Craig dashed out of auto show he was paid $1m to attend.

Over the years have we come to expect certain behaviors from the sour face thespian we have all come to love so much. And Daniel Wroughton Craig does not like to disappoint :wink: , at the New York auto show where Craig was paid the princely sum of $1m to introduce the 2014 Rang Rover Sport, Craig left the event in record time without saying a word, all Rang Rover would say is they "wouldn't comment on their relationship with Craig" if his storming out is any indication it is a rocky relationship to say the least.

'James Bond' earns $1M for auto show appearance, but leaves after 007 minutes

By MARA SIEGLER
Daniel Craig was paid $1 million for a Range Rover appearance at the New York Auto Show that barely lasted 007 minutes, sources told The Post yesterday.

“He didn’t even give a speech!” one guest griped of Craig’s drive-and-dash photo op at the Skylight at Moynihan Station on Tuesday.

“I couldn’t even tell if he was actually here,” fumed another.

The Brit was first shown in a video driving the $70,000-plus 2014 Range Rover Sport from the company’s UK manufacturing plant to the city — crossing the Manhattan Bridge to get to the red carpet.

The actor then appeared live motoring into the display area.

He got out and walked along a line of photographers and guests for a lightning-fast photo session.

The stone-faced actor then split without saying a word, putting a quiet cap on his $1 million day.

Before he was cast as Bond he was an obscure British TV actor - now everyone is throwing money at him.

No, I haven't seen that. I remember the Mr Men books being quite popular as a kid.
