The gentler side of 007

Daniel Craig will play a "tougher, grittier" James Bond in the upcoming Casino Royale (based on Ian Fleming's first novel), but it seems he's a pussy cat in real life. Craig says he absolutely hates guns.

"I hate handguns," the 37-year-old actor told the British press. "Handguns are used to shoot people and as long as they are around, people will shoot each other. That's a simple fact. I've seen a bullet wound and it was a mess. It was on a shoot and it scared me. Bullets have a nasty habit of finding their target and that's what's scary about them."

I'm missing Pierce Brosnan dreadfully right now.
