Craig adds inches for new Bond

Source: Showbiz Spy

JAMES BOND star DANIEL CRAIG was forced to wear stacked heels during the making of the new 007 film - because his co-star GEMMA ARTERTON is so much taller than him.
The actor stands 5 foot 10 inches tall (1.9 metres) but comes up short when 5 foot 7 inch (1.7 metre) Arterton wears high heels - so movie bosses insisted the star add some extra inches with a pair of special shoes. Arterton insists that Craig was forced to wear the stacked heels in all of her scenes with her in forthcoming Bond movie Quantum of Solace. She says, "Daniel is 5ft 10in but when you put me in heels, I was taller than him and it didn't look good on screen. The whole point of Bond is that he is masculine and hunky.

"And he has to be taller than his girlfriend. Daniel had to wear special shoes with a lift in them and stacked heels for a few scenes." But the actress admits Craig is unfazed by his height issues. She adds, "He took it very well. He thought it was funny. I teased him about it. He took it on good humour."

Alright - no one is perfect. Craig gives himself to the roll completely. I can't imagine how much time he must have spent in the gym to get that build. Leading men have been doing this for years. What is Tom Cruise like 5'5?
