Now on the CBn main page...
Forgive me if this has been posted... http://story.malaysiasun.com/index.php/ct/...id/295839/cs/1/ It mentions Craig not wanting to show as much skin and that he won't be as bulked as he was in CR. When reading about his Guiness-helped workout i hoped he would go easy this time with it and now it looks to be so! His bulked look was passable in CR but this looks to be going the right route in all ways.  'Any of the opposition around?'

That's all fine and good. His current physique would fit BOND 22 quite well. He hardly needs to be huge to play Bond.
That said, I don't ever want to see him scrawny, like he was in LAYER CAKE. That wouldn't work.  |

As long as he doesn't look like Connery in Diamonds Are Forever, I'm cool. I would say Never Say Never Again too but as far as I'm concerned, that film doesn't exist.

I really doubt that we'll notice any difference.
QUOTE(Harmsway @ 1 November 2007 - 22:52)  That said, I don't ever want to see him scrawny, like he was in LAYER CAKE. That wouldn't work. Scrawny in LAYER CAKE? I mean, I get where you're coming from (insofar as he definitely bulked up for CR), but many blokes would give anything to be that "scrawny". And there's a bit in "THE CAKE" when he takes his shirt off for his rendezvous with Sienna Miller and his muscles are bulging like those of Stallone circa ROCKY III - I imagine Craig must have done an extremely intense workout shortly before filming that scene. |

Same for me... He was really less bulky in Layer Cake than in CR, of course, but I don't think he can be qualified as scrawny in the former movie.
Anyway, I'm not sure we can give much faith to these rumors about more/ less nakedness in Bond 22... The Mercurius Affair: A James Bond novella - A tribute to Ian Fleming's creation

He certainly had defnition in Layer Cake, but I felt (when I first saw LC) that he needed to be a bit bigger for Bond (and he was), I always felt Brosnan was too scrawny for Bond. I don't think Craig was too big in CR for Bond, infact I don't think he was any bigger than Connery was in his earlier films, he was just more defined and that made him appear bigger.

As long as he doesn't get a 'middle-age spread' like myself, then he'll be OK.
I doubt if he could get flabby or scrawny. Unless of course he worked for Lidl.

Good for him. At least he can relax and eat a 'walnut whip' instead of getting his walnuts whipped.
Have I said that before?.

Oh, I don't mind seeing him less bulked up...
...but I do like seeing him shirtless.  Bond: "I didn't mean to get so close to you." Joyce: "But your penis thought otherwise?" The Circle Trilogy Part III - Method to Madness |
