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

    The 56-year-old actor began his career on stage, after training at the National Youth Theatre in London, and Daniel has admitted that he initially struggled to make the adjustment to shooting movies


    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."
