Daniel Craig has further infuriated James Bond fans by revealing he hasn't been to the cinema to see a 007 film since 1973.

The British actor makes his debut as the suave spy in upcoming movie 'Casino Royale' but has been the target of a hate campaign started by some Bond fans who are unhappy he has been cast in the famous part.

Any actor would probably do anything to be given the chance of playing James Bond, but for Daniel Craig it wasn't that easy.

The new Bond actor almost turned down the chance of a lifetime to play the British spy because he didn't want to be typecast.

Cue 007 background music: The name is Craig... Daniel Craig, so move out of the way, Brosnan.

The new British star of the action-packed movie has been hailed as the best James Bond ever the new film's producers who say "he completely inhabits the character."

Nobody likes to be replaced, but Pierce Brosnan took it in stride. When the sexy actor discovered he had been cut from his reoccurring role as James Bond and replaced by Daniel Craig, he offered the new Bond actor some advice and told him to "go for it."

Craig, who has his first outing as the super spy in "Casino Royale" next month, unknowingly broke the news to Brosnan at an awards ceremony.

Prince William's Cupid arrow hit the right mark when it struck his cousin and one of his college peers and linked them together. The young royal became a great matchmaker when he introduced Princess Beatrice to her new millionaire boyfriend and set them on a new, blossoming romance.

The 24-year-old prince met David Clarke, 24, when he was at St Andrews University in Scotland, and decided he was perfect for his 18-year-old cousin.
