Daniel Craig finds it hard to strip for Bond

Daniel Craig says it's getting "harder and harder" to do nude scenes in James Bondmovies as he gets older, but he hopes his raunchy parts add to film franchise's "sexiness".

Daniel Craig says it's getting "harder and harder" to do nude scenes in James Bondmovies.

The 44-year-old actor : who is returning for his third film as the iconic British spy in �Skyfall' : admits he has "fun" taking hisclothes off while portraying the secret agent and hopes it adds some "sexiness" to the 007 film franchise.

He said: "I don't actually read those bits. I don't care how many times I have to do it. It's going to be harder and harder the older I get. It's just fun. There's enough sexiness in the movie with the girls : and hopefully me as well : but it's a little bit of a gag now."

Daniel stars opposite Javier Bardem in �Skyfall' and while he admits there was no free time to spend with the 43-year-old star : who portrays latest Bond villain Raoul Silva - during filming, he is keen to watch a game of rugby with the �No Country For Old Men' actor when they get a chance.

He explained: "He played rugby for Spain, so he's serious. It's funny, we never went together, but he went to the 6 Nations and I went to the 6 Nations when they were on. I got him tickets. He got metickets. I'd love to go to watch a rugby game with him.

"There's just no time [to hang out], unfortunately. I'm on set every day. I wish we had more time. But we have a long year ahead of us, so hopefully we'll see each other in a more chilled state."

Daniel admits Javier has put in a "superb" performance as Raoul thanks to his knowledge of how a successful Bond villain should act.

He added to ShortList magazine: "Well, Javier is a brilliant actor, so that's taken care of. He knows what a Bond villain is and he's given it everything he's got, which is a lot, let me tell you."
