Goofy Bond Daniel Craig

Daniel Craig is "downright goofy", says his 'Defiance' co-star Liev Schreiber.

The actor - who reprised his role as British agent James Bond in 'Quantum of Solace' - is nothing like his cool on-screen alter ego.

Liev explained to US TV show 'Entertainment Tonight': "We had a lot of fun, which was important because what we were doing was really quite sombre. Daniel Craig is far more entertaining and just downright goofy than I think most people think he is, and that's a result of that Bond thing he's doing."

The World War II movie, based on Nechama TecCast's book 'Defiance: The Bielski Partisans', tells the story of three Jewish brothers who join together in a bid to avenge the deaths of their closest relatives at the hands of the Nazis and end up helping countless other persecuted Jews in their quest.

Daniel, 40, recently revealed he likes being an actor because he can "dress up and show off".

He said: "You get into acting for the chase. It's dressing up and showing off. Let's be honest about it, at its basic level."
