Daniel Craig: I'd rather 'slash my wrists' than play James Bond again

October 09, 2015 04:22

After playing James Bond in the last four films of the successful franchise, including the forthcoming "Spectre," the British actor told Time Out London he's ready to put the role behind him.

Craig has implied as much in previous interviews. But this time, he left no doubt when asked, "Can you imagine doing another Bond movie?"

"Now? I'd rather break this glass and slash my wrists. No, not at the moment. Not at all. That's fine. I'm over it at the moment. We're done. All I want to do is move on."

It's hard to blame him. It's been nearly 10 years since he took over the role for 2006's "Casino Royale." In much of the interview with journalist Dave Calhoun, Craig addresses his growing fatigue at inhabiting a role he felt became increasingly stale with each installment.
