Daniel Craig wants the next James Bond to be black.

The actor - who has played the British spy in two installments of the franchise - claims Barack Obama becoming the first African-American President of the United States has paved the way for a black Bond.

Daniel Craig's mother didn't want him to be an actor.

The 40-year-old star - who reprises his role as British spy James Bond for a second time in new movie "Quantum of Solace" - was advised by Carol not to give up studying for his A-levels in order to go to drama school when he was 16 because she was afraid he would not be successful.

Daniel Craig finds playing James Bond "hilarious." The 40-year-old actor loves portraying the British secret agent as he really identifies with the character, especially when Bond gets himself into difficult situations.

Speaking at the royal world premiere - which was attended by Princes William and Harry - of new movie "Quantum of Solace" in London Wednesday night, Daniel told BANG Showbiz: "I find it very easy playing Bond. I think he's hilarious. He gets himself into some extraordinarily funny situations."
