Daniel Craig is still learning how to be "free on film"

The actor - who is best known for playing James Bond in five 007 films - told The Hollywood Reporter: "The first movie job I ever did, I went on the set and the director kept saying to me [complimenting him], 'God, you're so still!' I was like [to myself], 'Because I'm terrified!'

"On the stage, because I'd been doing that for so long, there was just the freedom to be. I didn't go into film knowing how to do that. That I had to learn - and I'm still learning to this day how to be as free on film as I can be on the stage."

Daniel recently admitted that he felt emotionally "exhausted" after shooting each of his Bond movies.

The actor acknowledged that the money-spinning films took a physical and emotional toll on him.

Daniel told The Sunday Times newspaper: "Early on with Bond I thought I had to do other work, but I didn't. I was becoming a star, whatever that means, and people wanted me in their films. Incredible.

"Most actors are out of work for large chunks so you take your job offers - but they left me empty. Then, bottom line, I got paid.

"I was so exhausted at the end of a Bond it would take me six months to recover emotionally. I always had the attitude that life must come first and, when work came first for a while, it strung me out."
