"OH JAMES, YOU'RE SO MONEY..."

The WENN section of IMDb.com reports that the new James Bond alias Daniel Craig has had enough of millions of women lusting after him in swimming trunks:

"The actor is keen for the next Bond film to focus on his acting talent, rather than his appearance, according to a British newspaper. A source tells the Daily Express, 'Daniel was a little uncomfortable at the amount of nudity he had to do. He appreciated that a lot of it was to win over the female fans but it's not something he wants to make a habit of, no matter how good he looks in his trunks.'"

Well, who can blame him? You can't be both the ultimate sex symbol and a serious actor. That's why Sean Connery called it quits, and left the 007 series (at least temporarily) just after five Bond movies.

Another interesting piece of new concerns one possible candidate for the next James Bond villain in "Bond 22" (2008). Goran Visnjic, the lead male doctor in the "ER" television series might be a serious contender.

Before Daniel Craig was chosen, the Croatian born Visnjic screen-tested for the Bond producers, and was considered even a strong candidate for 007 himself, but deemed too young - and maybe too foreign. The fact that Mr. Visnjic's "ER" contract has reportedly also run out, he's looking for a new job... maybe as the lover of Vesper Lynd we heard of at the end of "Casino Royale", but whom we never saw.
