Craig, 44, who has played the famous British spy in two previous films and is reprising the role in Skyfall, admits he could never do a Sir Roger Moore-style of Bond, who was famous for his comic timings.

“Sir Moore was about sending it up and that’s not me. I kind of have to act it. You know me well enough to know there’s a difference between Bond and me,” contactmusic.com quoted Craig as saying. “I know I’m not funny-funny. So I have to work at it to find these comic moments. But if there’s a good story, then I feel quite confident. I can wink and hopefully, the audience can go along with it,” he added.
