script.” There were no additional details in the interview about that. To read the entire interview, CLICK HERE.
