Craig: 'I'd kill for my family'

Daniel Craig has claimed that he has the capability to kill someone if they threatened his family.

The actor, who reprises his role as spy James Bond in next week's Quantum Of Solace, told The Mirror how he would react if someone tried to harm those close to him.

"I would kill for my family, it's as simple as that," he said. "And my friends are the most important thing to me."

Speaking about the criticism he received when he was cast as 007, Craig said: "I was affected by it, of course I was. At first I had this horrible kind of sado-masochistic fascination and the feeling that I had to read it all.

"What bothered me was that I was being criticised before I had done the work. My response was, 'See the movie and then you have the right to criticise'."
