Daniel Craig revealed as the booziest James Bond
Daniel Craig has been confirmed as the booziest James Bond in the franchise’s history, new research has revealed.
With new film No Time To Die marking Craig’s exit from the coveted 007 role, OLBG’s Bond Breakdown has delved into the data to take a closer look at the big numbers behind each Bond actor since Sean Connery brought the character to life in 1963.
Craig, due to appear in his fifth film this autumn, is revealed as the Bond actor with the biggest drinking habit, consuming an average of 21.25 units of alcohol in each of his films and a total of 85 units across all of them combined.
This puts him ahead of Roger Moore, who put away 81 units at an average of 11.50 per film, while Sean Connery (11.58) and Pierce Brosnan (12) also enjoyed a drink during their time in the famous tuxedo.
As well as being known for his dry martinis and licence to kill, Bond has a reputation for doing well with the ladies, but this is actually something which is becoming increasingly rare under Craig.
In fact, only Timothy Dalton’s Bond had fewer romantic liaisons than Craig on average per film.
With nine liaisons in total over his four films, Craig averages 2.25 hook-ups per film, the lowest of anyone other than Dalton.
Connery averaged 3.33 per film making him officially the most amorous 007 spy, totalling 20 romantic encounters in total in his films – with Roger Moore leading the way with 21 in total at an average of three per film.
Pierce Brosnan killed the most bad guys per film, amassing 34 bodies on average – ahead of Craig on 20 in second place – and was also the biggest advocate of the Q department, featuring nine gadgets per film.
Bond is well known for his jet-setting and international lifestyle, and it is no surprise that with the biggest budgets and box office earnings, Craig’s version of the character is the best travelled.
In his four films he has amassed a total of 85,778 miles at an average of 21,444 per film. While Moore did more travelling (98,610 in total across seven films), Craig travels further per installment than any of his predecessors, with Moore averaging 14,087 per film, Connery 13,638 and Brosnan 12,697.
