Craig admitted he accidentally injured Bautista – who joins the pantheon of Bond villains as Mr Hinx, a henchman for the criminal organisation SPECTRE – during a few of their sequences together.

An interview with Daniel Craig became excruciatingly awkward when the unimpressed actor refused repeated demands from a journalist to “pout”.
2006’s “Casino Royale” showed James Bond at the beginning of his career and had a romance which suggested an explanation for the way Bond treats women. “I think you need to move on”, Craig said, clearly annoyed that she was bringing it up again.
He added: “I love making these films and the chance to come and make a movie after Skyfall was a huge challenge”.
The interview abruptly ended and the show cut back to its presenters, who appeared unprepared as they sat slumped on the couch. STEFAN WERMUTH/REUTERS WIll Harris’ Eve Moneypenny return to the field in “Spectre”, after taking a desk job in “Skyfall”? “But as I said, I reserve the right to change my mind”, he explained.
Now, there’s nearly as much anticipation about who will eventually replace Craig than for “Spectre” itself, which has already garnered largely positive reviews following Wednesday’s first showing to the press. “Why haven’t you got your kit off?” she said.
Handsome, well-built and with an accent to die for, Connery’s Bond was a hit with the ladies but physically imposing enough to ensure his battles with various bad guys was based around more than simple smarts.
Spectre is expected to storm the box office when it opens in United Kingdom cinemas on 26 October before opening in the USA on 6 November.
Lucky for us, seeing interviewers-and the rest of the internet-wither in the face of Craig’s bone-dry British humor been unbelievably entertaining.

“Let’s not forget that he’s actually a misogynist. A lot of women are drawn to him chiefly because he embodies a certain kind of danger and never sticks around for too long”, Craig noted. It’s the part that got Craig the second-most offended, when Powell repeatedly asked him to pout for her.
