Daniel Craig reveals that playing James Bond left him 'empty and exhausted' and admits he could never have taken on racy new film Queer if he was still 007


Daniel Craig has revealed that he felt emotionally 'exhausted' after shooting each of his James Bond movies.

The period romantic drama, set in 1950s Mexico City, follows American expat and war veteran William Lee (played by Craig), who has a romance with a younger man, Eugene Allerton (Starkey), a drug addict and discharged Navy serviceman. Daniel remains very fond of the Bond franchise, and he's curious to see where producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson decide to take it next. Daniel took on other film roles between Bond movies - such as Defiance and Cowboys and Aliens- but explained that his attempts to showcase his versatility as an actor left him burnt out.
