A few weeks ago, I had some early excerpts of Daniel Craig’s Rolling Stone cover interview. In my mind, Daniel seemed like an a—hole in the excerpts (big surprise, he’s a moody bitch), but many of you yelled at me for what you claimed was my unfair interpretation of his remarks. When asked about the possibility of doing more James Bond films (this was asked before he knew Skyfall was a massive hit), Daniel said: “I’ve been trying to get out of this from the very moment I got into it, but they won’t let me go, and I’ve agreed to do a couple more, but let’s see how this one does, because business is business and if the sh-t goes down, I’ve got a contract that somebody will happily wipe their ass with.” I still take that to mean that the moody curmudgeon is bitching about someone outright FORCING (!!) him to sign a lucrative contract for two more Bond films. But whatever.
Anyway, I kind of forgot about the Rolling Stone interview until now, when I recently chanced upon some additional excerpts. Daniel was really on fire during this piece – like, he was obscene and moody and neurotic and funny. Some highlights:
Craig on Skyfall: “It’s quite good. It’s got a lightness of touch and a wink to it, because, after all, this is a James Bond movie, for f-ck’s sake”
He tells a dirty joke (he’s kind of drunk at this point): “What’s the most disgusting thing you can think of?” He doesn’t pause. His Liverpudlian accent jumps right to the punch line. “Shoving five oysters up your grandmother’s c–t and sucking out six!”
Some “street urchins” referred to Bond films as “white man p0rn”: “I completely understand that. That’s where I fit into the pecking order. That’s my place. I’m that guy. I’m the guy who does the white-man p0rn.”
On whether he Googles himself: “I don’t — I mean, I really try not to. I really truly try. But then I can’t help myself and I disappear up my own ass and that starts a whole cycle where I gotta look. I mean, I could probably put a lock on the computer, but, yeah, anyway, it’s a sickness. But that’s it. Except for maybe I’ll look up some p0rn occasionally. Hey, I’m only human.”
He’s jealous when people look at Rachel Weisz: “I know I play a tough guy, but that’s genuinely, genuinely not me. I’ve always been very good at avoiding fights, having worked in pubs and seen pools of blood everywhere. Actually, the only thing to ever get me in trouble would be someone looking at my girl the wrong way. That always got me going. I still get jealous now, but I don’t get jealous the way I used to. I was in a bar in France once and this guy pinched my girl’s ass, and I flew across the room, kind of lifted the guy up. These days I’m much more happy to have a quiet word with somebody.”
Drinking: “I drink wine. I don’t drink spirits. Well, I do, occasionally, so that’s a lie. But I try not to, because they f–k with me. Especially scotch. It sends me crazy.”
His adolescence: “When puberty hit, my head exploded. You want this nice, lovely image of me having my first kiss with hearts sparkling in the background? All I wanted to do was get in the girls’ knickers. I’ve been kissing girls, like stolen kisses in playgrounds, for as long as I can remember.”
I love the description of Bond films as “white man p0rn”. Most apt description ever. And that dirty joke is f—king disgusting. I mean, I love a good dirty joke but even I blanched a little. Oh, and he’s jealous about people looking at his girl and he “occasionally” looks at p0rn online. I kind of have to give him a slow-clap for admitting that stuff in a Rolling Stone interview. Most dudes wouldn’t admit it.
Rolling Stone also teases some additional stuff, but I haven’t been able to find the quotes online. If anyone has the magazine (or you subscribe to RS online), I would love to hear Daniel’s quotes about his “trips to the shrink” and anything involving his stories about “finger-banging” girls. You can email me (kaiser@celebitchy.com) or tweet me if you have those quotes!

The sex must be hot!! If only there were a Weisz-Craig Sex tape!!!
*head explodes*
soooooo hot indeed!
I don’t know which one would turn me on more, Rachel or Daniel. Le Sight. He’s totally unattractive but his Englishy badassness speaks to my heart.
I know! Rachel is such a lucky lady;)
gah, he’s fantastic.. have had so many dirty dreams about him..
LMAO, not what I was thinking of when I read the words ‘white man porn’ but quite right.
Yeah I suppose JB is white man porn, but face it…the action appeals to everyone who’s into that sort of thing. White or not, man or not.
I hope you’ve seen him in Layer Cake too. Amazing.
I watched that film last night! It’s still one of my favourites. The soundtrack is brilliant too, I could happily put that music on in the background wherever I go. Apparently Layer Cake was what tipped him for the Bond role.
Absolutely. Do you remember that scene where he’s testing the gun in Gene’s apartment and plays with it? I always thought of that as the James Bond scene. That and the hotel scene where he’s posing on the bed with his shirt off waiting for Sienna Miller to change.
At least he’s honest.
I still don’t understand what women see in him. Just don’t see it

+1
me neither -_-
+1
I don’t find him even remotely appealing. He looks like a potato.
A hot potato;)
He’s intelligent and bitchy. He’s got jolie-laid looks, a blue collar attitude to his work and, like Ray Liotta, just screams filthy, dirty anger bang sex where you’re the good kind of sore for days afterwards.
Plus the guy doesn’t use all that as a crutch.
+1000 exactly.
holy hell, i wanted to pull my own hair after reading that.
I KNOW! I don’t get it either… The combo of big dumbo ears, bulbous nose, soft jowliness, beady eyes… it makes me think of a cleaned up circus clown. I hear the honk of a horn when I attempt to image his Oh Face.
To each his own I guess! He’s been my #1 hottie since Casino Royale, no apologies 🙂
My husband looks like him, but without the ears, so he does it for me. It’s pretty awesome. However, he’s the kindest, sweetest, smartest man alive, so I get to be married to Bond without actually having to put up with some of Craig’s BS. That oyster joke made me sick, and I have an extremely high tolerance for dirty humor.
Your husband may say such a dirty joke at the bar/pub/club. From my personal experience, a good husband is apt to have TWO faces….
I’m starting to develop a crush on this guy.
I don’t get the appeal of this guy, don’t find him interesting as an actor, he is very one dimensional and wooden. The only interesting thing in Skyfall is Javier Bardem.
omg he could do white man p0rn on my face. *cough, did i say that out loud?*
he should have a guy with a guitar and a wah-wah pedal walk behind him.
sex-cicle: thy name is daniel craig
Hilarious!
Ive never heard as offensive a ‘joke’ as the one he tells about a grandmother. In my own opinion, it sounds very mysogonistic. This guy is rumoured to be gay. I believe it.
Aren’t they all though.
You don’t know the British at all. He’s from Liverpool. It’s not Idaho. By the way, he doesn’t care if you don’t like it. Also, I find it funny the way none of the north Americans, including kaiser, understand when he’s joking. Like someone needs to write LOL or you won’t get the joke. Maybe you guys need a laugh track for your movies too.
Im an American and I have worked at a British flight school so I have been around a lot of Brits. This has absolutely nothing to do with “british humour”. It has to do with 13 yr old crudeness. The joke is not funny, and Im sorry I wouldnt have laughed…even if there was a LOL at the end of it. Imagine that!
That joke was doing the rounds 20 years ago, it was gross then and its gross now but who cares, I admire anyone who just says what they want without worrying about what the masses think. He wont get an Oscar but I think he would just laugh if he did.
I get offended pretty easily, and tend to dislike most “common” types of humor the majority of the time (including much of south park, family guy, etc) and I thought the joke was very funny and not offensive at all because it was quite obviously a completely ridiculous joke. The fact that he pulled it out so quickly was admirable. I’m picturing it this way if I’d been there: he pulls it out that quickly, my jaw drops, he stands up and cool-as-a-cucumber walks off for another drink, and after a few moments of shock I laugh until I cry.
But, to each their own.
That photo on the front cover is AWFUL. It’s like a reflection in the back of a teaspoon.
Yes! He has pretty eyes but his ears are so damned goofy; looks like he’s wearing earmuffs or a headset.
I thought the “white man pron” movie he referred to was “Love is the Devil”. Haha, silly me.
It was fine until I read the dirty joke bit. Eurgh. I love this guy but it ruins it when he thinks things like that are funny.
+1
That is Shia Ladouche level of joking. He is too old for that.
Well hey, the interviewer did ask him what was the most disgusting thing he could think of. I’d say that qualifies. 😀
That’s not what happened. I read the actual issue and ‘What is the most disgusting thing you can think of?’ was Daniel’s set-up for the joke, with the oyster thing as the punchline. These highlights don’t really do the douchiness of the interview justice.
I always found him hot but after reading this I want to do incredibly dirty things to him.
I have always liked this guy. He rarely gives an interview which makes him that much more special.
Imagine this guy being your husband and getting jealous cause some guy eyeballed you the “wrong” way. HOT.
This, exactly.
That “joke” was gross. He has this intensity about him & this innate badassery. He’s hot
love him for this interview!!!! OMG. love the honesty!
Ok, so this man did nothing for me before I read this thread and now…I don’t feel any different. So he is a crude, rude, drunk…they are a dime a dozen around the world. How about a thread of a “real man”. I have faith in the CB staff they can find one out there for us. Sexy, smart, funny, sober…
Oh stop it, prudes. He was asked for the “most disgusting thing” he could think of! He agrees with you — it’s gross. But hilarious. Then again I love Brit humor. And Daniel Craig.
Oh I am about as far away from prude as you can get…HOWEVER the “c” word is beyond “disgusting” no matter whose mouth it comes out of so he doesn’t get a pass from me because of being a drunk or drunk brit humor or any excuse you want to make for him. I have lots of brit friends who are far more hilarious then this asswipe who love to tell dirty jokes and are snarky as only the brits can be at times WITHOUT sounding like a total toolbag. Cheers!
….Um…..that joke had NOTHING to do with “Brit Humor”. Nothing. If you want Brit Humor watch Fawlty Towers or Black Adder. Those shows are smart, quick, dry and intelligent. as far as his “joke”…..I cant even imagine the type of mentality that would even imagine something like this or who would even repeat it. Unbelieveable. I love risque humor but this is not only unintelligent its simply UN funny. Its more of a “WAH??” and residule creep factor. Im disappointed because SKYFALL was orgasmic. Truly.
This interview is proof positive that all actors should simply act and off camera keep their mouths shut. Act please and that is all.
I can call the Ricky Gervais’s joke to mind — Extras, The Office
Or Little Britain (Matt Lucas, David Williams).
Can’t.Stop.Laughing. Seriously, I’m going hahahahaha….what an ass! Love him.
He’s the opposite of Ben Affleck.I love him.
He’s amazing. I love his humor and his comments about being forced to do more Bond films is just that humor. Did any one see him on The Graham Norton show?
I love him. He is funny. That joke is beyond disgusting but I like that he told it to the Rolling Stones reporter. Naughty boy! He is honest and grumpy. I would be grumpy too I think with everyone up in my face (and my wife’s) all the time. Yeah, he does it for me.
Good lord – he was ASKED what was the most disgusting joke he’s heard and he told the interviewer. It’s not as if the interviewer asked him “what’s the best or funniest joke you’ve ever heard?” and he replied with this one – he replied within the context of the question!
As much as he might resemble a primate, he has sexiness ON LOCK. You dont have to be gorgeous to be sexy. Sexiness is something conveyed through body language, presence, etc. Now if you happen to be incredibly attractive, that’s just a bonus.
Well said!
I don’t even get the joke 🙁
What does it mean?
that you are sucking out the vagina of your grandmother
Dear lord, really?
Hear, hear!
Why does he look so old? Isn’t he in his forties?
More Daniel Craig please!
And he responded honestly to what he was asked. You don’t have to like it, but I give him props for not sounding like every other polished Hollywood whatever. Makes a more interesting read when you dont give the expected soundbite.
He has the kindest eyes. I will allow myself to have a crush on him because he is British. I do not want to deal with the crazies that Hollywierd creates.
Fascinating
After seeing Daniel Craig in the dragon tattoo movie, I was SOLD. He is a handsome, sexy man. And fyi, Brits throw around the “c” word much more liberally in their jokes than we do. It’s part of the culture, right up there with “bloody hell” and “bollocks” in terms of language choice. Just like how we use “douche” and “douchenozzle” and all that.
The “joke” was gross. But Id love to go have drinks with this sexy man. He’s rough around the edges….and doesn’t give a lick.
I’m sure he is hottttt in bed.
And regardless, the man looks damn fine in a suit and in jeans..or in no clothes. He’s got a swagger that can’t be faked.
I thought the interview was funny. I don’t need my celebrities to be warm and cuddly. I prefer them honest and unpretentious. He does nicely.
Plus, he recently visited the British troops in Afganistan. I thought that was awesome of him,
brwahahaha the joke! Gross! hehe
I like crude humour. And he’s certainly not a misogynistic. Read some of his other interviews. He always like a quite clever down to earth guy who doesn’t give a shit about his reputation. And yes i think his flinty mug is attractive.
Yah, I don’t get grossed out to easily but that dirty joke made me nearly want to vomit. WOW! And I like sick humor…SMH. I really like Daniel Craig as Bond. I suppose because he is grittier than past actors who played Bond.
He’s a man’s man…not a pretty-boy. NO pretension — and that is SO damn sexy!!! (I’m a Ryan Gosling girl, but if I was with him, I’d be afraid every girl would snatch him up). Daniel just has that je ne sais quoi that I, as a woman, would throw all my rules out of the window for him! And his eyes are GLOWING.
He doesn’t do anything for me when he’s James Bond. I don’t like his interviews (how they read, etc). I am over the pouty promotional pictures of him, which I think don’t even show the real chemistry, it’s all manufactured, which is why he kind of irks me in the official promos.
Funnily enough, I liked him more in the UK comedy sketches for Comedy Relief:

He only tells the truth. Having signed a contract for two more Bonds doesn’t mean the contract is more worth than toilet paper if the next Bond flopps at the box office. He has said in the past that a contract in this business is not worth the paper it is written on. He’s just real here, nothing else.
BTW I think he’s sex on legs.
Daniel Craig is so sexy. That joke was pretty gross though in all fairness the interviewer probably just asked him what is the most disgusting joke he ever heard and he recited the joke.
He’s not my type aesthetically, but his wife is. She’s been my girl crush for a long time now. But I like him. He seems the most like his true self out of the many many actors in HW. I respect that. He also seems like someone you could have a guiness with and would have a really great time.
boring. looks like a pencil dick and sounds like one too.
He was in the Tomb Raider and he looked FUNNY not Bond-esque hot!
