Daniel Craig’s media blitz for his Holocaust film Defiance has been nothing short of wonderful. The normally reticent (re: boring) British actor has eaten chips half-naked on a beach, alluded to having a tattooed wang, and now he’s gone on my favorite show, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and admitted to not only being a huge fan of Jon, but that Jon Stewart gives him “sweaty palms”. Awesome.
Daniel Craig is showing more personality for this film junket than he has in all of his previous junkets put together. Daniel was so obviously nervous, he kept his chair several feet away from Jon’s desk, and kept rubbing his “sweaty palms” on his pants. When Jon Stewart didn’t seem to buy that James Bond was nervous about meeting some guy a cable show, Daniel admitted that he watches The Daily Show in Britain when it’s broadcast on CNN International, and that he watches it when he’s in America. Jon, ever the skillful interviewer, got Daniel talking about weapons training, and even told Craig a story about The Daily Show’s “correspondents” going out to shoot targets. Great interview from two of the cutest guys in the world!
