Daniel Craig's Christian name has more letters than his surname, a characteristic shared only by Timothy Dalton. And since Rolling Stone magazine declared that Timothy Dalton was genetically engineered to play Bond, Daniel Craig must have been born to be Bond!

Daniel Craig is the first and only actor since Sean Connery to be in his 30s, and since everybody and their mother knows Connery was the best Bond, and since the literary Bond was also in his 30s, and since Craig is the only Bond to be in his late 30s, let alone 38, the exact same age deduced to be that of the literary Bond, a claim that not even Connery could honestly make, not only did author Ian Fleming clearly intend for Connery to play Bond, but for Craig to star in a post-Cold War remake of Casino Royale, therefore Craig must have been born to be Bond!

In 2001, Daniel Craig played Guy Crouchback in Sword Of Honour. In 1967, Edward Woodward played Guy Crouchback in ‘Sword Of Honour’ also starring James Villiers who played Bill Tanner in For Your Eyes Only. Woodward’s Next Project was in ‘The Saint’ with Roger Moore and Woodward is currently working on Hot Fuzz (it’s a movie) with Timothy Dalton.

The original James Bond that Ian Fleming took wrote a book on Birds of the West Indies. Many of Daniel Craig’s films are considered ‘indies’ and have birds from the west such as Jennifer Jason Leigh and Gwyneth Paltrow (both from California). BtPB.

In 1959 Sean Connery was in the film Another Time, Another Place. Daniel Craig was in another time, another place. BtPB.

Daniel Craig was a janitor at the MI6 headquarters prior to becoming an actor.
When he was a child he once dressed as a RN Commander for Halloween.
He was irrefutably born to play Bond!

Daniel Craig said in an interview in December that is favourite moment in a Bond movie was when Roger Moore dressed up as a gorilla in Octopussy. It stuck with him, until it became time for his interview for the role of 007.

He talked about monkeys for the entire interview, saying "There should be more monkeys in Bond". Everyone laughed at him and he got the job! Born to play Bond!!!

Also, Daniel Craig's Mum once watched a Bond film.

Also, Daniel Craig once looked at a magazine and saw an article about quiche. Bond can make quiche!!!!!!!!!!!!!

True story about Brandon Routh and how he became Superman: He met director Bryan Singer in a coffee house and accidentally spilled coffee all over the table. Singer said he was great for Clark Kent!

On that note, when Craig went to meet Bond producers the waiter spilled coffee on the table. Craig proceeded to kill the man...BORN TO BE BOND!

I knew it!! Good work JimmyBond!

I heard that he also went in the toilet there, and walked in on someone who had forgotten to lock the cubicle door.

Craig said "Sorry, forgot to knock.."

Craig is six foot three, he can bench press triple his weight, his breath smells like freshly-mown bluegrass, his neck smells like the sweat of Christ mixed with the barest hint of musk, he took firsts in the Kama Sutra and Judo at Oxford, he abhors tea, his I.Q. has been estimated at 199, he once out-manuevered Beckham on the pitch to score left-footed from 30 yards out, he can hear a piece of confetti fall on felt from 100 yards...........

Daniel Craig appeared in Layer Cake where he observed his partner beat someone up to a Duran Duran tune. Duran Duran did the theme for View to a Kill, hence he was born to play Bond.

Pierce is a fantastic edition to the franchise, he braught bond into the 90s and pushed the franchise on with 4 sucessfully grossing movies he was a brilliant bond and left at just the right time IMO. Craig hopefully will bring 007 into the 21st century with a Bang and yes like pierce he was born to play Bond :)

Daniel Craig spelled backwards is GIARC LEINAD. James Bond spelled backwards is DNOB SEMAJ. Neither make any sense whatsoever.
