The recently-wed actor told Esquire about his humiliating experience shooting Spielberg's 3-D performance capture film Tintin two years ago, in which he played the role of Pirate Red Rackham. Cue the fuzzy dissolve...
"We shot it in mo-cap. Which is like: Fuck me, I'm literally in a leotard with a fucking helmet on, and a camera strapped to it. It's Steven Spielberg, so every fucker in the world comes to visit. Fincher comes to visit. Clint fucking Eastwood comes to visit. It was just like, are you kidding me? I'm gonna meet these people dressed like this? Playing a pirate, wearing a leotard and a camera? Really?"
Apparently so. The rest of us will have to wait until December 23 to see Craig in Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn in theaters and even longer to see if Daniel Craig "in a leotard with a fucking helmet on" makes it into the DVD features. Fingers crossed!
