Despite insisting he is a huge fan of the series, Craig, 38, the British actor makes his debut as 007, has now admitted he hasn’t made the effort to watch a Bond adventure on the big screen since he was five, when his father took him to see ‘Live and Let Die’.

He confessed to GQ magazine: “The first Bond film I went to see was ‘Live and Let Die’. I think that was in 1973″ Shortly after Craig was announced as the new Bond angry fans started an online petition urging movie goers to boycott ‘Casino Royale’.

The group of disgruntled 007 enthusiasts asked people to log onto website www.craignotbond.com and voice their displeasure at the decision to replace Pierce Brosnan with the hunky blond star.

One fan, said: “I can’t believe Craig hasn’t been to the cinema to see a Bond film for over 20 years. James Bond can’t be treated like any other movie. We, as fans, demand that the history of the series is respected and it seems to me that Craig doesn’t care about the prestige of playing 007 at all.”
