No rom-coms for Daniel Craig

Los Angeles - Daniel Craig would be a "disaster" in a romantic comedy.

The Cowboys & Aliens star, who is best known for appearing as British spy James Bond in Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace , doesn't think a good film can be restricted by genre, but believes it would be a bad idea for him to appear in a hilarious love story.

He said: "I'm not about to do a rom-com. It would be a disaster.

"Good movies aren't just funny. Good movies aren't just sad. Good movies aren't just serious. They're all of those fucking things.

"In good movies, you should be involved in the characters. Not getting deep about it but I think that's more interesting."

The truth

However, Daniel admits he would like to see a little more humour in the forthcoming James Bond 23 film, which will be directed by Sam Mendes.

"The humour has to come from truth, at how ridiculous the situations are. If it's just gags for the sake of gags, I'm not interested in that. I want to get the wryness back into it.

"It's a balance, because you've got to believe that he's going to be alive at the end of the movie. That's a James Bond movie," he said.
