"I never really wanted to do James Bond," announced the 38-year-old, whose casting has upset some hardcore fans. "Don't get me wrong, I want to make big movies and I want to make as much money as I possibly can, but there's not a tremendous emotional challenge."
The star is also afraid he will be criticised if Casino Royale is unsuccessful. "It's a dodgy place to be walking," he commented. "I don't really want to get the rap for destroying the franchise."
