... But Is Putting The Muscles Back!
CANNES, France (AP) - James Bond says his rippling muscles have gone a little flabby. Bond star Daniel Craig told reporters at the Cannes Film Festival that he had let himself go a little since putting himself through a tough fitness regimen for last year's ''Casino Royale.''
''I had some down time,'' the 39-year-old actor said Monday. ''I got to enjoy myself a bit. I'm getting back into shape now, I'm kind of building myself up again.''
Craig said the script for next Bond film, not yet titled, hasn't been finalized.
''Casino Royale,'' his first appearance as 007, ''was very successful,'' Craig said. ''But I know it's only as good as the next one's going to be. We have to make the next one, I think, better than the last one to keep people happy.''
Craig was in Cannes for a preview of ''The Golden Compass,'' a fantasy adventure that also stars Nicole Kidman. Craig portrays an explorer in the Indiana Jones vein - professorial in a beard and tweed suit, a change of pace from his Bond role.
