Shaken and very stirred
I AM holding hands with James Bond.
No, I can't quite believe it either. But I look down at my hand and
there it is - entwined with 007's.
However, I am only supposed to be shaking it because I have just been
introduced to Daniel Craig, the new Bond.
Not only is he sex on legs, but Daniel has piercing, summer-sky blue
eyes and I feel like I've been hypnotised.
How else do you explain the fact that, in spite of my brain sending
urgent messages to my hand - "Let go of Bond's hand before he
thinks you're a lunatic" - I have still got his fingers in a
Vulcan death grip.
I have spent the day on set at the Barrandov Studios in Prague, where
new 007 movie Casino Royale is being filmed.
Not only did I get to see Daniel snogging the stunning Eva Green (15
times) but I watched footage from the film.
And let me tell you that Daniel Craig is going to make Bond cool again.
He is a rough, tough, gritty gloves-off fighting Bond.
"Daniel is very manly," said stunt co-ordinator Gary Powell. "He
moves and handles himself very well."
And right now, he is handling me. Oh God. But when in doubt, talk cars.
So what does James Bond make of his co-star in Casino Royale - the
new Aston Martin DB S? At the mention of the gorgeous DB S, Daniel
becomes genuinely excited and forgets about Handshakegate.
"I can't wait to drive it and at some stage to get back on the test
track at Gaydon with it," he says. "As long as I can take care of
it . . . "
Daniel pauses, and with an evil glint in his eye and a mischievous
smile he changes his mind.
"No, I don't want to take care of it. I want to rag the arse off
it. I want to bald the back tyres."
Do these sound like the words of a man who can only drive an automatic,
as previously reported?
Daniel has been mucking about in manuals since he was 16 and is
actually a driving demon.
Just ask Les Goble, chief test driver at Aston Martin, who was
genuinely impressed with Daniel's driving skills when they took the
DB9 and V8 Vantage out on the test track.
Goble said he was one of the best drivers he has been out with.
"Did he say that?" asks Daniel. "I love him. That only cost me
=A3500! I thought I had gone round very quietly."
Daniel has been involved with the development of the DB S right from
the beginning.
"I was lucky enough to go along when it was still in clay form," he
says. "The line of it is so beautiful." A specially built supercar
is certainly a long way from his first set of wheels.
He tells me: "My first car was a Nissan Cherry. It cost me =A3300,
which now thinking about it, was too much money."
Was that a fanny magnet? "I never pulled girls with that car.
That's not the way to pull girls - you don't pull girls with
cars."
Er . . . are you sure? "In my experience, no. Other people might have
had success but it never worked in my favour. Not in my Nissan Cherry
anyway!"
Did he pass his test first time? "No. I missed my test first time
because I was drunk.
"I had finished a job and been out late the night before. I suddenly
realised I had a test the next day. I rang up and said, 'I think I
can still do it!' "
Sadly for me, at this point the dishy Daniel was whisked away and I was
left feeling like one of his Martinis.=20
