007 DAN’S MAKING A TONE CALL

★

DANIEL Craig looks hunkier than ever in the run-up to his final appearance as James Bond.

But as he showed off his buff body in GQ magazine, he also revealed his struggle with anxiety in the 007 role. He said: “Trying to inhabit a cipher, in a plot-less blockbuster, with the world’s eyes upon you, is like living out a very particular anxiety dream.

“I have suffered from it in the past. I have suffered because it’s been like, ‘I can’t cope. I can’t deal with this’.”

Daniel also said that No Time To

Die, which will hit cinemas in November after coronavirus fears put the launch back by seven months, will have a real-life background.

He said: “It’s always there, whether it’s Trump, or whether it’s Brexit, or whether it’s Russian influence on elections or whatever.”

Daniel, 52, stars in the April issue of British GQ in a Global GQ James Bond Exclusive.
