So how is fatherhood, 007? Need a quantum of solace?
IT LOOKS as if 007 has finally met his match – in the form of a tiny six-week-old baby.
Daniel Craig’s new daughter has succeeded where countless Bond villains have failed, leaving the star distinctly shaken AND stirred.
The actor was spotted at New York’s JFK airport last week lovingly cradling her to his chest. But if his exhausted stare is anything to go by, being a doting dad is proving to be even tougher than saving the world from Spectre.
Wearing a flat cap and turned-up jeans, the 50-year-old battled through security with his baby girl, looking much more haggard than his usual suave secret agent image. The pictures come after Mail on Sunday columnist Piers Morgan sparked controversy when he suggested that Craig had become ‘emasculated’ after he was pictured carrying his daughter – whose name has not yet been publicly revealed – in a papoose. ‘Oh 007.. not you as well?!!!,’ he tweeted.
Craig, who will star in the 25th Bond film next year in what will be his fifth and reportedly last time in the role, became a father for the second time when his wife of seven years, the actress Rachel Weisz, gave birth last month.
He already has a 26-year-old daughter, Ella, from his first marriage to actress Fiona Loudon, while Weisz also has son Henry, 11, from her relationship with Hollywood film director Darren Aronofsky, whose credits include Black Swan and The Wrestler.
At 48, Weisz joins the likes of Halle Berry, 46, and Janet Jackson, 50, in having a baby later in life.
Announcing her pregnancy in April, the actress said: ‘Daniel and I are so happy. We’re going to have a little human. We can’t wait to meet him or her. It’s all such a mystery.’
