Daniel Craig`s mother spilled the beans to local press ahead of announcement

Casino Royale - 14-10-05

A day ahead of the official announcement, Daniel Craig's mother could not contain her excitement that her son was the sixth James Bond 007 - so she leaked the news to her local newspaper.

Carol Craig told the Liverpool Daily Post that she was delighted with his appointment. "Obviously we are thrilled to bits", she said.

"It has come at a very good time in his career. He has worked extremely hard all his life and this would be his biggest populist role."

"I think he could bring something very interesting to the part. It will be life-changing."

Daniel Craig will be officially announced at noon on Friday 14th October 2005 in London.

Thanks to `JP` for the alert.
