Perhaps because you look about 50, yet portray a rookie agent.

It's more than just that Skywalker, and you know it.

Actually in that photo he'd make a great Stan Laurel.

I was thinking Hugh Grant.

"Oh- Darn it! Whoops, I'm sorry to be rude. But I was uh wondering if you could not wear shoes with high heels?"

Only a prize idiot could play Hugh Grant. Hmmmm.....

DC is a good actor, but even he wouldn't be able to pull that one off.

Is it me or does Olga have a resemblance of Sophie Marceau?

A bit; about 10% of the acting talent though. If only we had a proper Bond instead of Daniel Craig.

I think Daniel's wearing more make up than the Bond girls at the conference.

The other James Bond actors relied on make-up, toupees and other stock items of the actor's trade. But, Daniel Craig really does need a new make-up artist.

He looks like the girl's dad in that photo, please NO LOVE SCENES for that is incest.

Daniel couldn't be at the event but luckily the girls found an OAP to pose with. It must have made his day.

She's 5'9" tall by the way. It seems they have to cast short actors to complement Craig's stature. Look at this fact at all of the upcoming scenes.

During the conference, one of the medias questions about QOS was the budget for the film. BB would only reveal that the the budget was too high.

I have heard though from even Craig himself on the matter, that the budget is around $200 mil (dont know if that includes marketing costs!!),
but either way that is a heluva lot of 'broccoli's'........................the larger
number of action set pieces has obviously bumped up the costs of the film
compared to CR (even though no one has given out the true costs for that film.........i did contact some media sources, but the info was variable).

Anyway, what it means, is that Sony must be very confident that QOS will deliver huge returns at the boxoffice worldwide.

EA

Craig is one foot shorter than Roger Moore (second shortest Bond) yet it still has to be a big deal for you BJ?

Most Bond girls were 5'6'', with the tallest being Carey Lowell at 5'10''. And I doubt they would ever hire a Bond girl taller than any Bond actor. So it's not like EON is suddenly focusing on a Bond girl's height more than they have before Craig stepped in.

Roger Moore was 6'2 according to Cubby Broccoli in his book. Craig does look like a shortarse in crowd scenes and the like. He wouldn't have passed Cubby's 'height test'. *

*See the documentary on the Live and Let Die DVD.

Then I guess that makes Brosnan the second shortest.

Yes, comfortably ahead of Daniel Craig who is the shortest James Bond ever.
