Daniel Craig: 'Topless Scenes Are Getting Harder'

Film still

Daniel Craig has joked that he feels "objectified" by topless scenes in the James Bond movies, adding that they'll only get harder as he gets older.

The actor, who will be seen in his third outing as 007 in 'Skyfall' this Autumn, discussed his famous flesh-flashing with Shortlist.

Asked if he feels like he's being objectified, he laughed: "Yes, all the time. Talk to my boss, Barbara Broccoli, about that. Yes, completely, f*ck it, why not?"

On reading the script and seeing more topless bits, he said: "I don’t actually read those bits. I don’t care how many times I have to do it. It’s going to be harder and harder the older I get.

"It’s just fun. There’s enough sexiness in the movie with the girls – and hopefully me as well – but it’s a little bit of a gag now."

The actor also denied that he ad-libs. "I maintain you can’t improvise a movie like James Bond. It’s impossible," he said.

"But if you have a good script, funny moments come out of the situation and you can add to them. There are moments that are not to do with lines; there are looks and feelings."

'Skyfall' is out later this month.
