New 007 Daniel Craig shocked producers of Casino Royale when he revealed that he cannot actually drive Bond’s trademark Aston Martin. Craig told Bond bosses that he is actually only qualified to drive an automatic transmission vehicle, which was a huge problem with driving the manual Aston Martin DB5. Filming had to be halted so that the actor could actually learn how to drive the fictional spy’s hi-tech car.
This is getting ridiculous. Our new James Bond can’t get even a d-list actress to pair up with him, gets his teeth knocked out, can’t drive a stick, and looks like his face was carved out of yogurt. The only way it could get worse is if he spent the entire movie in pink hot pants with the words “shaken, not stirred” on his ass and introduced himself as “agent double-o-pretty princess.”
Thanks to Jacqueline for the tip.
I LOVE A STICK SHIFT
You can handle it any way you want, control the power and timing, and be ‘at one’ with the machine.
And I like stick shift cars, too.
Aw, he’s a good guy. He’s got class and charisma, he’s just not as obvious as some of the other choices for Bond, and I think that will end up being a plus.
I mean, OK, Clive Owen can drive my hot pink Cadillac any day, but give Daniel a chance, and watch things he’s done besides friggin’ ‘Layer Cake’.
Then again, I wouldn’t mind being in the middle of a love-pile consisting of all the simmering sexies who are welcome to fill out an application to be in my personal man-harem, like Clive, Daniel, Ciaran Hinds, Jason Isaacs, Ralph Fiennes, Marton Csokas, Gabriel Byrne, Ray Stevenson, Sean Bean, Karl Urban,…ok, can’t write anymore, keyboard is wet.
Anyway, point is that I like the choice of Daniel Craig! I’d help him with a stick any day.
True story:
Brosnan ordered a brand new Porsche 911 in a manual transmission, and had just driven it to a gas station to fill up. People recognized him and he decided to show off, by launching his 911 with Bond-like skill. Only, he stalled it.
Looks like someone has been frying his face. James Bond is meant to be shaggable. If given the opportunity to have sex with this one, I’d rather masterbate.

yea. im over this bond movie thing. final nail in the coffin. maybe the producers of casino royale are blind, deaf and retarded; and this craig guy tricked them into hiring him. like in “Dumb and Dumber” where they sold that kid a bird with the head duct taped on. now that was a movie. i bet harry and lloyd can drive a stick.
i learned to drive stick in a day (albeit with stalling) but got over the humps of it (teehee) in about a week with a couple rides around town. so i’m sure this won’t hold up the filming for too long, but i hope they make him practice on a piece of crap first.
#25, are you crazy? you just suck at stick, like al reynolds, hence desiring a piece of crap automatic tranny over a NICE manual.
daniel craig’s family was probably rich, hence he probably had a chauffeur, and thus never had to learn to drive. my friend’s family hosts raquetball players every year (rich) and they never know how to drive.
Daniel Craig is gorgeous and entirely shaggable; manual car driving or not! I think what many people can’t come to terms with is that he has a very unique look and isn’t a clone of every other ‘pretty boy’ actor.
HAHAHHAHA !!! let’s see
- blonde
- 0 driving skills
yeah, this guy is definitly James Bond

lol very funny!
The problem is anyone can play Bond. You dont need to be a good actor you just have to be hot enough(or have that certain sexpot attitude) to make women cream with a look.
Bronson didnt do it for me, Clive Owen definately would have.
This guy looks like a muppet, but I’m willing to give him a chance. The Bond series couldnt possibly get any lamer than it already is.
To all those people who seem to have a problem with Craig Daniel’s looks. Can you please all post your photos now. So that the rest of us can sit in judgement. Then we could all write in and say stuff like: “You can’t say that you’re too ugly, you are not good looking enough to make a comment”.
Watch LAYER CAKE then comment.
Clive Owen is a shockingly bad actor and those teeth no way. What about a gay James Bond?
#62 what kind of idiot are you? First off, the guy you are defending is named Daniel Craig, not Craig Daniels you moron.
I love when people like you come to defend the celeb with “well, let’s see your pictures”. So funny. I think you fail to realize that no matter what any of the commenters look like, we are not being cast as Bond nor are we actors in Hollywood. This asswipe is and thus is open for criticism.
Watch Layer Cake? Why would I want to? I don’t need to see previous work to know that this guy does not fit the Bond mold. He looks like shit and has blonde hair to boot. Case closed. Not a good Bond choice.
he’s not able to drive a stick?!?!?! madaf* shi*
what kind of bond is he?!
YOU FUCKING BITCH !
Nothigns rong wih Daniel Craig okay ?
Go on google images and he dont look like no yogart to me !!
To be honest hu cares if he can only drive automatic at least he admited it instead of goin along with lieing !!
You need to cut him some fucking respect!!!
