Daniel Craig The Newest 007

In Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, and Skyfall, Daniel Craigs's Bond character is more tough guy than gadget geek. He uses his intelligence and brute force to conquer the villains, and many of the scenes show him bloody and beat up. It’s a big switch from the previous Bond roles, where he seems impervious to harm. Craig’s action scenes are gripping and designed to showcase his sex appeal.

And in Casino Royale he falls in love with the government appointed accountant assigned to monitor the money James uses when gambling. She is Vesper Lynd, the only woman who can steal his heart. The premise is that memories of this love affair stay with him throughout his career and keep him from becoming attached to the other beautiful bond girls.

Another modern twist is the type of cars he drives. In many scenes he is seen in small economy Fords instead of high priced powerful sports cars. Perhaps he is a more earth friendly Bond? And he makes mistakes, which portrays him as more vulnerable that the other Bonds. The persona projected by Daniel Craig’s James Bond is designed to appeal to women as much, or maybe even more, than men. In fact, the Casino Royale shot of Daniel Craig in his swim trunks has topped the sexiest celebrity men polls many times.
