Daniel Craig hated taking his clothes off for sex scenes in upcoming James Bond movie Quantum Of Solace - because he was surrounded by strangers.
The British actor had to bare all for several steamy scenes in the eagerly anticipated 007 movie.
But Craig admits it was hard to feel all loved up because there was a group of unfamiliar people watching his every move.
He says, “You can never feel comfortable. You’re still in a sex scene where there are 10 people in the room who you don’t really know that well.
“So you’re not exactly feeling sexy. Unless you get a kick out of that! Some people do, but I don’t.”

Bond star Daniel Craig was prepared to be injured on the set of Quantum Of Solace - because he once harboured dreams of being a tough stuntman.
The actor faced a challenging role in the forthcoming 007 movie, and sustained a string of injuries after attempting his own stunts.
The star was rushed to hospital in June after hurting himself on-set in South America, and was recently seen nursing a bruised eye and fractured arm.
But Craig insists he wasn’t put off by the prospect of pain.
He says, “I’m pushing myself as hard as I can. I’ve had black eyes, cuts, bruises. I even injured my Achilles.
“Jumping from great heights hurts a lot, but I did that quite often. As a kid, I actually wanted to be a stuntman because I liked falling off my bike. I was always bleeding.”

R+B star Alicia Keys and rocker Jack White will let fans hear a sneak preview of their Bond theme Another Way To Die on the internet.
The Fallin’ hitmaker joined The White Stripes frontman to write and record the track for the upcoming James Bond movie, Quantum Of Solace.
And they plan to exclusively stream the song on White’s Third Man Records website from Friday.
It is due for release in the U.S. on September 30.
Earlier this week Keys revealed she was so impressed with White in the studio, she wants him to work on her next album.

Alicia Keys is adamant Amy Winehouse should have been included on the new James Bond theme tune - insisting she would have “loved” to record with the troubled star.
Winehouse was in the running to land the official song for the new 007 movie Quantum of Solace, but the honour eventually went to Keys, who duetted with White Stripes frontman Jack White on the track.
The Back to Black singer was furious at the snub, mocking movie bosses for opting for a “clean-cut and boring” line-up.
But Keys insists that Winehouse should have been allowed to sing on the track - and adds that she would have happily shared the vocals on Another Way To Die.
She says, “I would have loved for her to do it - it would have been awesome. All three of us should do it.”

Daniel Craig chose the name of the forthcoming James Bond movie Quantum Of Solace - because he didn’t want a grisly title with “death” in it.
The British actor rejected several potential names during a brainstorming session with producers - before insisting they go with the title of a short story by Bond creator Ian Fleming.
And he is adamant it was the right move - even though some movie critics have panned the name.
Craig tells Britain’s GQ magazine, “I was involved in making the decision. Names were coming out, some ludicrous stuff was going back and forth - I can’t remember exactly, but you know the sort of thing: ‘The Blood On Your Face’.
“I knew I didn’t want ‘death’, ‘die’, ‘bleed’ or any of those things in the title.”
But the actor admits that in the great tradition of Bond movies, the film’s title is often meaningless.
He adds, “As soon as it came out, people were saying, ‘Ooh, it sounds like Harry Potter’. No, it’s Quantum of Solace. I was saying, ‘It’s a Bond title!’
“The name of a Bond film is not about anything. Live And Let Die? Octopussy? What does it mean? It means very little.”

James Bond star Daniel Craig is appalled by the recent rumours of a “curse” on the set of forthcoming 007 movie Quantum Of Solace - dismissing the idea as “offensive”.
The production of the film was marred by accidents - including a crash which left stuntman Aris Comninos critically injured and an Aston Martin sportscar being accidentally driven into a lake.
Craig also suffered his fair share of injuries - the actor was rushed to hospital after slicing off the top of his finger; he suffered a bruised eye and fractured arm, as well as requiring eight stitches to repair a gash in his face caused during a fight scene.
All of the disasters led internet gossips to speculate about a film curse - but Craig insists the mere suggestion of it is ridiculous.
He tells Britain’s GQ magazine, “The thing about the Curse of Bond thing is that it’s f**king offensive, really. Let’s be honest. It’s f**king offensive.
“There’s a risk in everything we do and we literally have the best people in the world who do this and every precaution is taken to minimise the risk. But there is a risk. And there’s no blame. Taking my finger as part of a ‘curse’ - that’s offensive. This is what we do but it gets magnified and taken out of context.”

Bond girl Gemma Arterton has confessed to a unique secret - she was born with six fingers on each hand.
The Quantum of Solace star had the extra digits removed as a child.
She tells Esquire magazine, “It’s my little oddity that I am really proud of. It makes me different.”

Bond girl Olga Kurylenko was surprised to land a role in Quantum Of Solace - because she never rehearsed for the part.
Kurylenko plays femme fatale Camille in the latest installment of the superspy franchise.
But she thought her dreams of playing the famous role ended at her auditions.
She explains, “I didn’t get the scenes to learn beforehand. They didn’t arrive so I was totally unprepared.
“So I sat there for 20 minutes trying to memorise them, but the audition ended up more like an improvisation. I thought, `Well I’ve got nothing to lose; I probably won’t get it, so I’m just going to have fun.”’
