It's not bad enough that Turner Broadcasting, UK has caved in to pressure from a British TV watchdog group, now some industry insiders have divulged that actor Daniel Craig will not be allowed to smoke cigars in his forthcoming James Bond movie, "Casino Royale."
The new 007 is furious with movie bosses, who decided to cut out smoking scenes because they don't want to send the message to young Bond fans that smoking is cool.
"I can blow off someone's head at close range and splatter blood, but I can't light a good Cuban cigar," Craig said while being interviewed recently by Parade magazine.
The news that Bond will not be smoking cigars in the film comes just days after it was announced he may drink lager instead of martinis in the film because the producers have signed a deal with Heineken.
Cigars, martinis and sultry women have been Bond trademarks since 1952 when the debonair spy first strolled out of the pages of "Casino Royal" - the premier novel in the series, and uttered the immortal words, "The name's Bond, James Bond."
The cigars are gone, the martinis may be gone - will the lovely ladies be next?
Couldn't he at least drink an ENGLISH ALE? Sheesh...
He's got a license to KILL, and he could die in the service of the crown with a stomach full of Heineken? C'mon NEWCASTLE BROWN!! DAMMIT
