Carlyle: '24's Bauer would kick Bond's ass'

Rex Features

24: Redemption star Robert Carlyle believes that Jack Bauer is a tougher action hero than James Bond.

Speaking to the Daily Record about who would win in a fight, the Full Monty star said: "Jack Bauer probably - he kills more people. Kiefer [Sutherland] could definitely kick Daniel Craig's ass."

Carlyle, who plays Bauer's friend Carl Benton in the feature-length prequel to 24's seventh season, added that shooting the television movie was an enjoyable experience.

"It was fun filming with Kiefer," he said. "He's quite a guy, especially on a night out. We did a lot of scenes together and one was particularly emotional."
