Moore: Daniel Craig is marvellous
Roger Moore has said he thinks Daniel Craig is a "marvellous" James Bond.
The 81-year-old actor, who starred in seven Bond films in the 1970s and the 1980s, said Daniel's previous performances in Munich and Sylvia helped shape a new Bond.
"All of those parts were very, very different to one's conception of Bond ... I thought he was absolutely marvellous," Moore said of Craig's acting in Casino Royale.
But Moore, speaking at an event in Hong Kong to promote his autobiography My Word Is My Bond, said he had yet to see Daniel's latest turn as the British spy in Quantum Of Solace.
Moore added that he had met Daniel for the first time at a recent celebration for Bond creator Ian Fleming in London and found him a "charming guy."
