Daniel Craig: Not the best-looking actor

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14626190/

Daniel Craig says he knows he’s not the best-looking actor who’s ever played James Bond. “Maybe I’m not the prettiest Bond that’s ever been, and maybe I’m not the suavest,” the star of the upcoming “Casino Royale” tells Parade magazine. “All I can say is there are millions of fans, and I don’t want to let them down. I’ve worked my butt off for this movie. I’m not going to foul it up.” . . .

Good for him -- he has worked his butt off and I think people should respect that. Thanks for the article.

But I'd truly respect Craig if he'd said that he realises that _ with the possible exception of Woody Allen _ he's the worst looking actor to play James Bond. Of course, he's a decent actor, and not ugly. But that face may face tough going in a part that has valued eye candy above all (which explains that Lazenby business).

What is he talking about, he is gorgeous, 2nd good looking Bond after Dalton for me 🙂

God, he is ugly. I found his sophistication and suaveness felt out of place with his mug. He's a great actor, and played a great Bond, but his looks make his flirting a tad unbelievable.

Daniel Craig is not ugly at all. I think hes the best looking Bond by far and an A class actor who portayed his character better than I ever expected. He's a brave actor as well accepting a role where he has to give the *woof woof* to a 60 year old woman in The Mother

I wouldn't say he's ugly, but i don't think he's as good looking as some of the others... that said, to each their own and all that...

and regardless of his looks, i think he did a fine job...

Craig has a rugged look, no sissy.

Although I was not happy with craig being bond because he doesnt look the part and still think they should have ended the bond films after Moore retired,I will take craig any day of the year over Brosnan because unlike Brosnan,Craig can at least act.that was another thing I never liked about Brosnan was he was too much of a pretty boy where craig is rugged looking like Bond should be.

any excuse to take a dig at brosnan eh? 😐

Since when have a man's looks been so important anyway? I always thought it was personality and charisma that counted. Quite ridiculous really.

I thought he looked very cool, hard as James Bond was originally in the Fleming books. He's definitely not a pretty boy like Brosnan, but I should think he'd be able to pull with the best of them 😇

He's not ugly he just doesnt look the part of Bond.But like he said,at least unlike Brosnan,he can act with the best of them.

He was a beast, not a pretty boy.

The way Bond is meant to be.

Exactly. Bond is supposed to be attractive, not a pretty teenage Beverly Hills poster boy.

He has a hot body (although a bit overly-bulky) and interesting eyes...but the rest is a big turn-off for me.

I have tonnes of respect for Craig. He is incredibly sexy.

He wasn't too bulky...

edit.

I admit I had some doubts about Craig as Bond - until I saw the movie. Ditto to the comments above on his acting ability.
