Potential photographers be warned; you may “get thumped”

He’s got one of the world’s most recognisable faces, and is soon to be back on our screens in his most famous role of James Bond for the upcoming Spectre movie. But if you see Daniel Craig, it’s best not to try and get a selfie with him, tbh.

Even if you’re desperate to get all the Instragram likes, Daniel has made it clear that he’s, well, not a fan of being approached by fans for pictures.

The 49 year old told The Sunday Times’ Culture magazine:

"If me and my mates went out and all got sh*t-faced, and someone started taking photographs, they'd get thumped.”

GULP. We would not like to be on the receiving end of that thump.

He went on: "The other thing I don't get is, people are happy to take pictures of me without asking. But things have changed so rapidly."

To be fair, it’s never nice when people take sneaky photos of you or catch you off guard. You need a moment to perfect your pose and make sure the camera catches you on your best side.

He went on:

"Nobody really gives a f*ck what I think about the modern world, but that part I can do without."

These comments come several years after the very private actor grabbed a phone from somebody who was trying to take pictures of Daniel and his wife, actress Rachel Weisz.

He allegedly became angry with the person in question, with Rachel stepping in to calm him down. But hey – the actor not a total photo grinch – he’s all up for taking photos with fans at premieres and red carpet events.

Just don’t get snap happy when you see him in the kebab shop at 4 in the morning with all the lads, OK?
