Daniel Craig has claimed that the Bond movies help him to avoid suffering a mid-life crisis.

The 40-year-old actor revealed that he is able to act out his fantasies on-screen in scenes which depict 007's lavish lifestyle.

"I hope I'm not going to have a mid-life crisis," Craig explained. "I mean, I'm having a mid-life crisis as they go - I'm driving around in an Aston Martin and wearing sharp suits and sort of going around with beautiful girls."

He added: "I'm acting my mid-life crisis out on movies."

Craig, who has taken on the role in Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, recently credited his family and friends for keeping him "grounded".
