Craig scared of Shakespeare
- Planet Bollywood Special Correspondant Let us know what you think about this story

London, Jan 8(PTI) The latest Bond on the block Daniel Craig wants to work in a West End play but says he is scared of working on a stage production of Shakespeare because he can't memorise the lengthy lines. "Not that, I don't think that doing the classics is a wonderful idea, but Shakespeare's got too many lines and the other stuff is really complicated," he said.

The British actor admits that he has always wanted to appear in a starring role on the London stage, but would only consider appearing in new works as the classics would be too complicated for him, the Contactmusic reported.

He said, "If a play came along right now, I would jump at it. I'm very keen on doing new writing with plays - that's where my heart is." The actor who began his acting career with theatre was the first ever blonde actor to portray the legendary British spy. He has also proved himself a versatile actor with his recent Holocaust drama 'In Defiance'.
