Daniel Craig Is The 'Proper Actor' For James Bond, Says Clive Owen
One name that was constantly thrown around in the many months leading up the unveiling of the new James Bond for Casino Royale was Clive Owen.
Today, the BBC News reports that the past rumoured actor for the role has put his support behind Daniel Craig for the 007 role, saying he is the ‘proper actor’ for the job.
‘He is not shallow or posing, they have cast a really serious actor. I think when Craig first took the part he got a pretty rough ride, which to a certain extent is inevitable because there are so many different people who have so many different ideas about something like that… you are never going to please everybody.’
The exciting thing about this entire process, Owen said, was the fact that Craig is the proper actor for the Bond role. ‘He is not shallow or posing, they have cast a really serious actor and I think that when the film comes out everyone will see what a great choice he was.’
