Daniel Craig says it's getting "harder and harder"
to do nude scenes in James Bond movies. The 44-year-old actor - who is returning for his third
film as the iconic British spy in Skyfall- admits he has
"fun" taking his clothes off while portraying the secret agent and
hopes it adds some "sexiness" to the 007 film franchise.
He said: "I don't actually read those bits. I don't care how many times I have to do it. It's going to be harder and harder the older I get. It's just fun. There's enough sexiness in the movie with the girls - and hopefully me as well - but it's a little bit of a gag now."

Superb performance
Daniel stars opposite Javier Bardem in Skyfall and while he admits
there was no free time to spend with the 43-year-old star - who portrays latest
Bond villain Raoul Silva - during filming, he is keen to watch a game of rugby
with the No Country For Old Men actor when they get a chance. He
explained: "He played rugby for Spain, so he's serious. It's funny, we
never went together, but he went to the 6 Nations and I went to the 6 Nations
when they were on. I got him tickets. He got me tickets. I'd love to go to
watch a rugby game with him. "There's
just no time [to hang out], unfortunately. I'm on set every day. I wish we had
more time. But we have a long year ahead of us, so hopefully we'll see each
other in a more chilled state."
Daniel admits Javier has put in a "superb"
performance as Raoul thanks to his knowledge of how a successful Bond villain
should act. He added to ShortList magazine: "Well, Javier is
a brilliant actor, so that's taken care of. He knows what a Bond villain is and
he's given it everything he's got, which is a lot, let me tell you."
A London sale of
James Bond souvenirs to mark the secret agent's 50th silver-screen anniversary
has raised over $2.6m, Christie's auction house said on Wednesday. Buyers from
42 countries took part in the auction with all proceeds going to charity.
The auction took
place in two stages, firstly online from 28 September to 8 October, and
secondly during a party at Christie's auction house on Friday.
Notable guests
included actor Roger Moore, who played the famous agent on the big screen, and
Judi Dench, who appears in Skyfall, the saga's latest instalment which is
released on 24 October.
Many of the
objects on offer were supplied by Eon Productions, the British company that has
produced the Bond films.
Aston Martin
The highlight of
the collection was the Aston Martin DBS driven by Daniel Craig, the current
Bond, in the opening scene of Quantum of Solace (2008), during an Italian car
chase.
The car, estimated
pre-auction at between $160 000 and $240 000, finally went under the hammer for
$390 101.
The titanium Omega
watch worn by Craig in Skyfall sold for $250 000 while his Tom Ford tuxedo was
snapped up for $75 000.
A buyer also
shelled out $71 876 for the baby blue swimming trunks worn by Craig in Casino
Royale (2006).
In total, $2 615
000 was raised during both sales for various charities including UNICEF.
