Bond girl: 'Daniel Craig wore lifts'

Bond girl Gemma Arterton has revealed that Daniel Craig wore shoe lifts to appear taller in the new 007 movie Quantum Of Solace.

The actress, who stands at 5ft 7in, told the Mail On Sunday: "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."

Arterton added: "Daniel is the sexiest Bond ever.

"He didn't have to wear the special shoes during the whole film, just for the scenes where they wanted me in stilettos. I teased him about it and he took it in good humour."

The five previous 007 actors have all been over 6ft tall.
