Daniel Craig Talks Martinis and Marine Workouts
One of the movies on my Top List to See this year is “Quantum of Solace,” hitting theaters Nov. 14, 2008. Is there anyone who doesn’t love Bond…James Bond?
Daniel Craig says he went all out to prepare for the iconic role. Not only did he try the Vesper martini – the drink 007 invented in “Casino Royale” – but he did a taste test for the best recipe. Aww, that’s rough!
“I’ve tried about 10 of them,” Craig, 40, tells London’s Time Out in its Oct. 23 issue. “They’re knockout. We did a proper taste test: full measure of gin, full measure of vodka and then another liqueur on top of it. I ended up on the floor.”
Off duty, the actor prefers vodka martinis with an olive. Shaken, of course. “I don’t know who drinks stirred cocktails anymore. I like them ice, ice, ice cold, so you have to shake them up.” I’m with him.
As for working off all that hard martini work, Craig called in the Royal Marines, because “they always hurt me … they haunt me.”
He also picks up a few pointers from Pierce Brosnan occasionally. “We’ve got the same publicist, so I might get on the phone with him when he’s on junkets. He was really nice and encouraging when the whole thing kicked off.”
