Daniel Craig Forced To Wear Lifts In New "Bond" Film

Daily:

Over the decades 007 has been equipped with an amazing array of secret weapons - and now a new one has been added to his arsenal ... stacked heels.

Actress Gemma Arterton, the secret agent's love interest in the new Quantum Of Solace movie, has told how producers had to give Bond star Daniel Craig a lift when she put on her high heels.

But the 22-year-old says Craig, known to be prickly about the subject of his height, took the news 'with good humour'.

Arterton, who is 5ft 7in, said: 'Daniel is 5ft 10in but when they put me in heels, I was taller than him and it didn't look good on screen.

'The whole point of Bond is that he is masculine and hunky and he has to be taller than his girlfriend.

'Daniel had to wear shoes with a lift in them and stacked heels for a few scenes, but he took it very well. He thought it was funny.'

Hire shorter actresses. For example Jen Aniston is only 5' 6"

LOL. I loved Casino Royale.... can't wait for the new Bond film. Craig is the best Bond ever... I enjoyed Sean Connery the most until Craig came along. He's the greatest... and making love to 22 year olds... hmm, it's a tough job but I guess someone has to do it!

[aaawyeah]

uh 22-year old Craig? he was born in 1968. did he fall through a worm-hole?

Why not just give her shorter heels? Guess that wouldn't be "sexy" enough.

[thundermummy]

since when is 5'10" short?

[Tropiholic]

don't you think short men would like to be taller? they don't get much say in the matter

[Badbone]

Even looking like that, he is still "not good enough". And *women* complain about the ideal they have to live up to? Daniel Craig looks better than 90% of humanity, but none of it matters because he is not 6 feet tall.

Imagine a front page story on HufPo: “Actress pretty, but doesn’t have big enough t!ts”

Short people got no reason to live.--Randy Newman

Dudly Moore had no problem with taller women.

At least, not at first.

[BlueandGreen]

Nothing against Daniel Craig, but Clive Owen would make a better 007 ... he has that Sean Connery vibe.

[KMan1]

Really? Owen doesn't seem like a jerk.

[Cynth]

Absolutely agree

Hey,at least he's not Alan Ladd short! When starring with Sophia Loren he either had to stand on an orange crate or she had to stand in a ditch!
