Daniel Craig cursed so much on the set of his latest movie he had to pay a "small fortune" into a swear box.

The 39-year-old actor had to pay $2 every time he swore while shooting "The Golden Compass" and his 13-year-old co-star Dakota Blue Richards made sure everybody adhered to the rules.

He said, "It was worth every penny. It cost me a lot of money but it was good. I had to pay a small fortune. It became a joke after a while - sometimes Dakota would be on set and you wouldn't know it and you would hear 'It's another [$2].' "

Daniel - who plays hero adventurer Lord Asriel in the movie based on Philip Pullman's hit book "Northern Lights" - insisted working with a young star was an enjoyable experience.

He added to Scotland's Daily Record newspaper, "I get big kick out of working with children because you've got to keep them enthused and it's a long day. You have to keep them amused and their energy levels go down but Dakota learned quickly and I teased her a lot to get her going, so we could bounce off each other."

The British star - who was reunited with his "Casino Royale" co-star Eva Green for the film, which also stars Nicole Kidman - also joked he had it written into his contract that Eva must be in all his movies.

He quipped, "Eva is going to be in every movie I make from now on. It's contractual."
