Craig "didn't expect" Bond criticism

Sony Pictures

Daniel Craig has admitted that he was not prepared for the harsh criticism he received after being announced as the new James Bond.

The actor was slated by some 007 fans before filming for Casino Royale had even begun, leading to further rumours that he was scared of speed boats and couldn't drive Bond's car.

"Seriously, I didn't really expect it," he told Empire magazine. "I've been acting a while and know you can't believe the bad stuff and can't believe the good stuff either. But you still take it in. You can't help it.

"After all the fuss, I'm giving everything I can to make a fantastic movie."
