How Daniel Craig shut down a reporter's ageist remark about Monica Bellucci

The character of James Bond has always been a hit with the ladies, but in the upcoming Bond film Spectre 47-year old actor Daniel Craig will be seen pursuing 51-year old Italian actress Monica Bellucci, who is four years older than Craig. However, this age-difference is seems to be a concern to some.

He didn’t hesitate to call out the interviewer on his ageist remark, in an interview with Red Bulletin magazine. “I think you mean the charms of a woman his own age,” Craig replied. “We’re talking about Monica Bellucci, for heaven’s sake. When someone like that wants to be a Bond girl, you just count yourself lucky!” Age-difference has never seemed to be a matter of concern in any previous Bond film, such as Skyfall, in which 47-year old Craig pursues Bérénice Marlohe who is 11 years younger to him. In Die Another Day, 48-year old Pierce Brosnan romanced a 21-year old Rosamund Pike. The bad news is that this may just be Craig’s last bond film. In the interview he mentioned how he needs to stop working, relax and get back to normal life. Craig was earlier reported saying that he’s fine even if Kanye West play’s James Bond and that he would rather cut his wrists than do another Bond movie.
