Birthplace

Can people stop changing Daniels birthplace to Hoylake, he may have grown up there but he was born in Chester!

Yep @ 41 Liverpool Rd, Chester, Cheshire CH3, United Kingdom to be precise. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.130.126.36 (talk) 18:15, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cheshire

The Wirral is not part of Cheshire; it is part of Merseyside. The statements regarding Craig's early life in 'Cheshire' are therefore not correct. Can somebody make the relevant corrections? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.220.86.40 (talk) 15:03, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merseyside did not come into effect until 1974, until then the Wirral was in Cheshire, therefore Daniel did grow up in Cheshire.

Hardly, he was born in 1968, Merseyside came into effect in 1974. Therefore he technically had six years of Cheshire and 10 years (if he went to acting school at 16) 10 years in Merseyside. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.52.210.84 (talk) 22:44, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-lock please

GA on hold

A lot of work is required, please leave any comments if you are confused, cross of things as you go, i have the page watchlisted so will watch progress being made. M3tal H3ad (talk) 05:12, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weak pass, you need to go into a lot more detail if you want to take this further. Other than that good job. M3tal H3ad (talk) 06:00, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please semi lock

I think this article should be semi locked before the movie comes out in america because they will really vandalize it - 04/11/08 Jev2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jev2008 (talk • contribs) 05:00, 4 November 2008 (UTC) actually, Daniel Craig is the seventh Bond...Sean Connery, Roger Moore, George Lazensby, Peter Sellers (in the original Casino Royale), Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan were all his predecessors.68.41.167.8 (talk) 00:07, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sellers never played Bond. You are thinking of David Niven. In any event, that version of "Casino Royale" was a parody and not necessarily a "canonical" Eon Productions film. --Pergish1 (talk) 15:51, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Knowing more Craig

I wanted to be able to look down that table and easily see which ones were the James Bond ones. I added the EON reference just for clarity. I liked how the Notes section said TV and thought EON would add to the list by making it more film-like. Maybe there needs to be another phrase more general.
I added the link on the end since it has lots of data in the referenced article. If people go there they will see pics of Daniel Craig, casually, shots from the movie, pic of him with current fiance, and read quotes by himself from the interview. I do appreciate hearing from the subject of an article because it's his life after all. Kristinwt (talk) 20:58, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

London

On the bottom page London, is misspelled as "laudon" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.245.163.1 (talk) 14:25, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Then correct please - you don't need to ask/notify about grammatical errors. Armuk (talk) 16:35, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Casino Royale

Why does the article say that Casino Royale was #5 best selling Bond film? It made more in theaters that nay other Bond film. Is this counting DVD sales or something? Emperor001 (talk) 21:09, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Gay?

Why does it say on the second pararaph that Daniel Craig is gay and he has been married twice and has now a girlfriend? I would like to know how he would be. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.235.208.37 (talk) 20:56, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Must have been a semi-literate's attempt at humor. It's gone now.

Upcoming films

Memoirs of Hadrian is one of them. Any reason why not included? Armuk (talk) 18:51, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Encounter At the End

Where's the proof this is the title for Bond 23? 69.141.212.84 (talk) 20:56, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There doesn't appear to be any. IMDb doesn't have anything, neither does a Google News search turn up anything. I'll remove it. Yworo (talk) 21:00, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Casino Royale

Casino Royale was Craig's first film as bond not Quantum of Solace as stated in the wiki. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.107.130.12 (talk) 10:47, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

James Bond (2005–present)

The fourth paragraph:

After the film was released, Craig's performance was highly acclaimed. Critic Paul Arendt of BBC Films, Producer Barbara Broccoli also denied other rumours in an interview with Variety.

There's no connection between the first and second sentence. What "other rumors"? And what do they have to do with Crag's performance? And BTW, I think it's necessary to cite some reviews to support the claim that "Craig's performance was highly acclaimed". --Artoasis (talk) 12:17, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Gossip from The National Enquirer

I have removed this gossip, it's second-hand poorly sourced reporting from an anonymous witness. There seems little to confirm that this was not some gay guy lucky enough to look a bit like Daniel Craig. Included below for those who would like to check the sources:

removed gossip

In May 2010 The National Enquirer is reporting that Daniel Craig was caught kissing a man in a bar in Venice, California. "It was definitely Daniel Craig, and he was most certainly making out with a guy," one witness told the National Enquirer. -- ChicagoPride (May 2010). "Is Daniel Craig gay?". ChicagoPride.Com.

Circumcised Brit?

I just watched "Love is the Devil," the 1999 film Craig did about the artist Francis Bacon, and in the nude scene where he's laying in a bath tub, it seems quite plain that he's circumcised. I logged on here, fully expecting the article to say that he was Jewish, but that's apparently not the case. Anyone have any idea why he'd be circumcised? I thought all Brits were uncut. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.126.226.142 (talk) 23:30, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is sometimes done for reasons other than religion. Jim Michael (talk) 16:01, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Not all Brits are uncut. About 15% are circumcised, mostly for religious reasons but some for medical requirements. I do not believe Craig has ever declared his religion, so he may be Jewish. --TBM10 (talk) 21:40, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with TBM10. People get their kids circumcised for many reasons other than religion. There are some health benefits to it, and I'm pretty sure that it also makes sexual experiences more pleasurable. Funny fact though, the Hebrew term for a circumcision is a "Brit Milah", or a "Brit" for short, so you could've titled this "Brit Brit".... lol :)--Coin945 (talk) 14:15, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

GoldenEye007: Reloaded

Why isn't the new ps3 and x360 game GoldenEye007: Reloaded mentioned under video games? It says on this website Goldeneye 007: Reloaded Website (the official game one) that daniel craig is featured as james bond. Could someone please put that in?

Primary School

According to the page, he "attended a primary school in Frodsham and Hoylake called Holy Trinity Primary School".
Frodsham and Hoylake are over 30 km (20 miles) apart, at the extreme opposite ends of the Wirral Peninsula, so that's startlingly impractical! There's a primary school of that name in Hoylake, so should the statement be that he "attended a primary school in Frodsham (name unknown) and another in Hoylake called Holy Trinity Primary School"? If so, anyone know which school he attended in Frodsham, and which was first? Ministry (talk) 10:41, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Knighthood?

Seems the Queen may have bestowed the sword upon him. Does anyone want to add info and verification?--Canoe1967 (talk) 01:51, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Was Roger Moore knighted? The article I read said Craig was the first Bond actor to get it? Hard to trust information from most of the net. I am glad WP is 100% factual.--Canoe1967 (talk) 22:38, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
