Bond’s nod, wink not easy for me, says Daniel Craig

Oct 10, 2012

Los Angeles: Actor Daniel Craig says enacting the signature Bond nod and wink in the 007 movies is tough for him.

Craig, 44, plays the role of secret agent James Bond in the new 007 film Skyfall and says the action of nodding and winking simultaneously does not come naturally to him.

“The thing is, the nod and the wink in Bond didn’t come naturally to me,” the sun.co.uk quoted him as saying.

“I understand it, but I never wanted to f*** up a situation by winking at the camera at the wrong moment because it takes the drama out of the situation. However, that wink to the camera can be such a great release of pressure sometimes,” he added.

The actor first played James Bond role in 2006 with Casino Royale followed by Quantum Of Solace in 2008. He will next be seen playing the secret agent for the third time in Skyfall, slated to release on 26 October.
