He will be very nervous. He is a wreck, when presenting at the Oscars and now this. But at least, he doesn't have to say anything or very little. (I suppose) That's good ;)
On the Today show this morning they said the highlight of the opening ceremony will be a stuntman parachuting into the stadium as James Bond?
That sounds a bit more like it, it would of been impossible to insure DC to abseil (or parachute!) out of a helicopter, maybe they'll use some kind of sleight of hand trickery in the Stadium to switch from the stuntman (once he's landed) to DC?
Recall You Only Live Twice and the Kobe docks sequence. Bob Simmons did, I think, two long falls. After the second, he jumped off what he landed on and up popped Sean Connery straightening his cuffs. It looked pretty seamless.
I think people are expecting to see Craig but the emphasis is Bond as the attraction, however, I don't think it means people are expecting to see Craig pull off the dangerous stunt.
It did. It really looked as though Connery did that front flip jump.
I think, he could easily do it by now - he has become almost a stuntguy himself.
Connery was in film - how will they do that life? Seamless?
Again, it'll be a bit of fun.
Not to mention that i've had enough of the olympic games. Everywhere I turn, i'm reminded of it. I just can't wait for it to be over.
BUT I love the idea of Bond opening the olympics, and I'm looking forward to the bit where he abseils in. I just wish they didn't have the whole Queen/knighthood thing involved.
I'm looking forward to the football starting up again more than I am to the Olympics.
I have nothing against Jessica Ennis on my tv. If that's all the Olympics were, then i'd watch. :-\"
Hahaha, true, true.
Anyway, Bond will be present - at one point the Bond theme played, the lighting effects in the crowd turned to the Union Jack colours and a HUGE helicopter flew over-head. Obviously they stopped it there (they couldn't give toooo much away at this stage) but it looks like it's gonna be great. Incidentaly, the following act was the introduction of the Queen and the Duke into the arena.
Craig and a Mustache?
If he's doing it live, better give that man a razor :D

Daniel Craig to be winched from a helicopter as James Bond in the opening ceremony. Beckham and The Queen have roles in it..
They might let him abseil in but I doubt they'd let him parachute.
Beckham???? My excitement factor for this just dropped a ton. So not only is the Queen there and Bond is getting knighted, f*cking David Beckham is gonna be involved. Brilliant. I'm still looking forward to the bit where he actually opens the games, but WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Actually, it never said David, maybe Bond will be shagging his stick insect wife as part of the short film.
He asked "Are you a Pole Vaulter?"
He said "No, I'm German...and how do you know my name?"
