Daniel Craig dragged for being pretentious
Quote:
At the time, he was reportedly told to 'shut up' and to stop bashing the popular movie franchise.
Insiders told New York Post newspaper's PageSix that Craig's animosity towards the popular franchise was brought on by the difficulties involved in the latest film.
A source claimed: 'They had problems initially with the script, Craig was injured on the set and needed knee surgery, and they were still doing re-shoots last month, even though the movie is out in weeks. It was a very difficult shoot, to say the least.'
However, it's not just Spectre bosses that were unimpressed with Craig's attitude as 'Grey's Anatomy' actress Ellen Pompeo wrote on Twitter that, ‘this dude needs a reality check, after hearing about his remark.
‘Craig is pretentious and thinks he's better than Bond, that it doesn't give him the creative range he needs,’ a Hollywood insider told PageSix. ‘Plus he hasn't had a big hit movie outside of the franchise, and he blames that on Bond.’
The British actor - who reprised his role as the British secret service agent in Bond film Spectre - made the claim when he was asked whether he would be back for a fifth movie.
'I’d rather break this glass and slash my wrists,' he said during an interview with London's Time Out magazine. 'We’re done. All I want to do is move on,' the 47-year-old actor added.
He said he's not talking with anyone about staying on in Her Majesty's Secret Service but added the caveat that if he were to do another Bond movie, 'it would only be for the money.’
He was paid £7.38million for Skyfall, making him the highest-paid Bond actor ever, and the film was the first Bond movie to break the one billion dollar mark.
After the success of Skyfall it was reported he brokered a deal to be paid £31 million for his next two 007 films, including the soon-to-be-released Spectre, the 24th film in the franchise.

Also confirmed that he is done with the Bond franchise:

Daniel Craig has reportedly stepped down as James Bond, as a new US television series has meant he will be too busy to reprise the role.
According to The Sun, the 47-year-old will star in Purity, which will run for several series of 20 episodes apiece after playing the secret agent for a decade.
