James Bond actor Daniel Craig is terrified of heights. The 38-year-old actor - who plays the suave spy in this year's 007 action "Casino Royale" - confessed his fear when he had to shoot a scene on top of a 200ft crane.

He revealed, "It was borderline fun and fear. But there was no time for myfear of heights. You just have to rush up and do it."

The British actor also revealed how shooting a fight scene on a high flightof stairs had previously triggered his phobia.

He was quoted in Britain's Daily Star newspaper as saying, "That sequencewas particularly difficult. But I have definitely put some demons to bed."A fear of heights is the latest in a string of problems Craig has experienced while shooting the new Bond movie.

While shooting the action-packed "Casino Royale" he admitted he hatesguns and drinking martinis, gets seasick and suffers from prickly heat. He also annoyed the 007 producers by complaining the expensive Aston Martinhe drove in the film was not an automatic.

He reportedly complained, "I don't do gears."

it is ok to be scared of hieghts. I am terrified to even get on a roller-coaster, because my phobia is so terrifying. I wish I knew how to get over it like you did.
