'Layer Cake'
James Bond star Daniel Craig has claimed that he hates being branded "difficult" by the media because it scares film companies away from working with him.
The 007 star revealed that MGM Studios were wary of employing him in Casino Royale due to his media image as a reclusive person.
Craig told Arena: "When I was making Bond [Casino Royale], the film company were nervous that I wasn't going to do any press, as that's my reputation for some reason.
"I don't think that's true, it's just lazy journalism; they want to paint me as someone difficult. I think I'm quite nice, but maybe I'm delusional.
"There is no point making Bond if you're not going to sell it."
