Leaked pic of a bruised and battered Bond...still not sure about this guy.

Especially after reading this quote:

Daniel Craig stunned James Bond bosses when he couldn't drive 007's classic car - reports LSE.

Filmmakers had transported Bond's original Aston Martin DB5 to the Bahamas to shoot new movie 'Casino Royale'.

But the star confessed he didn't have a license to drive the manual car, which Sean Connery drove when he played the dashing spy.

The 39-year-old reportedly said: "Er... I don't do gears."

An insider is quoted in Britain's Daily Star newspaper as saying: "They've started shooting here and are using the old DB5, which is absolutely sensational. It was shipped over and was ready to go but then we found out he can't drive a manual car.

"So we have had to adapt it so it's like an automatic. You don't expect that with James Bond, to be honest."

Last year, Craig admitted he is struggling to overcome his biggest fear to play Bond - he's terrified of guns.

The star will have to handle weapons in the film but said he was left petrified after seeing a real life bullet wound.

He said at the time: "I hate handguns. They are used to shoot people and as long as they are around, people will shoot each other. I've seen a bullet wound and it was a mess."

We have to give him a chance. He's an actor, so he'll have to suck it up.

Juaqim (sp?) Phoenix doesn't wear leather, but he still plays people who do wear it (he gets suits made of man made materials).

Mind you, it's quite sad that this new Bond can't drive a stick. Actually, that's downright pathetic. Is it too late to fire him? Maybe Roger Moore's available.

Afraid of guns and can't drive a standard -- this must be the new Bond.

If they are not sticking with a dark haired Bond, I nominate Dunc for the role.

I remember some sweet driving in Downtown Van so we could catch a quick show at the Cecil.

hell yeah, remember that e-brake move...smoking. There's a corner on the mine site that's always iced up and the old black Volvo can pull some sweet moves on it. The boys and I call it the 'Jason Bourne' corner. Going out for a coffee and to ponder growing the hell up. Alright, pondered long enough, fuck all that shit.
