I swear to God I did not have this planned. But it seems the new Bond has an even more debilitating problem than not knowing his way around a martini, getting his butt kicked on the set, and not being able to drive Bond's Aston Martin... He's afraid of guns:
Last year, Craig admitted he is struggling to overcome his biggest fear to play Bond - he's terrified of guns.
The star will have to handle weapons in the film but said he was left petrified after seeing a real life bullet wound.
He said at the time: "I hate handguns. They are used to shoot people and as long as they are around, people will shoot each other. I've seen a bullet wound and it was a mess."
Best not let him see this:
James Frickin' Bond, people. This is unbelievable.

No screaming shit, Sherlock. Shut up and act.
Posted by: EveningStar at February 25, 2006 01:38 PMMaybe the Bond producers should hire the prop guy from "The Crow". See how much "mr. sensitive-no-guns-and-no-freakin'-teeth-too" likes guns after THAT.
