James Bond actor Daniel Craig was able to apply his stealth skills on the screen in real life over the summer, as he married actress Rachel Weisz largely under-the-radar of tabloids. The two have since gone public about their relationship but not for more attention, as the tough actor explains in the latest edition of GQ UK. That‘s because he’s not a fan of people who make their personal lives public as a vehicle for stardom.
”It’s not about being afraid to be public with your emotions or about who you are and what you stand for. But if you sell it off it’s gone,” Craig told GQ during an interview for its January issue.
”You can’t buy it back – you can’t buy your privacy back.”
Craig has no sympathy for reality TV stars who complain about loosing their privacy, saying “We’ve been in your living room. We were at your birth. You filmed it for us and showed us the placenta and now you want some privacy?”
Craig cites America’s most well known reality TV family to give an example of his disgust.
“Look at the Kardashians, they’re worth millions. Millions! You see that and you think, ‘What, you mean all I have to do is behave like a f*cking idiot on television and then you’ll pay me millions?’”
The 43-year-old, who is now working on the 23rd Bond film, refused to give any details of his marriage with Weisz. Craig puts itfrankly: “Look, I’m in love. I’m very happy. And that is as far as I’m prepared to go. Life is long, life goes wrong and I don’t want to say something now that might be thrown back later.”

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 4:43pmdon‘t watch’em, don’t care!
If you sell your life for others to oggle
it’s nothing more than a form of whoredom and
if you feel comfortable with that it is your life…
must leave a bad feeling when you look at yourself in the mirror
maybe the millions will take away the sting of being so amoral & lacking of values or good judgement! You do realize money isn’t everything!
the world sees you why?! What do you think anyone can learn from such a display?
To me it just shows how much we have disentigrated as a people!

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 4:36pmI don’t watch RTV unless you consider “Extreme Home Makeover” or “The Great Race” RTV, and a few “Surviour” shows, and, “Hell’s Kitchen on slow viewing nights, and, when re-runs abound. I have enough problems of my own, without watching self-centered egotistical maniacs rant and rave and carry on, about little or nothing of importance in LIFE. All these spoiled money grubbers won’t last a minute, when the *hit hits the fan. I for one, as an ANT am tired of watching the Grasshopper dance and play all day while, I work save and store for rougher times!

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 4:29pmWOW! what a breath of freash air, a real celebrity who thinks like me, The Kardashians are fake down to the bone, even the reality is fake, with scripted reality shows, as most so called reality T.V. is fake. KK gets paid to let people see her make a mockery of marriage, and gets paid millions, even more disturbing is that folks watch this trash. I do not watch, and it never have. Love Daniel Craig, and he his spot on! a real actor with a real life.

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 3:58pmReality TV is not reality at all. It just uses everyday idiots but stages them and tells them how to act. It is ridiculous and foolish. I try not to watch it at all.

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 3:27pmReality TV requires no talent.
Look at your own life and surroundings. We don’t need to learn anything from RTV. We don‘t need to think that because they are on TV that they ’know’ something about life. Most of these people are lost. If these people cleaned up their act, they wouldn’t even have the job anymore. What a waste.

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 12:50pmI watched two episodes (a long time ago) of their ridiculousness and it blows my mind. They are pretty girls, that is it. Kim is the most ridiculous of them all, the rest are a waste of time too. If Bruce Jenner wasn’t their stepdad, no one would have ever paid any attention to them.

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 11:31amSorry, Sean Connery is and always will be James Bond, but David Craig is spot on about the Kardashians, Kendra whats-her-name and the rest of the reality show trash. What gets me is the mindless drones that actually tune in and watch…are their lives that eff’d up that they need to spend them watching a bunch of spoiled skanks and wish for that life style…really. Wow, what kind of society have we become. BTW, I saw David Craig in Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, and he does a decent job as Bond. Oh, and I am sorry, but Tom Cruise as James Bond…really? No American should play James Bond, that is blasphemy and an insult to our friends across the pond, besides, he’s too short.

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 3:26pmI don’t know Rock, sounds like Craig just leap-frogged ole Sean for coolness. I’ll admit Sean was my favorite too until I read this article. Sounds like this guy is the real deal off the screen.

Posted on December 1, 2011 at 7:47pmOK, I’ll give them even billing, but I refuse to elevate one over the other…besides Connery is also Scottish, and that makes him a Celtic brother, so there is at least some allegiance owed for that wee bit of ancestral connection…That said Tom Cruise is still a punk.

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 11:23amAt least someone in Hollywood has their head screwed on straight. Idolization of the rich and famous is one of the core problems in the US right now. We have all borrowed up to our eyeballs to try to attain the lifestyle of a bunch of famous morons with questionable political beliefs.

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 11:15amI don’t get what the big deal about the Kardshians is either. I’d rather have Tom Cruise playing James Bond though.
