"Don't make me put you over my knee." Thunderball reference :D
@dominicgreene was only referring to a Bond line from "Thunderball". And now we again start talking about "Cavill being Bond". Reallyyy :-). Maybe "The Man From UNCLE" will evoke a very Bond-esque feeling, but I'm a bit saddened that because of that we again start talking about "Who should be Bond". Really....CRAIG IS BOND. And "UNCLE" will simply be a great film.
Spectre?
Seems it happened during Spectre production. Hopefully he could still concentrate fully on the film.

A shame, I like Rebecca Hall. I don't want to go into gossip, but Sam Mendes cheated on Kate Winslet with Hall. An ironic twist of fate.
Looks cool!
Nowhere in the article is it mentioned that she cheated on Mendes. They split, and only after that did she find a new boyfriend according to the daily mail.
Yes, you are right. I didn't read properly.
I can't tell about UNCLE (not a Ritchie fan), but Craig has never remotely looked or felt right for Bond (except maybe as a Vargas-type thug for the main villain.) And that's not even getting into my thoughts on him personally and his recent bratty comments regarding Simon Pegg and the stormtrooper story, plus the bit about who the next Bond would be. He seems to have mistakenly thought he was displaying casual arrogance when employing outright rudeness in its place. For a guy who hasn't had a genuine net-profit hit outside of Bond, it is kind of startling.
You do realise that the vast majority of Bond fans and casual moviegoers both disagree with you, don't you?
While I disagree with what you said about Craig completely, I thought his comments weren't Bond (or gentleman)-like, imagining how Sean or even Roger would have replied to a question like that.
He can swear like a trooper for all I care, what kind of world do we live in when the actions of Connery are deemed fine and Craig drops an F bomb and he's not as classy as Sean?
Some of you wear blinders when it comes to Lord Connery just because he was the first.
As for Roger you'll get no complaint from he's a great ambassador for the series but I can't imagine he's whiter than white. Craig says it like he feels and he gets more respect from me for that than Connery's questionable past.
Even when he's joking or being sarcastic his comments get taken out of context so it's not a big deal to him. Besides, he conducts himself better than many of his peers out there who are difficult to interview. The same people here who blindly champion the likes of Hardy seem to ignore the fact that he makes Craig look like a saint when it comes to interacting with interviewers not to mention tge last time I checked, Craig has never choked out his director.
Fair enough, but it wasn't Bond-like. Not in a bad way, but it's more respectable to keep cool at that point in frustration imo.
But the thing with press junkets, you get interviewed by lots of different journalists who usually ask the same question over and over again so that was probably the 15th time he'd been asked that question that day...and the press junket lasted at least two days.
Yes he swears, but so what? Prince Philip swears and he's royalty. A lot of the time he does it in jest, and those on the receiving end know that and go with it. He has a certain sense of humour that some people get and share and others don't - he just has to be careful that he doesn't say the wrong thing to the wrong person.
But saying unwise things to the press who were invited by EON to do these interviews is unprofessional. The swearing is irrelevant and not the issue. It is the snarky, grumpy conduct. The press invited to do these promo events are just doing their jobs. How can most of them not ask the same questions, that is typical of all these promo round table events. All actors deal with it. It's in Craig's contract to do these events and give the press the positive info and spin they need to write positive SP stories. These press reps are not paps goading him on the street. It is a real disappointment to read about his conduct. He is being a jerk, and there is no excuse for it.
