Craig: "I did not like Connery or Brosnan"

From Entertainment Weekly

This Week's Cover: When Bond Met Indy

How do you interview tough guys like Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig? Carefully, very carefully. It also helps if you bring their Cowboys & Aliens director Jon Favreau in on the conversation. Last week, the three men sat down with EW at a ranch in Montana to discuss their upcoming genre-mashing sci-fi-western about extraterrestrials invading New Mexico in the 1870s. “A journey of redemption,” Craig calls the film, which is a lot more serious than its title suggests (it was produced by an all-star team of heavyweights, including Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard, and Brian Grazer).

Beyond space invaders, the three amigos talk about everything from wearing chaps, to getting older, to their famous franchises. Ford describes how Tom Selleck almost got cast as Indiana Jones, and later reveals, “I thought Han Solo should have died at the end of the last Star Wars movie. Just because it seemed right for that character.” Craig, for his part, talks about former 007s (“I never liked Sean Connery or Pierce Brosnan much,” he muttered, almost under his breath) and his role in the upcoming Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. He also expresses feelings about registering for wedding gifts. (Hint: he’s not a fan).
Bring back Bond!

He never liked Sean? what planet does he live on. The arrogance of the man knows no Bounds. He obviously thinks he's the Best there's ever Been. :evil:

I doubt he was serious, especially after praising Connery on many previous times. And he hung out on a few occasions with Brosnan, one of them when Brosnan encouraged Craig to go for the Bond role. It sounds more like a sarcastic remark but EW doesn't really put it in context.

Bonehead!
It is a hole he didn't need to dig for himself in any case.

Can't wait to here him on Amy Winehouse, He really can't tell a joke, can he!.
For an actor he really does seem very awkward in interviews, wooden and uncomfortable. Which I find strange given that he's gone down the route of the big Bucks. If he'd wanted to do "Proper " acting and not get interviewed he could of Stayed doing Theater, working on his Craft. ( a small boat he's been building for years, named after his one true love, You can see where he's scrapped a name off and wrote Rachel in ) :lol:

What the hell!
Maybe it is a joke, it isn't one here. I do not believe this is beyond cirag because he said early on he did not like bond and wanted to change it.

The Austin Powers stuff is so apropos..especially given that that's the direction the franchise seems intent on going. :mrgreen:
