Daniel Craig lied to land movie roles

Samuel001

DANIEL Craig has revealed how he used to lie in order to land movie roles.

The British movie hunk says he would assure movie bosses he was a skilled horseman so as not to miss out on certain roles when in fact he barely knew one end of a horse from the other.

“The horse movies I had done before had so little money that I didn’t have the chance to practice,” says Craig, who is now adept at riding and showing it off in Cowboys & Aliens.

“I would just turn up to shoot and get on a horse pretending to know what I was doing — sometimes just to get the part. But I was on a horse every day for two weeks before we started shooting this movie so by the end, had I had the land, I would have bought a horse!”

Meanwhile, Craig — who tied the knot with actress Rachel Weisz last month in a surprise low-key ceremony — has insisted he will never reveal what happened on his wedding day.

“I did it secretly — I can’t tell you how I pulled it off. My private life is incredibly important to me, and certainly that aspect of it is more than incredibly important to me,” he said.

I believe he stated this many many years ago as well, nothing new and I would hazard a guess that most actors do this.
Law of the jungle.
Lie, improvise then learn.
Heck isn't it what most people do anyway?

Yep, it's what every actor does...I once told a director that I could do a certain accent and, unbelievably, he didn't ask me to demonstrate! Gave me time to learn how to do it in time for the callbacks :-)

Good luck, DC - as Rowan Atkinson once said, the only thing that is harder than not talking about your private life is not talking about why you're not talking about your private life.
