Craig Facelift?

Post by Goldeneye »

Thanks to BJ for the original post!

007 Splits After Facelift Pressure
In what must be the exception that proves the rule, rumor has it that 007 Skyfall husband Daniel Craig is feeling pressure from the studio to get a facelift before the next Sam Mendes directed James Bond instalment, Bond 24, while the world still raves over his wife's Rachel Wiesz uncompromised beauty in her latest film Lobster. Rumor has it that the only reason the studio isn't pushing Craig even harder is they are afraid her might split. It is looking more and more like Daniel Craig's unsteady marriage to the Bond franchise may end in its inevitable divorce even sooner than anyone anticipated.

46-year-old actor Daniel Craig isn't the man that he used to be, or at least he doesn't really look like the man he used to be.

Rumor has it that as the earth's cruel joke, gravity, continues to ravage the poor man's face so severely that the 007 producers are afraid that the audience will think that James Bond was exposed to some sort of severe radiation leak between films.

An insider told OK! Magazine that the only thing that scares the powers that be more than Craig's deflated face, is his overinflated sense of self:
[highlight=#ffff00]"Producers have noticed that he hasn't aged well since shooting Casino Royal in 2006 and that he may be in need of a face-lift.[/highlight]

[highlight=#ffff00]"[But] he doesn't desire to go under the knife...They're scared he'll blow up at them."[/highlight]

If they can talk the reluctant geriatric into the doctors off, Daniel will have more than enough time to fully recuperate before it's time to start filming, as director Sam Mendes and Bond 24 co-writer John Logan haven't come close to finishing the script yet.

The famed American Beauty visionary claims that if the script isn't water tight before they start filming, everyone will die--or something equals dramatic as that (via Cinema Blend):

The next one-- it's being written...it's ongoing.

For me, so much of it is about script...It's like the building of a boat-- once the boat gets on the current, it's gone. If there's a hole in the boat, you're f--ked.

"So you've got to make sure there's no holes in the boat, and that's what we're doing now."

It'll be interesting to see who budges, if this story is true. Craig is always *saying* that he wants to get out of his Bond contract, but I can't see him killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. Expect to see him in Bond 24 with a strangely reinvigorated appearance.

His tenure will end sooner than we thought. Then FBF can select his proper 7th 007 and Eon will select their's.

Unless EON decide that Craggy is so essential to the series that they're prepared to put up with his wizened appearance. But will Babs (and Amy Pascal) still love him when he's old and gray?

He was hideous in CR and that was 8 years ago. He's only gotten worse daily. Moore at 46 did his first Bond and looked more youthful than Cr-egg now at 46. Cr-egg's tenure could end at 47 next year while Moore's launched at 46. Irony indeed. Throw the bum out already :!:........it's on another website now too http://www.showbizspy.com/article/27757 ... 42014.html http://www.showbizspy.com/article/27039 ... 82014.html Where is Ale to comment on this recent interesting and hopefully franchise changing news?

Barbara loves that Pug like face. I can see MGW suddenly opine on how not only was 007 the first anti-hero he was the first ugly cinema star and fact of the matter they combine make-up along with CGI to allow Daniel to appear even older. All to realise Ian Fleming's truest intentions of course, not his sister's possibly twisted desires.

I can respect Daniel if he truly does not want a face lift. So much can go wrong, as well as they probably already do so much to his face as it is. Probably needs time to cleanse what ever those treatments are out of his system. Also I'm not sure the healing time would be enough for a movie that has to be shot in the next six months.
http://iamjammed.com/wp-content/uploads ... P_2011.jpg
But as some critics who adored Daniel in CR said at the time (2006) 'He will need a facelift before the next one.'

I'm sure I mentioned this before n the last few years I re-watched the Sharpe's Rifles\Eagle\Gold and so on (TV programme). Daniel was in one of the first adventures filmed in the early 90s making him twenty-four maybe twenty-five. To my eyes he looked closer to late thirties to early forties.
Of course I could be mistaken most of the cast was thirties to forties, including the female cast and the new Midsomer Inspector Barnaby. Daniel was probably one of the youngest cast members he didn't look it to my eyes.

I can't imagine that harpy firing the baboon. How real is this story? I'm not familiar with this website, however showbiz spys has it too. http://www.showbizspy.com/article/27757 ... 42014.html
They have a short clip and a link to another story saying he needs Botox after arriving at a gala
OMG! Daniel Craig is Looking OLD!
The Skyfall star, 46, showed off his VERY wrinkly forehead — and receding hairline — at the Opportunity Network’s 7th annual “Night of Opportunities” Gala in New York last night.

Whether his tenure will end sooner or not, it doesn't matter. Bond's a zombie now, and he can't be saved even if DC leaves as the DC Virus has infected the general public.

The ship has sailed for Cavill. He won't be Bond and neither will any actors with classic looks.
We don't know that, it seems that way because the lady boss has Kathy Bates style obsession with Craig. As others are speculation what do they do after bond 24-25, reboot. what kind of reboot? a real start from scratch, a ignore Craig and launch a GE, TLD, style "reboot"?

What I be curious to see is if when Craig leaves if babs and MGW step down as the producers in charge, MGW has kids who will want to get on making their Bond Movies some day.

But what if Craig quits over plastic surgery?

I expect Mikey to quit long before Babs, purely because of the age difference between them. Don't think Craig will quit over botox, because I want it to happen, and nothing Bond-related that I wish for has come true for a decade.

Daniel Craig looked craggy when he first started out as Bond. In Skyfall his aged look was praised as showing depth of character. I think Daniel Craig does not have the Bond look, like everyone here. But he can turn up looking like he wants as his fans stil like him.
