007 is not here to play games, people.
In the latest example of an awkward celebrity interview, Daniel Craig sits across from Sarah Powell, a reporter for ITV’s This Morning.
He’s there to promote the latest James Bond movie, Spectre, but he’s not there to act like any kind of trained monkey.
Powell learns this the hard way, asking Craig to do his famous "pout" from the James Bond series, only to initially be denied in a calm, kind manner…. and then later to be strongly denied, as the actor tells her in no uncertain terms:
"I think you need to move on."
She heeds this advice (or warning, really), but later asks whether Bond has gone “shy” because there’s no nudity in Spectre.
Will she never learn?!?
“He’s going shy now,” Craig quips in response to this question.
Powell wasn’t getting too personal with Craig, but she still should know better. Despite having a large penis, Craig is not one of the most jovial stars out there.
Check out the awkward exchange now and prepare for Spectre to come out on November 6. It will likely mark Craig’s final time in the iconic role of super spy James Bond.
