John C. Reilly, Daniel Craig Threw a 'Lobster' Boil in Ireland
toward the end of the shoot, Reilly gathered the cast and crew together for, of course, a lobster boil.
I got the lobsters from a local fisherman who lived down the road, and I suddenly had sixty lobsters to cook on one stove. And right when the party was starting, I realized I was completely unprepared – I don’t know what I was thinking, like I’d just throw them all in one pot,†he laughed.
Thankfully, Weisz’s husband Daniel Craig was also in attendance. “He leaped into action and helped me cook the lobsters. He smashed them open and could wield the knife like James Bond. I felt like I was in good hands.â€

Totally to both. Love the story and Daniel being the one taking action but yeah, poor lobsters.
thanks so much for digging this out. He us never afraid to get dirty to help. Remember the story with the ring or what it was in the trash? Love that about him.

The top notch acting in the Weisz/Craig/Spall 'Betrayal' is emotionally true, often v funny and its beautifully staged with filmic qualities..

Daniel Craig To Be Star Attraction At Bollywood Vs Politicians Charity Football Match
If things go as planned, Hollywood star Daniel Craig might just be in India next month. Best known for his iconic portrayal of James Bond, the 48-year-old British actor will be the star attraction at a charity football match between Bollywood celebrities and politicians in New Delhi on June 11.
Sources attribute the Craig connection to Italian activist-diplomat Angelo Antonio Toriello, whose organisation, Humanicy, is spearheading the big ticket event along with its office-bearers in India. The programme aims to highlight the role of culture and humanities in shaping diplomacy. Humanicy is a term coined by Toriello to ensure happiness to everyone besides creating AIDS awareness and providing medical facilities and treatment free of cost
Toriello, the ambassador at large for Sao Tome and Principe, is also Special Envoy to the Permanent Mission of Sao Tome and Principe to the United Nations.
Craig recently joined hands with Toriello to recognise the importance of humanitarian causes. The star was named by the UN as global advocate for the elimination of mines and explosive hazards during the International Happiness Day celebrations at the UN in March this year.
Toriello was in Mumbai recently to oversee the arrangements with his Indian team for the fundraiser. He says, "Considering Daniel Craig's contribution to the social cause, he is keen to lend support to our initiatives. We have already approached him and sounded him about the gala. He has evinced a desire to visit India. We are giving him an occasion to lend support to our causes. We are hopeful that he will be able to be there for the gala."
